| Description of the problem | While driving a knocking sound occurred and the engine temperature began to rise. Eventually the suv begins to stall and starts to lose power. Once stopped (pulled over safely) i noticed that the coolant is overflowing and gushes out along the side of the hood. When adding more coolant, it continues to overflow once driving and the engine temp rises again and begins to stall. Seems to not be able to hold coolant. |
