(You ended up calling Onstar anyways) A flatbed would have been sent to save you. No need to take the risk of causing damage to the vehicle by driving it when overheated. JMHO.

I WAS PANICKING! LOL didn't think of calling onstar till i got it parked O..O that's what im trying to figure out. if i like broke the engine or something. i hope not tho -..-

For future referance. Shutting an overheated car off for a few minutes to cool is about as useful as not shutting it off at all. Even with aluminums heat transfer qualities it takes your engine quite awhile to cool. Unless it's dangerous to stop immediatly you should stop immediately. Good luck

nope. sounds like a high quality GM product

TheClassicCarKid · 05-21-2010, 02:55 AM

for the record, when your car is overheating, repeatedly turning it off and on will probably do more damage than just driving it to a nearby area where you can turn it off.
As for problems, your engine obviously didn't seize, and your dealer is probably competent enough to notice any damage like head gaskets etc.

I think you'll be fine
