My mom drove my X this morning (07.00 AM ET) to drop my brother and go to her job. Right before they got to my brother workplace, the heat temp. is up, battery sign blinking, a bit smoke coming out the hood and heavy steering. They stopped. Opened the hood and the cap for the coolent tank was open. Figured the smoke came from dripping water onto the engine. So I told my mom to wait till it cool down, put the cap back and see how it goes. Afterward, she said the temp. is back to normal, no more smokes but the steering still heavy and the battery check still on. Now, my mom used to drive a non power steering car and she said this time is even a lot heavier. What do you think guys..!
