Traveling 35mph when temperature light would go to hot. This caused vehicle to stall out. Have taken to mechanic, and was informed that head gaskets had blown. Contacted manufacturer, and nothing could be done about head gaskets.

Head gasket, thermostat and sensor failures caused the engine to stall. Yh
