Q: Car won't start
Initial problem started as heat blowing out cold air. Bought antifreeze and it leaks out. A week later I leave work and it's below zero outside and car goes into limp mode, reduces power. Reads I need an oil change and my oil life is on 0% but I just recently had my oil changed. Car won't start now, jumped it and it started it then shut right off
