I was driving the vehicle in highway traffic with a slowdown in the morning , I was driving 14mph and vehicle had about 60,005 miles. The engine started knocking hard while I was driving, prior to this the engine had no issues.
Was driving vehicle at 45 mph but once the vehicle slowed down to under 25 mph it would start sputtering. Drove about a half a mile and engine light came on stating Engine Coolant Over Temperature.
