The lights came back on within a week. The car stalled while driving it and had to pull over inside of the highway, turn it off, wait a few minutes before turning it back on.

In the past 2 months my car starting having rough idle issues. As recommended by the dealership, I replaced the head gasket as they said it was leaking coolant into the cylinder causing the rough idle.

Took it back to the…
