While driving the car made a left turn on it's on real fast then all my dash lights lite up like a christmas tree. The steering wheel as also stuck in a right hand turn but still driving straight. This was a very scary situation.

The car over heat even after making sure that it has enough coolant, this is the second time this car has done this in a 2 year span! Took it to the shop the first time it happened an they replaced the head gasket, i'm guessing it's the same issue now
