I was driving on the highway and when i came to a point where i slowed all the way down my engine froze. Luckily it restarted but as soon as it did there was this terrible sound like a big rock was flying around in my engine. Also no check engine lights came on so there was no warning. Also the a/c stopped working about 1 yr ago. I had freon put in and it stop working about 6 months ago.
