Need help, car lost power
I was on my way to lunch and suddenly a yellow thermometer sign popped up in center dash and then changed to red. Car lost power and slowed down to 20mph, I could hear the cooling fan was all the way in high speed.
Does this mean my water pump is gone? Car only has 34k miles and I need a new water pump? Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry shouldn't have been a question mark on my last response. I know what a water pump is. I think the pump is your issue.

The engine temp was low since I just left the office for 5 minutes. Can I drive it to the dealer (around 10 miles) or I need to call a tow truck?

I'd pay the $80-100 for a tow personally. |

So this is the typical symptom for water pump failure for sure?

it could mean a lot of things... if you have a warranty I wouldn't worry about it and just drop it off at the dealer and get a courtesy car for the time being....
sometimes it just takes one bad part out of the bunch... let the dealer sort it out... and definitely tow it there, you don't want more problems... |

Yes, the car was on a flatbed to the dealership this afternoon. Now I just need to find out how much the stealership is going to charge me for the water pump replacement.

Unless it doesn't cover the water pump, which I doubt it wouldn't, than don't worry too much man! That's why you bought the warranty, you might have a small deductible, but other than that, the warranty should foot the bill.
