Coolant doesn't go through the cooling system, and the vehicle will overheat.
Either the car will overheat (stuck shut) or the car will never reach normal temperature(stuck open). If there is no reading on the guage the temperature sender in the engine cylinder head is likely to be faulty.
Couple of questions: Is this an automated/drive thru car wash? Does this happen befor or after you open the door; define after? Couple of questions: Is this an automated/drive thru car wash?

many things could be wrong......if you are losing antifreeze it could be a hose, water pump, a radiator leak, head gasket....check for any orange or green fuild under the hood of the car and any signs of somthing being wet.......if no fuild is lost could be the themostat...if u have no heat in the car it could be a sign of the themostat...the themostat could be stuck closed...this is if there is not major damage to the car entarnaly to the engine....
your car well run faster your car well run faster
Minor accidents happen in heavy traffic or on highways where as serious crashes happen more out on the open road where people speed more and there are sharp corners
Yes, it can. I've seen it occur. If it does happen because of this then there is a fault. It should not happen.
get under the car, follows the water hose to the engine remove the water hose and remove the base where the hose hooks in to and you will find the termostat inside the base.
if it is a indoor gas heater check the filter ref 2 owners man or if it is in a car maybe themostat
Open car
This usually means there is a pressure or heat related problem in the cooling system. When you are driving, the engine is working hard and building heat and pressure. If something is weak, the system cannot hold that pressure properly. When you stop, the heat stays trapped and actually increases for a short time. This is called heat soak. That extra pressure then forces coolant out, which is why you see the leak only when stopped. Common causes include a weak radiator cap that cannot hold pressure, a small leak in a hose or radiator that opens when hot, a cracked coolant reservoir that expands and leaks, or a worn water pump seal that starts leaking under heat. In more serious cases, it could be a head gasket problem that creates excess pressure. The overheating while driving happens because coolant is either escaping or not circulating properly, so the engine cannot cool itself. A good first step is to check coolant level after the engine cools down, look for dried coolant marks around hoses and the radiator, and inspect the reservoir tank and cap. Replacing the radiator cap is often a simple and inexpensive fix to try first.
The hose on the Drivers side of the car has a houseing on it that fastens to the water pump. Remove this houseing from the water pump { quite easy } and the thermostat is under this.
It depends on your engine, but the easiest method is open your hood. Look down at the engine and look to the right of the radiator.. look for a large black rubber hose. It connects to where the thermostat will be.
