Coming back to Waterloo from Toronto, I had to stop twice, I actually stopped 3 times, the second time was at a the Service Centre tired to be proactive, stopped for few mins then drove, but few mins later warning came! So it didn't really help. It seems I just need to turn off and on the car then it good to go again.

Just wondering if this is the temperature sensor or the water pump?

I also noticed sometimes in the past 2 weeks when I shift from 2nd to 3rd the care "chokes" a bit. It doesnt happen all the time though.
what message were you getting? .. have you check your coolant level to see if you are losing coolant. If you are getting the overheat message you probably shouldnt be driving the car as you can do damage your engine ..
