Note that this problem would not have happened if it weren't for a second underlying bug: vehicles taking damage for no obvious reason.
My radiator was filled with water so overheating surely was not the cause of the vehicle damage. I assume it started taking damage due to the front left tire being ruined. But it makes ZERO sense for a car engine to take damage just because the wheel rim is scrapping the ground.
Please look into this!
Note also: I'm on the Xbox, I don't know why it asks my Operating System right below as if I was playing in the PC.
