Italian translation:L'auto continua a scaldarsi e si blocca
Explanation:
Riferita ad una persona, l'espressione "venirse abajo" vuol dire "crollare", "lasciarsi prendere dallo sconfrto", volendo anche "gettare la spugna".

Riferito ad una macchina, credo che la resa migliore sia "bloccarsi", "impallarsi", "smettere di funzionare". Volendo, in riferimento ad un componente elettronico anche "andare in tilt".
