Purchased used November 2005 and within 6 months the car oveheated. Had te thermostat, radiator, and serpentine belt replaced. In 2008, overheated again and had the thermostat replaced which cost $170 because it is located UNDERNEATH the engine (how convenient). May 2011 overheated and took to a radiator shop where they flushed it and said there were no problems they could find. Then November 2011, it overheated one time when I had to stop every 3-5 miles to replace water to get home and never drove it again. Now there is water in the oil. I could never get enough water in the engine because I couldn't get it into the radiator directly. The mechanic said the temp thermometer was to regulate the temp to the half way mark to run more efficient but the first thermostat that was in it ran cooler. I do not have any money and work part-time and cannot buy another car. I have to rely on the mercy of family to get to work. Why do the make such cheap engines?
