Description of the problem	June 2020 - car began popping up with the alert "a/c off due to high engine temp" - upon checking the car had coolant so replaced the thermostat. July 2020 the issue kept occurring and i began having to put coolant in the vehicle every few days. Took to another shop who said it was leaking from a hose - replaced hoses. Aug 2020 - issue continued and then stopped holding water all together - had to replace water pump, rez, thermostat, and various belts/hoses - drove the car for three days when the message popped up again. Took it back to the shop and was told that (despite it being 1 owner car) "someone" had put stop leak in it and it made the thermostat stick. They flushed the engine and replaced the thermostat again and the car drove for 1 week before the issue kept occurring. This time it started having trouble cranking and caused a blown head gasket. So now after 8 months and $3,500 i have replaced everything that could possibly make it overheat/have a coolant issue and had the entire engine rebuilt - hopefully this time it fixes the issue. This is a known issue and needs to be addressed.
