Description of the problem	Purchased vehicle used 8/2017. 5/2018 car smoking and overheating while driving. Water pump replaced. Still having issues with car overheating while driving, i was replacing coolant about once a month. Twice the thermostat housing was replaced, 8/2018 and 11/2018. Car had issues again overheating while driving in 4/2019. An intercooler pipe, pvc pipe, water pipe, and water hose were replaced. My check engine light came on again in 9/2019, many issues were found but i only had enough money to repair the catalytic converters. At this point i was replacing coolant every two weeks to avoid the engine overheating and at times it was a visible puddle coming from under the car. 11/20/2019 i returned to get a sensor and another thermostat housing replaced. 11/27/2019 i had the car towed to the shop after my vehicle began smoking while driving. I pulled over and coolant was quickly dripping out from under the car. The radiator was cracked and needed to be replaced. When the car was returned to me i noticed that the engine was noisy and there was a screechy sound upon acceleration. I had trouble picking up speed. I got to the gas station about a mile away and turned off the car to get gas. When i turn the vehicle back on the engine began to shake, rev up and down on its own, and then cut off. I tried a few times to start the car up and it happened every time. I immediately called the repair shop and had the car towed back the same night. They were able to look at it on 11/29/2019 and reported that they saw no issues. In disbelief, i picked up the car, and i drove around for almost a week. I ended up coming back to ride along while a technician test drove the car. He saw and heard the same issues that i clearly had with the vehicle. We returned back to the shop and he did a diagnostic test that showed there was an issue with the turbocharger.
