2011 Chevy cruze. Coolant, overheating, engine light
i am at my wits end trying to fugure this out. 3 years ago end of summer my engine light came on out of nowhere and my car's heat wouldnt work. The next day it overheated on way to work i got it to a mechanic and was told i needed a thermostat. Replaced thermostat and the engine light went off. Couple months go by and i am having peoblems again. Im putting coolant in every week. Half gallons at a time! Had it pressure tested nothing wrong, replaced a hose didnt help, replaced valve cover didnt help. No engine light until today and fan runs high and loud. Why for this many years and this many mechanics looking at it and nothing can be found and nothing fixes it. This is the worst it has sounded since this started. I bought this car because it was dependable or so i thought. Seems alot of other people are having the sane issues! Why is there no recall for this problem? I am a single mother with a single income and obviously i need my car to get to work! I also can not continue to keep paying to fix all these things for the problem to not be fixed. HELP!!!

I'm here for the party
the leaks i see are for the water pump and reservoir. if theres no visible leaks or puddles under the car then it might be internal. you can have the coolant tested for exhaust gasses. if the mechanic you take it to (guessing backyard) mechanic cant find the leak i would find a new mechanic. the reason you heat prob did work is because the coolant was low due to a coolant leak. the thermostat might not have even been bad but the coolant leak caused these issues from the start. maybe theres head damage or head gasket might be damaged
