Six months ago I got this vehicle. Four days after I had it six months it runs hot and shut off. Was told I needed a water pump. Got it replaced but did not help. They broke it apart because warranty said so. Engine is cracked, head is broken. The entire time I had the vehicle only issue was needing to replace coolant. No signs of leaking other than needing to refill. Now I still have most of the time to pay it off and my not so great warranty will not cover repair telling me vehicle has overheated many times. I need help and my vehicle fixed.

If head cracked and you kept filling coolant then it was probably a head gasket leak and it got worse. So not the head will need replacing as well as head gaskets.

Whole engine needs to be replaced. When I told them I had to refill coolant, I was told that is normal.

If you have to add fluid all the time it is leaking somewhere.
