also I need to replace the radiator support under my car I have been quoted over a thousand for labor after cost of part. The price range on the part is 125- 400 dollars? Totaling repair bill of 1500 plus? Is there a way to repair without replacing the whole piece. It s rotted just under the radiator

For overheat check to see that both fans are working it may be a fuse or relay in relay box there are three. Could be a bad fan as well or a wiring issue due to you needing the radiator support
