I have been to the shop so many times since I bought this car. The first time out of nowhere it started smoking white smoke and overheated the engine and come to find out the tubing in the car had exploded. Then got everything fixed and now still having the same problem with overheating and white smoke but now a burning smell. It's something new every time. I found this response o. Your website with another person who has this car and this happened to mine as well: ' hoses to my cooling system all busted one after another with in 5 day we could see the week spot in the hose after thy busted,had the thermostat changed , it also blow my head gasket' this is also happened and I barely drive it. It's 5 miles down the street where I work with a 45mph max speed limit. I have pictures and videos as well but can't attach it

Takata recall as I was heading to work one morning the light I was waiting at turned green as I got ready to go my car shut off completely, but restarted. Ifound out my car was leaking oil on my head gaskets causing it to shut off. My sales rep managed to talk his mechanic to fix that. Now my car has a problem with the fuel injectors causing the take off not to be proper & draining my gas!!
My coolant reservoir has been emptied suddenly on 4 occasions. One one occasion, while driving on the highways, my car overheated, and was found to have no coolant. After filling it, letting the car cool, and driving 10 minutes down the road, it had overheated and was empty again. That time, and once before, it was the hose. Another time, the cap was damaged, and was allowing coolant to evaporate. The most recent time, there is a crack in the reservoir, allowing the coolant to leak. However, my overheating warning did not come on. My heat has also not been working, even if I warm my car up ahead of time in the cold weather.
The car has lost power while driving on 3 occasions so far over the past 3 years. Each time this happened, I have been driving between 25-45 MPH in a residential/suburban area. I have had to roll to a stop and pull over on a busy road. My gas nor breaks worked at all while this was happening. I turned my car off, then on, and it worked like normal again.
