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.

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