Radiator Problems of Ford Fiesta

Saturdat July 30, 2019my vehicle overheated. Vehicle was taken in for cooling maintenance. Radiator thermostat and cooling reservoir was checked. I was advised to monitor the coolant level. On aigust 10, 2019 while driving 75 mph, the temperature gauge displayed "overheating". I pulled over and opened the hood. When I open the hood the coolant was boiling. I waited 20 mins for the boiling to subside. I slowly removed the cap and the coolant level started to rise which was the same issue as before.

For several months since I've had the car. It will from time to time stall out. Now it crank but won't start up. You can be driving or idle and the car shakes and stalls out. Due to this it caused my car to overheat. My car will crank but not move at all. The other issue since I bought the car it ran hot. So hot to the point that it crack the radiator hose. I replaced. The car would run hot if you sat idle while driving for too long.

I bought this Ford Fiesta with the 1. 0l ecoboost new. All maintenance for this car is uptodate no mechanical problems with the engine until oct 10, 2017. I noticed the coolant level was well below the min. Line of the coolant reservoir almost below the turbo coolant line in the tank. I immediately found some approved coolant and added it until the max. Line. There were no warning lights and the car didn't overheat the day before. I checked the coolant level 3 days later and found that it was halfway between the two lines on the tank. I filled it up to the max. Line. I checked it again on sat. Morning of oct. 21st. It had dropped to the min. Line. I thought this was a definite problem. I checked over the hoses and looked over the engine block, the intercooler, and what I could of the radiator, but I didn't see signs of coolant leaking. In less than two weeks I put 3/4 of a jug of coolant into my car and it only had about 36000 miles on it. I brought it to a local Ford dealer on sun oct. 22. And the techs did a diagnostic and pressure test on mon. He called me to say they couldn't find anything wrong. I told him of the amount of coolant so he thought to recheck. The dealer did a total of 3 pressure checks on the car with no leaks. I asked if he could check the exhaust for coolant out the tail pipe. He said that if it was doing that the car would be running rough but it ran fine. I'm picking the car back up since he said they couldn't do anything more. It doesn't make sense, where did all the coolant go? is my car going to overheat and do something like the other ecoboost engine problems, including engine fires?.

Vehicle when starting from a stopped position will hesitate and shutter the front end and when u keep going past the third gear it will come out of the shuttering. Also wants to stutter when applying gas and acts like its going to stop. Have had the plastic clutch pack replaced in October 2013 but car is worse when accelerating from a stop or lower speed and wanting to accelerate or go faster. The car still shutters hard and acts like wants to die in traffic flow and now car is making grinding and rattle every time accelerating from a speed of 0-30 miles per hr. I want this fixed because this car will not last me until it gets paid off. Ford needs to take note that this 6 pack clutch system is not working for this type of vehicle. I will b getting an attorney if it gets to the point of this cost coming out of my pocket. Shuttering really bad , grinding noise , rattling noise, cutting out like it wants to die, I have seen the first burnt part they replaced in my car and wonder why Ford motor company would install a plastic piece inside a metal part. Also my headlights and windows are somehow connected together. Headlights are not positioned properly to see more then 1/2 car length in front of vehicle. Also radiator was loose and ready to fall out of car after driving vehicle 2 weeks.
