So the housing was bad, it’s plastic because why not. One thermostat was in backwards and the coolant temp sensor was broken and siliconed into the housing causing a leak. Also, it would bubble into the reservoir tank because my coolant was boiling as it had no flow. My transmission link cable was held on by a zip tie. My lug nuts were torqued to over 200 foot pounds stripping all the lug nuts. Luckily for me they were aluminum and my studs are fine. Here’s some pics of the journey of problems. Also, I broke a socket getting the lug nuts off. With a breaker bar. Not even an impact.

I would not recommend buying this car for any reason. It is awfull. The 2.4l 4 cylinder is weak as hell and it has a 4 speed to pair with it. It’s also costing me 650 a month on liability only because it looks sporty. A mustang is cheaper. Don’t ever buy this car
