Over Heating issues

Well my car keeps overheating when I am in stop and go traffic. And I have been watching the coolant level and it apears that it is using coolant . Anyone here had this problem yet? I have 25000 miles on it now and it started about 3 weeks ago. This car is becoming a pain in my side. Looks like a new motor is going to be done here soon.

I don't know why you're overheating, but I recently added water wetter to my car and it appears to work pretty well.

I recall there being several forum members who had engines replaced, and coolant loss/consumption was a symptom. Something about improperly machined housings (or something like it) was to blame. Bottom line though, a factory defect.
