There are many gaskets on your car; there is no way for me to tell which gasket the coolant is shooting out of without directly inspecting your car. I can say that it is not common for a head gasket...
The engine shuts down in drive because once in drive the transmission places a load on the engine and obviously the engine's operation is marginal enough that it can't accommodate that load. The engine has an ignition, fuel, or air...
The brown liquid you are seeing sounds like you may have a leaking heater core or radiator (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/radiator-replacement) that may have some rust inside, which may explain the brown color and steaming. I would suggest having a professional from YourMechanic...
Before the overheating problems were fixed you may have leaked out some freon and would need to have pressures in the system checked to see if it is low on freon refrigerant? If it is low then have system recharged...
You need to check the transmission cooler line connections at the radiator are not leaking or came disconnected from the radiator. The line connection may have been damaged during assembly or the radiator had the wrong connectors and the ones...
Hi there. In general, when this situation occurs, it's due to loose or damaged suspension components as you've described above and indicated were recently replaced. It's quite possible that one of the components has come loose and is the source...

This may be a sign of a dirty or failing mass air flow sensor. The mass air flow sensor is a unit in the intake system that monitors air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected...
This is a common issue. There are several components that can fail to prevent the shifting out of park. The interlock system has two things that often fail, the switch itself and the electronic interlocking mechanism itself. If the switch...
If the outer CV joint has popped out, there's a likelihood that it is damaged. It can be examined to determine if it is safely re-usable but the best course will likely be to just replace the axle that has...
The electrical issues are likely caused by a faulty Body Control Module (BCM) and/or a deficient circuit ground and Controller Area Network connections to the PCM and other modules. You principally have an electrical problem and that should be resolved...
Based upon the symptoms you are describing, it sounds like you may have a faulty camshaft position sensor. The camshaft position sensor is a magnetic sensor that monitors camshaft speed to regulate ignition timing and fuel injection timing. It gathers...
Depending on the specific type of sound, this may be related to an alternator that may be starting to fail. As you may know, the alternator charges the battery while the engine runs by generating amperage and recharging the battery...
