1. rear wiper quit working several years ago. Sluggish and now froze up. Hasn't worked for a long time. 2. replaced radiator several years ago. Replaced thermostat several times over the years. Then... 2018, September, -- disappearing coolant from radiator for last 6 months with no obvious leak. Car over heated in August but no obvious leak. Kept refilling... 3 days ago bottom thermostat housing sprung a big leak and car overheated major. Replaced thermostat, and full thermostat housing. Internet recommends updating software because of overheating, but is priced at about $110 at all dealerships.
