Losing coolant and overheating. Changed thermostat and still losing coolant and overheating. Don't know if this is related to but in the summer when the a.c was on the passenger side floor would get real wet.

For the overheating get it block and pressure tested to find out-

I have the same issue. I always keep a big jug of coolant in the trunk and refill as necessary. I'm hoping the pros will answer this question for my sake too.

If you're not physically leaking anywhere-then its burning in the cylinders due to blown head gasket, cracked head or block,intake manifold leak or its going into the crankcase-check oil level/condition. Overall get it block and pressure tested to find out where its leaking
