Exclamation Overheating 05 sx areio tried almost everything HELP ME!

Hi every one im new to this forum and well i have lot of ?s. First off last year my car started to overheat in aug. during some LA traffic so i took it to a shop. he ran Diag. and all the other stuff and found out supposely it was the thermostat so i changed it. and started it to overheat again like 3wks later unfortunatly he said he couldnt fix again cuz 2wks guarantee was out. I cant take it to a dealer cause i hav no warranty so that was out. I asked my cousin and he said he had no idea cause it seemed to be fine he told me to get a flush and check for leaks i did it and it was ok During the winter months but started again in LA and another trip to bakersfield this year; about 2 months ago. The fans run both fine and im all out on ideas now im just lost and tight on money. Now it only does it as soon as i get off on a freeway exit on long trips and short ones too... i hear the coolant moving but sometimes it just overheats even during lots of stops or traffic lights now i fill the radiator and the resevoir full often and it seems like the resesvoir is full or spit back in by the radiator once at stop it spits it out cause it was so hot and i refilled it through the radiator directly. im sure it not the cap,fans,leaks or thermostat but i think its the water pump .... but im not sure but i read a very simalar story on here almost exactly LIKE MINE. now not even diagnostics can read it ? cause i hav no overheat light on my odometer panel... im sorry if i dont make sense but please HELP im Beggin its my life in this car! plus my break lights dont work on one side and i tried to fix it too... but i think its the socket cause the lights work but not the break light on the left

Are there any leaks that you can see? Why are you adding coolant so often if there are no leaks? If it is disappearing and nothing externally is leaking then you are burning it. You should NOT be able to hear the coolant circulating. This means there is air in the system and you must bleed it all out. If what you said about the coolant bubbling out of the rad is true it sounds like you are getting combustion gases in the coolant and overpressurizing the system (again, leaking head gasket or worse - a cracked head).
If you continue to drive it like this you will damage the motor further if you haven't already. You should take it somewhere to get diagnosed properly. If the dealership is the only trustworthy place bite the bullet and pay for proper diagnoses. Aerios don't typically overheat easily so something is definately wrong. Check the rad for leaks though as I've replaced a few leaky Aerio rads over the winter here.

well some people dont really no whats wrong and unfortunately i dont hav a suzuki dealer near home its about 45mins to an 1 hr to get ther or more and well that sounds like it makes sense.... do u really think that might be it... like the past 2 wks that i hav been driving in town it hasnt over heat or i havnt filled it at all with coolant but than yet i hav been driving with heater on all day ... honestly what do u think i should if this can hurt my car even more.... and well u dont think it can be the water pump ? plus i had a guy on this site hav the same exact similar story " stop for about 15 seconds and turn off the car and the temp goes regular " check it out hes on page 3 of the forum
