My Malibu just recently started dumping out all of the antifreeze at one time, on a regular basis just a few days ago. When I stop the car after I've been driving with the heat running, all of the coolant just comes rushing out of the reservoir on to the ground. It doesn't do this if I runthe vehicle without the heater on. Will someone please explain to me what is happening here? I've talked to several auto parts stores and mechanics and no one can come up with a solid answer.

That's because running the heater has nothing to do with the problem. The car has to be diagnosed tp determine the cause of the overheating. At this point it could even have a blown head gasket from one of the earlier overheatings that may have had a different cause at the time.
