sounds like R&R flunkies that work at the dealer, the little code says t-stat so the flunkies change it out, fine, but when the car comes back, I would be thinking faulty temp switch and I'd check both the t stat in a pot of water and the temp switch with a thermometer stuck in the radiator. I'm sure the flunkies will just change out the t stat again:notallthere:
Lemon, if you owned a Citation or any K-car you would really understand the meaning of that term.
Here a story got the silly tire pressure junk on the company car, one of them is faulty, so every so ofter it puts the car in limp home as it sends I don't got any air signal to the brain. So it goes in and out of the dealer like 4 times total and the dealer can't fix it cause it is intermitent. The dealer mechanic does not want to fill air over the factory 30 PSI, here tells me it is "dangerous"... rigth :notallthere: Like the max cold tire pressure by the people that made the tire is right there on the sidewall and 39 PSI ain't even close. Now the ride is a little firmer but hey this is a float the boat Impala.
My fix I pump all four up to 39 PSI and no problems. Other guys drive the car and lower it down and have problems. So yes a car is an appliance and if so, some people can't drive some cars. For me I understand how the car works and if a few more PSI is going to make it work for me, fine, ain't my car.
Bottom line, have the flunkies check BOTH the temp switch and the t-stat. Not just be the remove and replace lemmings.
