| Description of the problem | On two occasion my check engine light came on. Both times the thermostat gage kept going up and down. On both occasion i took the vehicle to have it checked. On the second occasion that this happened i was told that a technical service bulletin had been issued for this problem. (pull code #p2181) i was also told that i had to take the vehicle to a dealer to have it taken care of. Since this is a manufacturing issue i felt that it should be taken care at no cost to me but was informed that i would need to in fact pay for this update. (not only do i need to pay but i also have to take time off from work to have this done). |
