Thanks for the info on the thermostat/fan issue

Thanks and appreciated for the info. I will bring our car to the dealer on Monday to ask them about it and request that they check the thermostat. Hopefully our dealer will have heard about this issue. I

I will look for other posts here about this problem. Do either of you know if the reported thermostat/fan issues have been intermittent at first and then become more frequent as the thermostat fails?
