Hello, thank you for taking the time to read this post.
Since i got my 2006 grand prix 3.8L from the dealership, my e-brake cables have seized and the dealer took care of it with their mechanic, that is all fine and dandy, but i also mentioned to the mechanic that the car runs hot, 3/4 of the way up on the thermostat when idling and drops slightly when driving.
Yesterday was the highest i have seen the thermostat go, it went all the way into the red zone and the car was telling me that the coolant is hot. The mechanic told me it is normal and they run hot, the fans are turning on at 3/4 the way up on the thermostat. Which i thought was really weird because every car i have owned has the fans turn on at normal operating temp. the overheating happened when i was in the bank drive through. I don't know what to do at this point, the mechanic said its normal. But i don't really find that normal.
Any advice would be very appreciated.
Thank you.
