Low to no heat winter is coming!!!!

It should be under powertrain warranty. At least it was in our 2008 Acadia. The dealer replaced it with no issues. Funny thing was that the water pump went out a day later. Go figure.

Doesn't surprise me your water pump went out as well. I suspect an open thermostat puts a lot of excessive load on the water pump and a bad water pump will cause the thermostat to do strange things.

This morning I had heat. So I dont get it. Also since this is an electric thermostat shouldn't this set off a check engine light if it was stuck open? i know there is a tsb for it. But it seems to be working again. odd

Yeah I know but I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND ANY MONEY ON A NEW CAR THAT THE HEAT WAS USED ONLY ONE WINTER. if this is out of warranty. Ill be so mad ill trade it in for something else.

[jblackburn]

? It's a thermostat and you put a ton of miles on your car already. You're going to trade it over a MINOR repair like that that you could easily do yourself???

That makes no sense but ok.

[unitednations161]

The TSB says That it needs a computer flash that a dealer has to do. Plus they said it should of set off the engine light in which it didn't. Yes I can replace a thermostat if thats the problem, is a electric thermostat the same as an old wax one? and a ton of miles? 40,000 isnt a ton of miles. LOL. my 84 AMC eagle has a TON of miles. Not my cruze.


Well when your 2011 cruze has already had the transmission replaced and now no heat. and my 84 amc eagle runs great, it kind of makes a person mad. Right?
