Brought the car in to have the rear power locks checked. Both had gotten lazy. Dealer diagnosed power lock actuators as root cause. They had the actuator for the right rear door in stock, repaired that immediately. They had to order the actuator for the left rear door. Return trip for power door locks. The dealer did not have the power lock actuator for the left rear door in stock, and had to order it. Return trip was simply to remove/replace the previously diagnosed fault.

on-going problem. In 2020, the coolant diverter (common issue on the GM 1.4L DOHC/T engine) was replaced. Technician left cap loose on expansion/overflow tank. Between shop and home, engine pumped most of the coolant out of the system. Was returned to garage next day and refilled/bled. Since that trip, the engine has not been right. Continually loses heat and will display an overtemp warning light on the cluster. Was returned to dealer Monday (1-31-22) for diagnostic. Replaced the thermostat/thermostat housing. Technician test drove the car. Engine displayed the same symptoms- loss of heat and overtemp light. Returned to shop on 2-2-2022... spent four hours diagnosing, still could not solve problem. Car continues to have this issue. Dealer is at a loss. Ongoing issue...will keep posted.
