When the PT started having cooling issues, there were warning lights and bells during normal operation. Temperature would climb when the vehicle was stopped or driving slowly. Temperature would drop when the car was at speed. Air conditioning stopped working. Heating stopped working. Local mechanics could not identify the cause, but would add coolant, instead. Eventually, another mechanic identified a bad seal, which was replaced, along with the thermostat.
