I was driving along when I could smell my car getting hot, so I pulled over and sure enough it was overheating, but did not show inside on the dashboard, so I had it checked and the plastic housing around the thermostat was cracked in 3 places, so I say fix it, they said it would be $450, ok no problem, then they called back and said that the housing was welded to the manifold and that I would have to replace all for $1200 and that the housing wasn't made of plastic anymore because of this problem. I think this should be a recall and fixed for free.
