First year I owned vehicle, I noticed that during the winter the temperature gauge would not get above 1/4. The heater was relatively cool, but my commute was relatively short so I downplayed the matter thinking the heater sucked because it was a fuel efficient car. I mentioned the problem when I took the vehicle in for another problem and was told that it was in fact normal.
A couple years later I had a different job and my commute was now an hour long on the interstate. The vehicle would never warm up correctly. I would leave work at night with the temperature at -10f and arrive home an hour later and would be freezing. I could see my breathe.
I resorted to taking a blanket with me, and having aftermarket seat heaters installed. I called the dealership and wanted to get the thermostat replaced, coolant changed, whatever I could get done so the car would be warmer. Found out that there was a update available to the instrument cluster. They updated the cluster, and driving home from the dealership the temperature gauge was at the halfway mark. I had heat in cold weather.
A couple months later I started getting check engine codes for thermostat regulating not up to temp, or something similar. The dealership replaced the thermostat, and the code went away for a couple weeks, then came back. The code now persists in the cold winter months and goes away in the spring. I'm fortunate to have heat so I really don't care about the CEL.
