When driving the vehicle on an incline, or the engine is under loaad, the temperature gague goes up, but as soon as I come out of it, the temperature returns to normal. I have had it tested and it is not actually overheating. Have a new water pump, thermostat, sensor and radiator. Also, the car symbol on the instrument panel is on and all doors and trunk are closed. Had to take it to the dealer, they've determined it is electrical after the "diagnostic", but are still trouble shooting after a week to determine the exact cause.
I was driving down the street and the vehicle coasted to a stop in the street. Engine was running at idle. Gas pedal had no response. Didn't see any fault indicators. Shifted to neutral. Pushed gas pedal several times with no response. After about 30 seconds gas pedal started working. Shifted to drive and drove to side of road. Drove vehicle to dealer. They pulled fault code p1285. Dealer replaced radiator fan and head temperature sensor. Working okay so far. (3 days).
