After starting vehicle, and driving slow, up back roads, I notice temperature gauge slowly rising up to half...I have not gone any more than three miles and it is at half mark... In traffic, I notice gauge is a bit higher than half,.. but getting out to open roads and driving a bit faster, I see gauge coming back down to below half.. This gauge has never really got up to High, or overheated, as I do not want to go too far, just in case it does, and leaves me standing beside the road, waiting for a tow-truck............Just another reason why I should have never chose this vehicle........A.
