Car started having problems heating up while idling. Became a real problem when trying to warm up before work in the winter or taking kids to the bus stop and having to shut off the engine so as to not blow cold air in the car. Had it fixed by my own mechanic which worked for about a year. Now it's happening again and will have to bring back in to get fixed. I have 139,000 miles on the car and time to get rid of it.
