well gang my 02 MC wnet thru a thermostat, car REALLY overheated at a standstill...so i had it towed to morristown mini in NJ and not only did it take over a week to fix, but they left my car beyond filthy and somehow half a tank of gas was gone....anyone had similar problems with the thermostat or poor customer service?

We were drivingdown the highway and the non-descript "Check engine soon" light came n. I freaked because in any other car this is the beginnning of the end. Louis quickly consulted the manual and it said that we could continue to drive. Louis took the car in in a week, because they didn't have anytime to see it that week. and it was reportd that the thermostat had gone bad, didn't overheat or anything-I blame that on the random spring weather we are having. But now my car just turned 2 months old-literally.
