Consumer Description

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.
