Consumer Description
VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE DUE TO OVERHEATING FROM THE FAILURE OF THE COOLANT SYSTEM. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH DOWN TO 15MPH IN A MATTER OF A FEW SECONDS WITH NO WARNING. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WORKED ON 5 SEPARATE TIMES, TWICE AT THE DEALERS EXPENSE AND THREE TIMES AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE CODE GIVEN FROM THE OBM IS P26B7, THAT POINTS TO A COOLANT SOLENOID C PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED THE PCM, RESET THE NEW PCM, COOLANT RESERVOIR, AND HEATER HOSE TWICE. I SMELL BURNING COOLANT WHEN EITHER THE AIR CONDITIONING OR HEATER IS ON ONCE THE ENGINE WARMS UP. THIS COOLANT ISSUE HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY 3-4 MONTHS. I HAVE ATTACHED ONE SERVICE RECORD FROM NOV 2019. THE NEWEST SERVICE RECORD IS FOR FEB 2020.
