Default #2 car for reliability and towed to dealer in first month! Overheating?

Car showing it was overheating...warnings, gauges etc. But didn't seem hot at all. Anyone else experience this? Towed to dealer today......ugh.

There are several reporting need to change out thermostat. Another AW member was also towed into dealer. several CPO rigs I have looked at swapped out thermo as well. Good news it appears to be the easy fix.

Same thing happened to me. Towed to dealer and thermostat and water pump were replaced. No issues since.

turned out to be a sticking tstat. Took dealership 7 days to fix....LOL. 15 minute job that shoulda been done last Friday afternoon when they received it at 3 pm. Instead we had no car the entire 7 days because they had no loaners and obviously no desire to fix a cheap $30 warranty item. I thought Jeep dealers were bad.....ugh

You meant warranty, not Audi Care, right? AC is for prepaid scheduled maintenance and the manf. warranty would cover a defect.
