wtf....06 ap2 drivimg in traffic and with ac on ..100degrees outside..and temp starts to move up a notch then a few secs later a notch after half of gauge then a sec later two notches after half gauge...then start to speed up more then it goes down a little...i have forty k miles...the fans and thermostat should regulate the temp to "not" fluctuate the temp like this....what can be the problem
any other 06+ have had any problems like this?

Make sure the both fans are working.

they were...i park the car ....left it running....and then i heard the fans kick in.....then tested the ac fan and that worked too......this is the first time it has happened.....you think it can be a bad themostat?? already only with 40k miles??

have you checked the fluid level in both the expansion tank AND the rad itself (sorry if thats an obvious one but sometimes its easy to miss the obvious ones and focus on expensive ones)

yeah it was full (maxline).....its not known for any head gasket leaks? or sticky thermo? fan relay? its just so new (40k miles) and stock for this thing to happen.....

my car was doing this. i went to replace the thermostat and there wasnt one there. check to see if you have air in your cooling system also
