po126 engine code came up...insufficient coolant temperature for stable operation. Mazda shop said i need to change my coolant thermostat. They charge $100 bucks for the part, but you can find it for less than $50 at online stores.

Car overheating. Check engine light on. Car doesnt overheat if interior vents are open at full blast. Called Mazda to find out if they plan on fixing this situation and they said "we cant help you car is out of warrenty". Too many people are having this same problem this is a manufacture problem please call Mazda and report it so they are aware. Mazda # 1800 222 5500. Even if you fixed problem call please.

Check Engine light came on- code 126 a guy at pep boys recommended having the coolant thermostat replaced- payed $200 for parts + labor. the check engine light is off now so I guess problem solved?
