Not sure if the thermostat fails in the open or closed position. If they failed open, the engine would have trouble staying hot. Sometimes the belt brakes, but you would get codes because the alternator stopped turning and the steering would be heavy from the power steering pump not providing assist to the steering rack. The thermostat is an easy job on the 4 cylinder. Should take about an hour or two.
