My car is a 2002 Arc, so it may not fully apply.
I just haven't had the money to get it fixed. The thermostat and coolant sensor are buried on the V6 and it requires a lot of labor time to replace, even if parts are relatively cheap.
In summer it's works fine. The CEL disappears, thermostat runs normally.
During winter, the CEL comes on and the temperature gauge is confused. However heat works perfectly.
I believe I read that the only(?) problem is that the car might run rich because it doesn't know the engine temperature, and that burns up fuel a bit quicker than normal.
