We had similar problems. After second occurrence they replaced the fan and the sensor because they could not determine which was bad. No problems since.

This happened last month.

after all the testing they did on my car with the monitors hooked up, etc and overnight testing, they are telling me that the car is not physically overheating. i am thinking that it is more electrical problem, as other posters have alluded to, but when i mention that to them, they seem to not think it is....

it seems to have been a bad AUX fan or its relay. It was replaced and so far so good (nock on wood).
