Do t know if this is the right place for my post but, here it goes.
I have an 18 EXL 2.0, currently 37k miles.I've had it a little over a year. I love it, bought it mainly for commuting to work. Modifications, not many, tail lights and sound system. Sound system uses alot of power but I have an AGM up front and 2 lithiums in the back, stock alternator and hardly any voltage drop. Just wanted to put that out there if any one wants to blame the sound system for the issue. Link to sound system if your Interested ⬇.

Now thats out of the way I'll get to it. Almost over heating has happened 3 times in the last year all 3 times were in blazing heat above 100 and going uphill. First time was in palm springs going up to the Arial Tramway. On the way up a hill right before I got there my Ac shut off and car started to almost over heat I was maybe 2 bars away from the top of the temp gauge. I got there did what we went there for and when we left it was back to normal. Took it to the dealer when we got back home. They couldn't find anything wrong sent me on my way with an update. Second time we were on our way to Vagas from Los Angeles a couple weeks ago, no issues the whole way there until that last hill before you reach vagas. Then again Ac shuts off then temp gauge climbed a little bit may at the 6th bar. Then the Ac turned back on and temp stayed at the 5th bar the rest of the way. I thought maybe I was over working the car 3 hours into the drive over 80 most if the way. Then again on the way home but this time in the beginning of the trip on the same hill as before. Ac shuts off the temp starts to climb. The Ac turns back on then temp comes down. It never fully overheated but it's scary when you away from home and your car starts having issues. Especially when you have kids in the back seats. If I take it to the dealer they will send me away again. I'll mention it when I take it in for my next oil change. Has anyone ever had that problem on desert road trips. Any help will be extremely appreciated. I've had similar situations in the past with other cars but they had high mileage and eventually the cooling fan dies. Sorry for the long first post thanx if you have some input.
