The check engine light( thermostat), speedometer, fuel gauge and now the oil pressure gauge have stopped working or work sporadically and inaccurately. These problems are listed in order of failure and they started at approximately 85,000mi and the last was at 106,000 miles. If I had known this vehicle was made by gm, I would not have bought it. It will definitely be the last gm product in my household. I have had many and all but one had numerous problems. A footnote: a part of the gearshift linkage broke at approx. 95,000mi.
