Q: Heats up in the summer

asked by on February 25, 2017

The thermosta runs below the half mark in the winter but in the summer it goes up to the 3/4 mark. The air conditioner blows cold air. I have replaced water pump, thermostat, all hoses, and flushed the raditor.

My car has 17100 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
