The wifey only drove the car once (from dealer to home) otherwise I was driving or with her. The temp never maxed out, we always turned the AC off, pumped the heater and dropped the windows and it cooled down pretty quickly then.

The dealer is going to pull the head, check the gasket, check for warpage etc.. this week. We have a 48 month lease, 12 months at the end will be out of warranty, but if it is related to the initial problem you better believe they will be taking care of it at no charge. So worst case is we give it back after the warranty.

I'm not fuming about this, it is just frustrating. First my wife gets rear ended hard and is injured, so then we have to deal with doctors, physical therapy, getting prescriptions, dealing with health insurance, dealing with car insurance, getting car estimated and totalled, waiting on a check etc. Basically a ton of hassles. The light at the end of the tunnel is that she gets a new car (old car was a 97 Civic ex). Now it is just more hassles because the new car is having issues. I'm sure you guys/gals can feel my pain here. I'm just ready for life to get back to normal.
