My car is screwed up.
It has an overheating issue but it doesn't show it as an issue. The radiator fan wont turn on unless my AC or heater is on. No check engine light or anything. After a long diagnosis at a dealership, they've concluded that the computer in the car itself is failing and needs to be replaced. Never had that happen to a car before. Its a hefty bill to get that swapped out. I could go cheap and buy a used part off ebay for $30-100 but I don't see the point when theres no way to test the damn things accurately considering mine is reading as functioning normally. wtf. 
Instead of trading in the car, I'll foot the $1k bill next week when the get the part in. I really don't want another car payment at this point.

Damn that sucks man but I feel ya. My car threw a check engine light on Wednesday, sadly I haven't had time to get it in and checked out (50 hour work weeks is really killing my ability to just get basic maintenance on my car done). A friend at work is going to bring his scanner in on Monday so we can check to see what the code is and hope it's not going to be a costly fix (funny thing is car is running fine so I'm thinking its a minor issue but with my luck with cars it's going to be an extremely costly fix).

You should try Firestone instead of the dealership. I had a similar issue but it was the cpu for my abs that went out. Firestone got a used part from a scrap yard for me and saved me $900. The Dealership is always a ripoff, I never take my vehicle there unless my car was under warranty.
