Ok, so I got a '08 Caliber as my first car in March, actually the 10th of March, which was my birthday and I got into a car accident at the end of April. I'm recently a new driver. Got my DL in the beginning of January. The accident happened on the expressway. I was not at fault but I did crash in the back of another car, and that car crashed into another that was infront of him. This was of course my 1st accident driving by myself so I didn't really know much about the whole exchanging of insurance info and how my car was going to get fixed and blah, blah. Basically my front right side was damaged. It was leaking anti-freeze. So this towing company towed it. But to their place and not to the dealership. I didn't think it mattered.When I got it back it was good. They fixed it, and it looked like new. I tested everything before I left the shop too. Then 2 weeks later the inspection light came on and it was over heating and I took it to a shop and they ran a test. It read "System too Lean (Bank 1)" and "System too Rich (Bank 1)" So I called the place that fixed my vehicle and they came and took my Caliber to their shop and when I got it back it seemed everything was fixed. No inspection light showing and the nozzle for the overheating was at "C" but now, it's June and my car is still overheating and the inspection light came BACK ON. So tomorrow I'm going to take it to the dealership and see what they say. I have anti-freeze in my car so I have no clue what could be going on. Any ideas, suggestions, comments, opinions???

It sounds like not enough anti freeze is making it too the engine. The T-stat might be stuck or the the coolant sensor might be faulty. If the temp of the engine is pretty erratic these need to be checked immediately before the dealer tells you you need a new engine.
