Cruising this summer was fine - temp control seemed fine. NOW, I can't control the temp at all - cold to blazing hot. I get it set then notice that all is off. Set it again - hot and cold back and forth. Anyone point me in the right direction, Please?

Doubt this may help, but I was low on coolant and had those symptoms in my Ford Mustang recently . . . Good luck!
 
You can also first try turning the air all the way hot, to all the way cold several times.

Sorry that a less-costly mechanic wasn’t available to you.
 
JW were you able to resolve the problem? I have the same issue on a 2003 model and it has been to the dealership 3 times in a month with no resolution. RRM
 
Dick, I bought a controller online and it is still in the trunk. Seems the old valve is working okay now - perhaps just from disuse for a period.
Keeping fingers crossed. Cheers
 
JW, Thanks for the feedback. The cars going into the dealership for another day hopefully they can resolve the issue this time,
