    Is it feasible for you to buy a mini vci and install on an old laptop to check the codes yourself? If so, you can DIY for a lot less than taking it to the dealership for a diagnosis. But even if you go to the dealer, it's about $100 give or take a little. You can post the trouble codes on here and I'm sure that someone can help you out.

    Per your other post, do you know if your inverter is bad? Have you checked the coolant pump operation(swirling of coolant in reservoir)?
