Why is my Dodge Intrepid overheating?

While there are a variety of reasons your Dodge Intrepid is overheating, the most common 3 are a coolant leak (water pump, radiator, hose etc.), the radiator fan, or a failed thermostat.

Can airlock cause overheating?

Airlock – Following a coolant leak, more air will build up inside of the cooling system than coolant fluid. This gel will create a blockage from allowing the coolant to circulate in and out of the engine. As a result, the engine will begin to overheat because it is not getting any new fresh coolant inside of itself.

What happens if there is air in the coolant system?

If you have an air pocket or “bubble” trapped within your cooling system, the coolant will not be able to reach and cool that section. You may exceed safe operating temperatures and cause a blown head gasket, warped head, damaged valves or pistons, a cracked engine block, a blown radiator or bursting hoses.

What causes coolant to overheat?
