engine overheating notification

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! If your Dart is showing an overheating warning but the temperature gauge is pointing to "C," it sounds like your thermostat might be stuck open or there's an issue with the engine's temperature sensor. A stuck thermostat would keep coolant flowing constantly, making the engine think it’s cold while still overheating. The check engine light could be related to a faulty sensor or another cooling system issue. I’d recommend getting it checked out quickly—especially since you got the overheating message, which could signal bigger problems down the road.
