Some Chrysler Town & Country owners report experiencing overheating issues that could lead to serious complications such as warped heads, water pump failure, and throttle body problems. Common causes of these overheating issues include coolant leaks from faulty water pumps, radiators, or hoses, as well as malfunctioning radiator fans and failed thermostats that disrupt coolant flow. Symptoms of overheating may manifest as smoke under the hood, a consistently pegged temperature gauge, or even a blown head gasket, which requires immediate attention. Owners are advised to take immediate action by stopping the vehicle when overheating occurs and to conduct regular maintenance checks, including monitoring coolant levels and inspecting the cooling system. Failure to address these issues promptly can result in severe engine damage, including warped heads and premature water pump failure.
