Some Nissan Altima owners report experiencing persistent overheating issues even after replacing the water pump and thermostat. These problems may stem from a clogged radiator that impedes coolant circulation, resulting in inadequate cooling. Additionally, a leaking head gasket can contribute to overheating, as can a faulty radiator fan that fails to cool the engine effectively. Low coolant levels are another common issue that can lead to improper cooling, while a broken sensor may provide incorrect temperature readings, further exacerbating the overheating problem. Some owners also find that air in the cooling system disrupts the cooling process, and a worn-out thermostat can add to these overheating concerns. To mitigate these issues, it is crucial for owners to thoroughly inspect these components and maintain regular checks on coolant levels and the overall cooling system.
