Problem overview

Some Dodge Charger owners report experiencing overheating issues even after replacing the thermostat, which may be due to the use of a low-quality part or improper installation. Additionally, other common causes of overheating include coolant leaks, low coolant levels, a faulty radiator fan, a clogged radiator, or a broken water pump. Since the thermostat is essential for regulating engine temperature by controlling coolant flow, it is recommended that owners have it checked for proper functionality after replacement. Furthermore, investigating other potential causes, such as coolant leaks or radiator problems, is crucial to prevent further engine damage. If overheating persists, seeking assistance from a mechanic or automotive specialist is advised for a thorough diagnosis and effective solutions to ensure optimal performance.
