Some Ford Taurus X owners report experiencing overheating issues even after installing a new thermostat, which may be attributed to several factors. Common causes include insufficient coolant levels, coolant leaks from hoses or the radiator, a malfunctioning thermostat, a clogged radiator, faulty cooling fans, or a defective water pump. Additionally, some owners find that continued overheating can stem from a clogged radiator, a leaking head gasket, a faulty radiator fan, insufficient coolant, a broken sensor, air in the cooling system, or a worn-out thermostat. Furthermore, some owners also report that the airbag light remains on, which may indicate a separate issue with the airbag system, such as a faulty sensor or wiring problem, necessitating inspection by a qualified mechanic for proper diagnosis and resolution.
