Overheating

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! If your 2012 Dodge Journey is still overheating after swapping out the thermostat, sensor, and radiator, it's like the mystery villain in a detective story. The next suspects? I'd look into the water pump to see if it's doing its job circulating coolant. A failing pump or even a slipping belt could be the silent culprit. Also, don’t forget the cooling fan—if it's not kicking on when the engine heats up, your radiator won’t be able to cool things down. Lastly, make sure there's no blockage in the cooling system itself. You might need to "burp" the system to ensure no air is trapped there!
