Why is my Chrysler Voyager overheating?

Overheating in the Chrysler Voyager can result from a faulty thermostat, low coolant levels, a malfunctioning water pump, or a clogged radiator. Check the coolant level first and inspect for leaks. Test the thermostat by placing it in hot water to see if it opens. If the water pump is failing, you may hear a whining noise or notice coolant leaks near the pump. Flush the radiator if it appears clogged.
