My 2004 Dodge Intrepid began overheating about two weeks ago and I changed the thermostat about a week ago and the problem persists. I have had several mechanics look at it and try and work on it but they don't see the problem. There is no fluid pressure in my hoses and I have already had my car "burped" for air locks. My cooling fans kick on, my water pump is working correctly, the mechanics told me my head gaskets were fine (no white smoke coming out, no condensation or antifreeze in the oil and no leaks!) I have also purchased a new radiator cap and bleeder valve but the fluids in my overflow are still bubbling. What could possibly be the problem?

You might try removing the thermostat and test the car running without the thermostat. Otherwise, If everything is working out, I will suggest to check any of the electronic sensors, fuses. Start with the simplest things first

Hope it helps.

The thermostat on my 2004 Dodge Intrepid was changed because it was overheating on me..and it is still doing the same thing. What could it be now?
If the thermostat was changed and you seem to still be overheating - the problem most likely lies within the radiator! Small holes in the radiator can become plugged - either from OLD OLD coolant or the sometimes unfriendly "barsleak" which is used sometimes after an intake gasket replacement and/or most commonly a leaky radiator! Radiator is the only other solution
