My aunt has a 02 Stratus with the 2.7. She said she was driving it one day and heard "DING". She looked on the dash to see she was severely overheating. She pulled over and heard a hissing, well come to find out, the little box (on the left side of the plenum) with the coolant hoses and temp sensor going into it split at the seam. Well, the problem is we replaced it, and drove it. "DING", and it was overheating, I opened the hood to find this one also split. Is this a possibility of a stuck thermostat? The gauge will slowly go up, then fly up to H. and overheat in no time. Anybody know what this could be and how hard would it be to replace the thermostat? It looks to be in a odd place. [:@]
