Possible, but rare. The coolant may be circulating too fast to have time to dissipate heat when going through the radiator.

Would a bad thermostat cause overheating in 1997 ford probe?
Yes a bad thermostat would cause overheating in any car. A thermostat regulates the temperature.
Can the thermostat on my 1995 cutlass supreme be the reason my car is overheating without any engine or radiator leaks?
A thermostat that is stuck in the closed position is a very common cause of overheating. A new thermostat should be installed every time the coolant is changed.
Would a fauly thermostat cause coolant loss?
Yes it can. A faulty thermostat can cause overheating which will cause coolant to be pushed out of the system.
What is the cause of overheating in IVECO 330-30 truck and what can be done?
A likely cause for the overheating is the thermostat is stuck. The best option when this occurs is to buy a new thermostat and replace the old one.
Why is your Jeep Wrangler overheating?
There are many reasons why a Jeep Wrangler is overheating. A leak in the radiator system will cause overheating. Too much pressure in the engine can cause overheating. A bad water pump or thermostat could cause overheating. The transmission can also cause overheating if it is leaking.
Why the electrical thermostat of a electrical heater can be damaged?
By overheating which will cause a change in the thermostat materials construction.
Can a thermostat cause overheating in a motor vehicle in tropical climates?
Yes
Why is a 1985 crx dx overheating?
An engine can overheat from several reasons. A faulty thermostat is the most common cause, provided that there is nothing else wrong. A plugged radiator or a faulty water pump can also cause the problem. Once an engine has overheated the head will often warp causing the coolant to "blow out" of the cooling system and making it impossible to keep running without overheating. Damaged hoses or other leaks can cause overheating as well.
Nissan Frontier overheating?
A Nissan Frontier may be overheating because the radiator is cracked. A thermostat failure can also cause it to overheat.
What could cause overheating in a Nissan Frontier when the air conditioning is turned on?
A bad thermostat can cause overheating in a Nissan Frontier when the air conditioning is turned on. A bad compressor can also cause this.
What happens if you do not use a thermostat?
Running a vehicle without a thermostat will cause it to take longer to warm up and your interior heater may not blow hot air.
Can running without a thermostat cause overheating I was told that if the water circulates too fast it will not cool properly Is this possible and how?
Running your engine without a thermostat will cause it to run hot. An engine will run cooler initially without a thermostat. After that IT WILL NOT! Why you ask? Again, physics. An engine running without the restriction of the thermostat in the system (remember, even when it's wide open there's still some restriction in the system caused by the thermostat's small opening) will not keep the coolant in the radiator long enough for the radiator to 'radiate' the heat. That is, the coolant must stay in the radiator for a certain amount of time to dissipate some of the heat it has absorbed from being in the engine block. The coolant is in the block. It's hot. It moves to the radiator and gets rid of some of the heat. If it moves through the radiator too FAST, without the restriction of the thermostat body, it won't get rid of as much heat. Basic Thermodynamics at play.
