Could be airlocked in the heater core.what you need to do is loosen off the rad cap so it will stay with the car and drive to a hill. Point it upwards and let it idle to circulate the antifreeze. You should notice that the antifreeze level has gone down. Top it up and replace rad cap. had the very same problem, answer might surprise. make sure your battery cables on the plus side are in excellent shape. replaced mine overhaeting problem gone, radiator fan (electric) was not running at full speed. secondary check that both fans are kicking in as the temp goes up. i think there was a recall on those fans.

Remove the Radiator and have it serviced if they are able to. If not you will need to replace it, would be a good time to replace the Radiator hose's as well. Hope This Helps.

Why would the radiator fan continue to run after the engine stops after the thermostat was replaced on a 2002 Nissan Altima?
Ingeneral, the fan will run only if the temperature of the radiator is above the normal range. If the fan is running, then the radiator must be over temp unless the radiator fan thermostat or it's relay is defective. If the radiator truly is over temp then you have a larger over-heating problem You state the thermostat was replaced. if you replaced the fan thermostat then either the radiator really is over temp and it is doing what it should, or there is a problem with the thermostat-fan relay or switch. If you replaced the engine thermostat that controls the flow of coolent between the engine and the radiator, then that probably wasn't your problem and you should look elsewhere for an overheating cause. I would start by determining if the engine actually is overheating or not. If it is, I would look for coolent system problems like the engine thermostat (if you didn't replace it already), water pump, leaks, scale build up in the radiator, or blockages in the system. If the engine isn't overheating then I would consentrate on the fan, fan thermostat and relays.
