Yes a bad thermostat would cause overheating in any car. A thermostat regulates the temperature.
my car isn't steaming only in drive but not overheating.
I dont understand, is your car overheating or do you think your switch is overheating? Switches do not overheat, if they become hot to the touch there is a grounding problem which would have most likely blown a fuse at some point.
i would say it will be overheating, check coolant level
because the car thinks it overheating so it shuts down to prevent damage to the motor
In order to stop the car from overheating, your going to have to find the underlying cause. If you do not have expertise in this area, you will have to find someone who does. Maybe a friend or a mechanic. I would recommend you do this immediately. Extreme overheating can damage the engine.
No coolant Thermostat not opening Defective temperature sensor
Your car is overheating when idle because there may be a lack of oil or water in the engine. It can also be a problem with the engine itself. If your car is overheating, simply contact a wrecker or a road assistance company. The police are also available to assist you.
antifreeze keeps your car from overheating, it flows thru your radiator hose, without it your motor would blow
You should not buy a car with overheating problems. This means that it will not serve the purpose and will develop other mechanical problems.
Would need to know if car was overheating before waterpump and thermostat was replaced.
