Why is it too hot in car radiator?
The most common reason for overheating of a car radiator is that there is not enough water in the radiator. Radiators can lose water in a variety of ways, and often need to be refilled. The other possibility is that the water is not being circulated properly. I should add that cars do heat up quite a bit in the sunlight on a hot day, which adds significantly to the chances of overheating the radiator.
Why will hot water leak more rapidly than cold water through small leaks in a car radiator?

I have a 97 Dodge Stratus If your car ran hot after about two hours but did not read hot could it be the thermostat?
You say it's running hot, so i am assuming you have hot water in the radiator. If the thermostat was not opening, there would be no hot water in the radiator. Since the temperature sensor is on the engine, it reads the temp of the water in the engine. (Not in the radiator). The fact you have over heating tells me the water is getting hot but the sensor is not reflecting that. I would say it's either the sensor, or the gauge.
