What are the 2002 chevy malibu overheating problems?

The 2002 Chevrolet Malibu has no issues with overheating that You wouldn't encounter in many other vehicles -- that is to say that it's not particularly susceptible to any one problem that would cause overheating. However, that doesn't mean You're invincible from issues that plague all of us. First and foremost, You're much more likely to overheat if You're running low on coolant. This can be caused by general attrition, or it may be caused by a leak somewhere in Your system. Be vigilant for puddles under Your Malibu, since that's a telltale sign of leaks. Another potential issue is a failed radiator fan relay or radiator fan; even if You're sufficient on coolant, You can still overheat at a standstill if there's insufficient airflow, which this issue will cause.
