AC keeps getting hot and causes my 2017 Jeep Patriot to over heat

Asked by PatriotX17 Sep 29, 2018 at 09:04 AM about the 2017 Jeep Patriot North Edition 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have manual fracturing warranty on my
jeep still and already took my jeep to get the
thermostat replaced because my jeep was
over heating and the jeep was working fine
again. The mechanic told me that everything
was double checked and that everything
was good as new, but then 2 weeks later my
jeep is starting to over heat again. What do
you think it can be thats causing this?

Be sure the radiator cooling fans are coming on with the A/C turned on. Sometimes it will fool you. Everything is okay going 65mph (lots of wind coming through the front) but in slow traffic those fans are the only thing keeping engine and A/C cool. Try to observe when it over heats and when it doesn't. This will help mechanic diagnose problem.
