I just had a tune-up last week, they replaced EVERYTHING and topped of all of the fluids. Now, my coolant in boiling and the car is on the verge of overheating (I have turned it off before it came to this). What might be wrong?

Thanks

WELCOME TO THE SITE

I moved your post to the Stratus section, so hopefully, the right person will jump in with an idea

when you say, they replaced everything

did they also replace the Thermostat ? If so I wonder if its in wrong or stuck open

could even be something as easy as a bad radiator cap ...

I have a 2000 v6 es as well.
I have overheating, and a boiling/gurgling in the coolant overflow.
Thermostat was changed, fluid needs to be added every once and a while still.
I assume the worst, but have read there is a TSB for something very similar in the 2001 model.

Any takers?
