these cars use electric fans, no fan clutch. overheating can be caused by more than 1 thing. first describe the scenario of how it overheats. at stop and go, or at highway speeds? stop and go only is cooling fan related, turn on the ac, see if that lowers temps(ac turns on the electric fans full time). if at highway speeds turn on heater, see if that helps (this will determine if radiator is clogged or thermostat is stuck open/closed.

as I'm having this issues, my research so far has shown that some of the 2003 has/had a clutch setup but the 05+ have all electric fans..

I can be wrong, it's just what i've seen people say in other posts.

fan clutch seems like such an old fashion method.

I just ran to my car and checked, all electric fans. I think my fan motors are dying.

still for over heating issues

check level of coolant

check to make sure fans are working

check/replace thermo
