My 2004 Jeep Cheokee loredo is running hot. Could

2004? Check the coolant, water pump, thermostat, plug up the radiator.

it sounds like the problem is with your fan not running. I would try and see if you have power at the fan and test the fan to see if it isn't bad.

Only overheating at idle while standing still is most probably a cooling fan problem. If you have the electrical cooling fan, then first check its fuse. If ok, than there are two separate relays (high speed and low speed) in the power distribution center under the hood. (this is for 2004 model only). Swap both relays, it can be that the low speed relay is bad. If this helped, than you will have to replace the bad relay. If this didn´t help, then put 12V directly on the fan motor (watch hands and loose clothing) to be sure the motor is not bad.

did you check the fan & see if it is coming on when it is supposed to,(only if it is an electric fan)

did replace the rotors when you did the front brakes? if not, could be ridges in rotors and new pads are not seating flat

You may need a GOOD new thermostat. I had the same problem twice on my first generation Dakota. The problem for me turned out to be the DODGE thermostat I used to replace the old Dodge part. I went and got a Stant brand from local auto parts store using the standard temperature spec and quit shivering the next time I drove it. I don't know if your engine is a Dodge or Chrysler engine, but it sounds like the same thing.

You may have picked up signs of a failing thermostat.

check to see if cooling fan is coming on
