Components that fail and cause overheating on 2004 jeep liberty 3.7L 4x4

How many miles on system. One item that most people never check and it has burned up too many motors to mention is the bottom radiator hose. The hose gets soft with age and it will look normal when you are looking at it, but once the engine is warm and the motor starts running at a faster speed, the volume of water moving through the system creates a suction that collapses the lower radiator hose and the engine gets hot because there is not enough circulation. If you have higher miles or years and haven't changed the upper and lower radiator hose, do so any way.

My 94 dodge spirit is overheating after only about driving 2 miles and there is coolant in radiator and reserve tank.. reserve tank fluid is hot and bubbling.. radiator fan may not be working

Does the temp gauge show overheat? If not, then you're not overheating. Possible you have a head gasket problem,which lets combustion gas into the water and can look like boilover.

the problem sounds more like the radatior they tend to start leaking but you don't see apuddle on the ground. Its a fine mist and you loose pressure .

98 subaru, overheating

most likely not. it's most likely the thermostat, it holds the coolant in the engine block to warm it up, then opens to keep the engine at a general temperature range. It goes bad and stays closed, hence the overheating
