Your water pump might giving out the will cause an overheat and your power steering to give out, the water pump is and cheap and easy fix cost about 80.00 all together with the coolant you can do it anywhere as long you got tools to do it

Check the cooling fan relay. Have a guy(or girl) at an auto part store (AutoZone, etc..) hook up a diagnostic code reader to the hookup uner the steering column dash. I replaced mine, but it was timely and alittle tricky. If you have some tech ability, you can do it, but if not, it will probably be about $350.
If you let the jeep run with the a/c on, look at the cooling fan and see if it cycles on after a few minutes. If it doesnt, it could be the relay, if it does come on, then it could be a condensor prob.

Need cooling system diagram for 2010 jeep liberty 3.7 v6

It is electric.It is mounted in the center on top off the air plenum. You have to remove the dash to get to it. Last one I did was the heater core. 2003, had to remove the dash out of the vehicle, drop the steering column and remove the air plenum. All day job. You need a manual, lots of nuts, bolts, and screws to remove.

2005 Jeep Liberty 3.7L overheating

it's overheating, for sure,
is coolant levels dropping? cold checked at rad cap?
"pulled over and found a hose to cool the radiator and hose near the thermostat,"
i can not understand this statement"above"
if it overheat only parked, check fan for full ops.
if overheats moving too, wont stay cool moving fast
then:
bad rad cap
bad thermostat , they have 7 year life says STANT. (and why)
belts slipping (to water pump)
rad cores blocked (IR thermo gun it) ask
water pump impellers rust 1/2 gone?

all this assumes no coolant loss, if you have loss, tell where.,
where it leans
ground
passengers toes (foot well)
engine oil pan? milky oil
if A/T TRANS, check it for milky too.

2003 Jeep Liberty leaking pale yellow fluid from very front of car-at first I thought it was water-haven't been running AC

sounds like coolant and that vehicle overheated or now has a leak ---and replacing plugs usually doesnt correct an overheating problem and if told had bad thermostat [ which will cause overheating ] i would have system tested for leaks then look into thermostat as a problem to your overheating problem
