The thermostat is at the back near the transmission,just to let you know the water pump you have may be the one that has the plastic propellor they known to always fail.
I would start at thermostat. It could be it is sticking and taking a long time to open. If it isn't a bad stat then I'd say there is a good chance it could be a head issue. either the gasket or the head itself. Have you overheated it lately? Also make sure your cooling fan is running after thermostat opens up. If you want to check the heads have a compression test done to make sure. Hope this helps.
The G 5 has electric power steering, there is no power steering fluid. Try getting your strut bearings replaced, they may be sized, making it hard to turn the wheel.
The initial problem points to the radiator fan(s) not running at any road speed. Check the fan(s) for noise-free turning by hand. Check fan fuse and relay (swap with similar relay). Turn on the air conditioner which should immediately turn on the fan(s). Overheating while driving could very well be the thermostat--you will need to drain the cooling system before replacing the unit. Blow out the radiator core with compressed air from the engine side to remove bugs and other debris first. Hope this helps!
you can have two things wrong with your car 1 a/c control head is bad. 2. temp blend door actuator is bad. change actuator first. make sure you install it before you plug the connector.
