Sorry but this vehicle has a lot of complaints and issues. Coolant leaks are a well known and popular problem. A class action law suit was filed in the state of New York because of the car's issues. You or a shop will need to run diagnostics to check the motor,hoses, coolant sensor and heater core for leaks. I recommend getting this fixed asap. Customer complaints report toxic fumes entering cabin giving occupants migraine headaches. Any questions please feel free to write back.

My experience has been causes for over heating was.
leak and low coolant, fan not running if you have 2 fans one come on when A/C is turned on the other comes on when engine reaches operating temp. I have had thermostat stuck closed, radiator cap not sealing, fan fuse or relay, temp sensor not working temp sensor could keep your fan from coming on, I have also had to change a couple radiator but it was due to leak. I have heard of some where radiator was blocked up, I think those were issues of stop leak was used for many years.

Scanning/Retrieving codes gives an Automotive Technician basic info......Usually with multiple possible scenarios for the cause of said code(s).Throwing parts at an improperly diagnoised vehicle is what you are now facing....Time for a pro.
