Hello,

In the diagrams down below I have included a factory diagnostic troubleshooting guide for your vehicle to track down the culprit for it's overheating problem. Your vehicle doesn't have that many miles on it, you might be able to have it looked at by the dealership under warranty. A lot of vehicles are covered by a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. I don't know what your vehicle's warranty is, but you might want to look into it. Anyway, please get back to us with what you decide to do and what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
