Thermostats do fail. Radiators do get plugged up. Head gaskets can and do blow.

If it's temperamental I'd go with a new thermostat , don't go cheap buy OEM dealer part . A cheap one will produce the same results making you think it's something else .If it happens soon after start up a compression test may be in order Look for white exhaust smoke and goop under the oil fill cap
