Asked by Hotrodv8 Mar 03, 2015 at 01:13 PM about the 2008 Ford Fusion SE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When the car first starts up its fine, I let idle for 30 to 45 minutes and its fine. As soon as I start driving it around or up to speed of 55 to 70 miles an hour it over heats.

It could be your radiator or you might not have enough coolant. Check your coolant levels first if it's not enough keep adding until it's full. than check to make sure its not leaking under the car. Hope this helps

Did check coolant and its fine. I took it to the Ford dealer and they don't know whats wrong with it? At speeds between 50 and 70 miles per hour it over heats, unless you turn the heater on and its fine??????

Hum, I just picked up my car and the Ford Dealer kept it all day, and did not find out whats wrong with my over heating problem???!!!!!! Anyone have any ideas?
