Not sure what you need. "If it has an overheating problem." Not a complete thought. Can you explain?

Okay. Several things can cause an overheating problem. My biggest concern is that there is a head gasket issue. Tell me, how many miles are on the vehicle. Also, I need to know if the engine overheats at highway speeds or only stop and go driving (in traffic). Also, has anything been done to fix the issue? If so what was done?

Keep in mind, it could be that the cooling fans are not turning on (bad fan motor, possible relay, coolant temp sensor issue, wiring.) It could just need the thermostat replaced, the radiator may be plugged, or a more serious issue that would require major engine repair.

Let me know as much as you can tell me about the problem.
