Hi there,
my 2014 Jeep Patriot has suddenly begun overheating. It began around a week ago, I was driving on the highway and the acceleration suddenly dropped for a brief second. Over the week it continued doing so randomly. The over-hating symbol also appeared and the car started to overheat after only minutes of driving it. I checked the coolant levels the other day and noticed that the cap was steaming and there was clear signs of coolant sprayed through the engine area. I also saw bubbling from the seal of the air intake pipe below the radiator cap (I assume that's what the pipe is. See photo).
The car is a 2014 Jeep Patriot Limited, automatic, 2.4L unleaded with 150,000+ k's on the odometer. I've just had the spark plugs and coils replaced a few weeks ago and also the starter motor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
