There are many reasons why cars overheat. Coolant fans, loose wires, t-stats, water pumps or just low on fluid. Not to mention sensors. I would take to a repair shop and have then diagnose this for you if you cannot do it yourself. Most of these repairs are fairly inexpensive . Continued overheating will damage your engine beyond repair
