John, it sounds like you may have a problem with your radiator or cooling fan. The best thing to do is take your Ford Focus to a trusted mechanic and have them run a diagnostic to determine the exact issue. It's important to address this issue as soon as possible to avoid any potential engine damage.

Hey John, another potential issue could be a faulty thermostat. This can cause your engine to overheat if it's not opening and closing properly. It's a relatively easy fix and it's worth checking out before you take your car to a mechanic.

Hi John, have you noticed any unusual smells or noises coming from your car while it's overheating? It could be a sign of a failing water pump, which is responsible for circulating coolant through the engine. I highly recommend taking your Ford Focus to a mechanic to get this checked out before it causes more serious damage.
