Why does my Ford Focus overheat after driving for a while?

I own a 2015 Ford Focus and recently, it has been overheating after driving for about 30 minutes. The temperature gauge starts going up and the coolant warning light comes on. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

Hi Haley, there are a few potential causes for your Ford Focus overheating issue. One reason could be a low coolant level, so make sure to check and refill the coolant if necessary.

Another possibility is a faulty thermostat, which could be causing the engine to overheat. I would recommend getting it checked and replaced if needed.
