check all of your hoses. If it over-heated on you once, you might have to bleed the system.

Make sure the engine is actually running hot by directing a non contact infrared thermometer gun at the thermostat housing. Then replace the radiator if it's really overheating for continuous driving on the highway and you run out of solutions.

NEVER replace any part till you know the problem. What a waste of time and money. Never go to a dealer, they rip you worse than the little guy. Take your car to a RADIATOR SHOP, not an auto repair, And get the radiator cleaned.

A Faulty manufacture in a very special manner just to your unit of Ford only. Direct intervention with the company management would be the best idea to get the maximum support for this matter !

Your cooling system might need to be bled. Another possible cause is the coolant temp sensor (which controls the electric radiator fans) needs replacing.

check ALL of your fluids, especially the transmission fluid. It could be the engine though. Also, check the radiator. It could be low on fluid too.

ideally, midrange, but there's some variation between senders.
