There are few reasons why a car overheats. Coolant levels are to be assumed as in the correct levels. If that is the case, you have a flow issue or a heat removal issue. If the pump is running (rarely the issue) then the flow issue could be from your thermostat sticking (a normal failure mode). The second possible issue could be that the radiator itself is plugged and unable to remove the heat. This shows up as a slow steady heating of the system and could take many miles to overheat.
