WATERPUMP!!! That is my guess. These cars seem to be notorious for it. Do you have the Duratec V-6?
Stop driving it until you get it fixed or you might mess the engine up pretty bad.

http://www.batinc.net/files/cengine.pdfBAT has one with a metal impellar (not plastic like stock) for about $67. If you can't wait for that though I think they are around $50-70 at a local parts store. I have not needed to change mine yet.

Yeah I agree with MotorCity. Don't drive it anymore. Since these newer cars have aluminum heads, you can easily warp them if you running it hot. If it's not heat and it's overheat, the waterpump is most likely your problem. You should also change the thermostat while you're at it and check your hoses waterpump belt, and your heater hoses. The waterpump is a very easy job, once you take off the plastic cover.
