Did you check the level, it might just be a little low. Also have you ever done a coolant flush? It might be very dirty and need to be changed. Check the basics.

On my older trucks the temp gauge was not Red until after 240. Back then thermostats were 190.So 206 is high now?

I had a similar issue when I first got my jeep. My heater core blew a seal or something and was leaking coolant. I didn't realize until my light came on and my AC stopped working and smelled horrible. It was a warranty fix all the way, I'd suggest going to the dealers.

On our 2010 Liberty there was a recall to have the thermostat replaced. If I remember correctly it was because of overheating.

i have a 2008... it over heats then cools it self down... but it never really used to do this.... Hopefully i go to the beach tonight. I'm going to try my old radiator cap... maybe its a pressure issue or something stupid. if not when it goes in for an oil chance I'll have the fluids flushed and changed
