If it has a radiator cap, remove it and start the engine and let it warm up. Squeeze the upper radiator hose tightly and release several times. If the antifreeze level raises and the drops lower than before squeezing the hose, you have air in the system. Keep squeezing and releasing until the level returns to the same level every time. Keep topping off the antifreeze as you go to prevent another air pocket. Replace the radiator cap and see if that fixes your problem.

Is it over heating?
Could be the blend motor/control regulating the heat inside.

I had this exact thing happen a month ago! As was mentioned remove the coolant cap and let it run to operating temp. Squeeze the hoses while it's running and it'll burp the air out of it.
