Description of the problem	I was driving, about 45mph, i noticed light smoke coming from the hood. When i looked at my temperature gage it was in the middle, saud it was fine. I drove about ten more minutes since the smoke stopped. About ten minutes after i got to my destination , there was so much smoke coming out from the hood and water was everywhere. The thermostat and radiator were replaced. Everyday i drive it, there's a river of water coming from under the suv. I had it in the shop two days prior to this incident and everything tested fine. It's been a huge mess.
