Its hard to say what's really wrong here I can name a few and I don't like to assume-also could be headgasket or valve seals

have the cooling system pressure checked it may be a head gasket problem . if this car was bought within the last 30 days or so if it as a dealer they should take care of the problem if not there is always the courts
