If you are getting a temp alert -- do not drive the car until you find the problem. Is the temp gauge going into the red? The gauge had a dead zone where it sits in the normal range for an extended temp range -- its not linear with actual engine temp. It's overheating if going above -- find the cause before damage is done.
If you are getting a coolant level warning === check coolant. The level needs to be very high in the tank .. if not any sloshing around can set off the warning. The float can also get soggy and sink a bit ... a new one will fix.

We still need to know what is really going on. Trouble with English language: need to be specific. Is it overheating, or telling you you need to add fluid? If either of these, the advice above will help you solve the problem. But, you might also have a bad temperature sensor (it is located in the crossover pipe in front of the engine). A good OBD II reader can answer some of these questions.

I agree, however more often than not, the float is primarily the culprit even after knocking the tank with the side of a fist a few times to dislodge the float. Expansion tanks aren't too expensive and unless it was replaced within the last two years, it's totally justifiable to replace the whole assembly since its its under a lot of heat, and pressure.
