Radiator problem?

My daughter has a 2004 Honda Civic EX and when she drives the antifreeze gets sucked out and fills the overflow up. does anyone know why this could happen?

Radiator cap may be bad.

Test the coolant for exhaust gases using the free-rental AutoZone kit (block tester).

also it could be a clog in the radiator especially if your daughter has been filling it with non oem honda fluid. oem honda fluid is designed to comply with the honda cooling system anything else can cause corrosion.
