Commonly, it gets stuck in open position, leading to an engine staying too cold during winter months or requiring too much time to become warm. I've never heard of a thermostat suddenly closing during driving and staying there... but I've had the same symptom as you describe it once in winter, when I had too less G12+ in the cooling circuit, resulting in a frozen radiator. This in turn resulted in >110°C and, consequently, in a blow off of the overload pressure. All this still sounds more like a clogged radiator to me, but give the thermostat a try.
