Yeah, they can fail in such a manner. It'd seem you have some sort of blockage. When you start the car, does the hose get warm once the engine says it is warm, or does that hose take a while to warm? When the thermostat opens, that hose will heat quite quickly. Much easier to diagnose that way vs opening it up.
