It's my understanding there may be a Technical Service Bulletin about this. I have an '05 with 30,500 miles on it that started doing this just today. Mine appears to overheat when I'm running the A/C. If I use 65/2 air conditioning (a/c off and two windows down), the temperature drops back down into the normal range. I will be taking mine into the dealership pronto.

Good luck. Hope you're enjoying that ride.

This is a problem with the computer program (my opinion), the fan turns on very late (230) to keep it cool in stop and go traffic. One solution is to have the cpu reprogramed or replace the fan with an aftermarket unit. See the web site of ssrfanatics for more info, there is a lot of info on this problem.
If the problem just started check the relays and fan for proper operation, that is also a problem.

Good Luck
