Hi there,
I would first be checking that the cooling fans are coming on, and then the thermostat is ok, start there.

Does the overheat occur only when in traffic with slow speeds, or does it also overheat on the highway?
Has the temp ever been elevated without the A/C on?
Keep in mind shedding the heat the A/C system collects can overwhelm a cooling system which may be compromised, and not working to it's fullest capability. This should not be the case however at highway speeds; the ram air on the condenser and radiator should be more than enough cooling.
