When the ac kicks off see if the ac condensor fan is on and blowing out alot of air.Also check the radiator and condensor for debris in the fins like sand etc.

So sorry some how i didnt get a email alert saying you posted a response.Possibly your friends car gauge isnt reading correctly or she has a bad radiator cap not holding pressure.Does her radiator fan work?
