A tad more info is needed on your problem. Are you in the Southern USA? Watch your temperature gauge, it is staying at normal, is it slow to rise from a cold start? Is the engine fan on when the AC is on?

It sounds like the engine is over heating at slow speeds. Are you using premium gasoline or 87 octane? When was your thermostat last replaced? How about the antifreeze? If the fan is not running at idle with the AC on and the engine warm, I suggest verifying that the engine fan relay be tested.
