You may be overheating. Make sure your fan is coming on when the car warms up. If the fan works, Try a new radiator cap. If the cap is good check the thermostat. If that checks out I'd have the cooling system pressure tested to check for a head gasket leak.

Ill is right - the stock radiator caps fail all the time. Replace that and it will likey solve your problem.
