are both your fans working? The engine cooling one, is on the drivers side, next time it rises above 1/2 way point, stop by side of road, leave car running open hood quickly and see if the fan is tuning, it will speed things up if you have taken off the front Black engine trim pieces before hand.
2nd part of the question is hard to say are you getting any error messages on the dash..
invest in some thing like bluedriver and read your codes.

Thanks for your reply jdanielca, much appreciated. I will check this out today. Just one thing I would like to add ... this problem happened when my VSC light came on, and has stayed on. I took to an auto electrician and he was the one that said that the overheating could be the problem, but wasn't sure until he takes the car for one day to check the diagnostics and wiring.

For future reference others who encounter similar issues these plastic n metal crimped radiators are all the same, there is no point splashing on Toyota it is not going to be any better if it were that top plastic tube won’t be brittle and breaking. I changed mine to KYB or Kayaba, I think rockauto has osc or something all these are ok and nicely priced. Good luck guys.
