Here's the story. I bought this car about 7 months ago. It had just had a brand new radiator put in it.
Fast forward to a month and a half ago, I noticed the temperature rising so I jumped out and checked the fans and 1 of them wasn't running while I had the A/C turned on. I replaced the fan switch and it seemed to solve the issue for 3 weeks.
After 3 weeks of it cooling just fine, it gets hot again while parked. I jumped out and checked the fans again and they're both on. I chalked it up to sticky thermostat and put a new one in. It did fine for the next week and a half. I even sat in the parking lot at work yesterday with the A/C on for 30 minutes and the gauge never moved past the half mark.
Then, last night, after driving for 1.5 hours, I stopped to drop my kids off, but left the car idling and the temperature shot up again. Again, I checked the fans and they're both running.
This morning, I drove the car to work, (some highway, some city), and the car never got past the half mark.
Any ideas why the car is randomly getting hot?
