QUESTION:

We have a 2005 Chevy Impala that is overheating. It happens after the car slows to a near stop or a full stop. Driving on the highway or city streets does not cause the overheating until the cars stops moving. There are no apparent leaks and the system is full of coolant. What can be causing this issue? 

ANSWER:

This is typically caused by a non-functioning fan. As long as air is moving across the radiator it does not get hot, but when you stop moving there is no air moving across the radiator. So, either the fan itself or the fan relay is probably the reason the fan is not working.
