2001 impala overheaing probelm

I have a 2001 impala that has been getting hot. This only happens with the a/c running while in traffic. Once out on the highway, with the a/c on...i have no problems. This has problem has worsened as the summer months get warmer. What is the problem??
thanks for the help!

have u checked ur cooling fans? one or both could be out, either that or the temp sensor that turns them on could be going bad...

the drivers side fan is out. how do i replace? does both fans come out as an assembly or can i just replace the one? what is the cost of the fan or fans if i cant buy just one?
thanks

You might ought to check your antifreeze. If the radiator is full of sludge, that is a contributing factor.

hmm....i am pretty sure it's a fan assembly, w/ both fans on it...u'd have to get w/ a parts supplier to get the needed parts...i'm not sure of what the price will be, but the install is NOT hard.

I've had cars before that would start to run hotter then normal as the coolant got old. As soon as I changed the coolant everything was back to normal.

I went through the same bullshit pass side fan out .Got fan assembly from junk yard lasted 3 moths then same prob.I bought a new fan assembly on line $185 as you have to change both u cant do just one.Its been fine since.Check fuses each fan has its own fuse right fan and left fan.
