The sensor on the engine is calibrated to turn the primary fan on at something like 220 degrees. The fan comes on, the engine cools down.
Where's the problem? I think this is normal operation, especially in hot weather.

he said @ 60 deg f in 5-10 min it when into fan mode parked in the driveway after a 45 min operation. that IMO would be not acceptable.
If the air temp was 90 deg f plus then I would accept the operation he has with the fans coming on that fast.
when it is 90 F plus the fan will be on all the time in traffic and parked.
I would expect this to take 20 min parked @60 deg f for the temp to get to 225-230 f for the fan to come on...
