My car started to overheat today while city driving. It runs and maintains temp fine while on the highway. What could be the problem and what should I do to fix it. The overflow cylinder had plenty of coolent and I noticed the radiator fan did not come on. Could that be the problem or should I just get a new thermastat

If the engine runs cool at highway speed and overheats in city driving, the most common cause is the radiator fan. Does the vehicle have electric fans or a fan clutch bolted to the water pump?

Let me know.
