I have noticed in the last few weeks there have been a couple times while sitting in traffic idling at stop lights for long periods after my drive home of 15 minutes the temperature gauge starts to rise to mid-range. Should I be concerned? Is this normal? It does start to cool down after I start to drive and never reaches into the red, but I am concerned. Is this a warning something could be going wrong?

That is normal range for that yr and model if the car boils over then I would worry because u only have one sensor to read the temp on the gauge and to the computer I'd it hoes bad u would never know that the car was overheating. Hope this helps also donations and feedback greatly appreachiated.
