While there are a variety of reasons your Hyundai Tucson is overheating, the most common 3 are a coolant leak (water pump, radiator, hose etc.), the radiator fan, or a failed thermostat.
Over heating the engine is a serious concern. With the hood raised you should hear the motorized fan turn on just behind the radiator as the engine requires additional cooling.. If you look in from the rear of the radiator you should see the fan blades.
This electric powered motor operates on a thermostat and when the engine temperature rises this fan should come on. I'm assuming from your description that when driving and air is flowing through the radiator as the car travels the engine is nor overheating.
Check fan motor thermostat, check fan motor and check wiring.
Save yourself money. take to mechanic and say that is overheating. Do not suggest repair. You will have the preforming unnecessary work. In my home remodel business, whenever customers wanted to tell how to do it and micro manage it cost them extra for doing work that did not have to be done or not related to project.
I had a similar problem with an Olds Intrigue. It turned out to be the aftermarket ( NAPA ) thermostat. I bought a thermostat from GM the problem went away. I typed my problem into google and found where GM had sent out a service bulletin on the problem and had come up with an "enhanced designed thermostat". I hope this helps, good luck.
It sounds like they didn't get the cooling system filled completely, there's an air bubble. I had a problem with a 2000 Oldsmobile overheating, it turned out to be the aftermarket thermostat. I bought a stat from GM the problem went away.
try checking the hoses for blockage,and if not that make sure the fan is working right as it might be the fan cluch,or your water pump may have went out,best of luck
