Check that the Radiator fan is coming on. When at a stop and it is hot just turn on your ac if it starts to cool down then the Radiator fan circuit is bad, either fuse, relay, temp sensor or the wiring.

my mom's car did the exact same thing, she had a 2000 impala and it had a coolant leak and the car would heat up when idleing

I'm having the exact same problem with my 2001 as well. Did you figure out what was wrong? I've had my cooling fan replaced first and it still had the same problem so we thought it was the thermostat but the mechanic said it was in perfect condition 🤔
