hey i live in gilbert too
and sounds like something failed in the coolant system.
either a temp sensor not allowing the fans to come on or a massive air bubble... or a clog....
so a full coolant system flush and then go from there and see what happens
watch it over the next few days following it up tho

That's what the reservoir is for :0
Make sure your fan is engaging when the vehicle reaches operating temperature. Probably have two so make sure the one that isn't engaged by AC comes on at operating temp
