Default Radiator Fan Issues

Just looking for a little help here. I have a 2012 A7 with 100k miles on it. It's been a dream to own, but last month it started overheating on the way home. I took it to a local garage here in SoCal who specializes in German cars. I ended up having my thermostat, water pump, temperature sensor and had the cars fluids flushed. The car ran great until yesterday. I was sitting in traffic and the car's AC turned hot....then, the cars temperature gauge started climbing above the halfway mark. I turned on the heat and the temperature gauge went back to normal. I decided to take the interstate home and noticed that while I was moving, the cars AC would blow cold without overheating the car. I got home and popped the hood open to find neither of the radiator fans were running. I decided to take the car for a spin this morning and noticed that while sitting in traffic...I had cold AC and it didn't overheat. I got home and popped the hood...and noticed the passenger fan was running, but driver side was not. Weird. Any help would be great. Thank you all in advance!

I have a 2012 A7 w/ 97k. I've had it do that cold-to-warm AC one time. Seemed almost like a fluke. After about ten minutes it started blowing cold again, and haven't had an issue since. (I'm in AZ so it deals with heat all the time)
