Like others have said its just trying to keep the engine at optimal temps. If youre just parked and idling there is no air passing through the rad so the fan has to come on.

These cars are known for having fan controller issues too. As long as the fans are running, while it may be annoying, longer or more frequent operation of the fans will not hurt the car in any way since (when operating properly) they come on to help the car anyway, so at least you know the car is safe. It's when the fans won't come on at all is when you have to begin to worry.
ILoveAWD, you may have a concern that needs to be addressed as well. Do you have A/C in your car?

One of your fans is related to cooling and is triggered by engine coolant temp and works in combination with thermostat function and flow through the radiator in order to keep the engine cool.
The other fan is directly related to A/C and works when the compressor is engaged. If you have the car running and turn the A/C on and off a couple times, with a few second interval in-between switching, you will hear the compressor engage and disengage, the rpms will rise and fall, and the condenser fan will cycle on and off depending on A/C switch position.

Does your fan run in during cold start as well? If so its ur fan control unit.
Had the same issue fan ran like crazy on and off also when the car was off it would run for another 2-3 sec and then switch off.
