NHTSA Complaint #10093190 — 1998 DODGE CARAVAN

THE ENGINE APPEARED TO CONTINUE RUNNING ONE DAY AFTER A SHORT RUN TO THE GROCERY STORE. I WENT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS MY RADIATOR FAN. FURTHER, HE FOUND THE ITEM WAS A RECALL PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED I TAKE THE VAN TO THE DEALER. I DID THE FOLLOWING DAY, THEY RESEARCHED AND STATED IT WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM ALTHOUGH MY MECHANIC HAD GIVEN ME THE MEMO INDICATING IT WAS ON RECALL. IN ORDER TO AVOID HURTING THE ENGINE, I AUTHORIZED THE DEALER TO MAKE THE REPAIR WITH PLANS TO FILE A COMPLAINT FOR REIMBURSEMENT AT A LATER DATE.*AK
