Consumer Description

I FOLLOW ALL THE RECOMMENDED SCHEDULES OF MAINTENANCE BY THE MANUFACTURER AND KEEP OUR JEEP IS GOOD WORKING ORDER. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR CAR AND THE CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. SHE NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT A ORANGE FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THAT A FAN ASSEMBLY JUST "FELL TO PIECES" AND RESULTED IN THE SHROUD BEING DAMAGED AND CONSEQUENTLY - THE CAR COOLANT OVERHEATED AS WELL. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE FAN NEEDED BE REPLACED, THE SHROUD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND A COOLANT FLUSH SERVICE TOO. THE TOTAL COST WOULD BE WELL OVER $700. *NM
