NHTSA Complaint #10759728 — 2008 DODGE CHARGER

ENGINE COOLING FAN BECAME SEPARATED FROM FAN HOUSING AND BECAME LODGED IN RADIATOR. THE FAN CONTINUED TURNING, CAUSING RADIATOR FAN BLADES TO BREAK OFF AND BOUNCE AROUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE RADIATOR DUMPED ALL COOLANT, AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATED WITHIN MOMENTS. DODGE HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR A VERY SPECIFIC SALES CODE AND DATE RANGE OF VEHICLES, AND IS DENYING THE SAME RECALL TO OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED, ANOTHER DODGE CHARGER OF THE SAME YEAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. PICTURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN OF THE INCIDENT SHOWING THE FULL EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.
