Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS IT NEEDING A NEW COOLING FAN. THE ODD PART WAS MY ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON, THE COOL/HOT DISPLAY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEVER SHOWED IT WAS OVERHEATING. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE TO THE MECHANICS SHOP. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT NIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR INJURY AT BEST, DEATH AT WORST.
