NHTSA Complaint #10992638 — 2008 DODGE CHARGER

RECALL L08 ENGINE COOLING FANS, THIS RECALL IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEN TO MY CAR. COOLING BLADES BROKE AND WENT THROUGH THE RADIATOR. CALLED CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN AS I WAS TOLD RECALL ISN'T ON MY EXACT VIN. THEY TOOK MY COMPLAINT AND SAID IT WAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT TOUGH LUCK BECAUSE THE RECALL WASN'T ON MY VIN. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE FRONT YARD TILL I CAN AFFORD TO FIX IT ONLY HAD THE CAR 2 MONTHS. SITTING AT THE LIGHT FELT LIKE SOMEONE BUMPED THE BACK OF MY CAR BUT THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND ME. COOLANT STARTED TO LEAK THROUGH THE A/C VENT. PULLED OVER AFTER THE LIGHT CHANGED AND TOWED THE CAR HOME AS IT JUST STARTED TO SHOW THAT IT WAS GOING TO OVERHEAT. WE REMOVED THE COOLING FAN AND SAW THE BROKEN BLADES AND THE WHOLE IT MADE IN THE RADIATOR. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THE BLADES ARE CHEAP AND BREAK EASILY. WELL HELLO IF I AM GOING TO PAY THAT MUCH I HOPE THAT A VEHICLE IS GOING TO SOMEWHAT HOLD TOGETHER. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM HAD JUST REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND INSPECTED THE FAN AND EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. THEN IT JUST BREAKS I CAN TAKE AND SEND PICS IF NEEDED. THANK YOU
