Consumer Description

STARTED RUNNING HOT OUT OF THE BLUE. CHECKED FUSES AND THE MAIN FUSE TO THE FAN WAS BLOWN. REPLACED THE FUSE BUT THE FAN STILL IS NOT TURNING ON. VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING HOT AND PRODUCING SMOKE/STEAM ALONG WITH A BURNING SMELL. THE SYMPTOMS STARTED WHILE WAITING IN STOPPED TRAFFIC BUT SEEMED TO CLEAR UP WHILE MOVING, THEN GOT WORSE WHILE SITTING IDLE WITH AC UNIT ON. I HAVE BEEN READING UP ON IF THERE ARE ISSUES RELATED TO MINE AND THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE COOLING FAN. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL??
