Consumer Description

I WENT OUT TO PICK UP DINNER.I LEFT THE VEHICLE RUNNING WHEN I WENT INTO THE RESTAURANT, CAME OUT TWO MINUTES LATER AND NOTICED A REALLY WEIRD RATTLING/REVVING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I POPPED THE HOOD AND THE WHOLE RADIATOR FAN AND HOUSING WAS WOBBLING AND HAD A TERRIBLE ELECTRICAL FIRE SMELL. I WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO GET HOME,WHICH WAS ONLY FIVE MINUTES AWAY, BUT AS SOON AS I GOT IN THE DRIVEWAY THE MESSAGE "SERVICE ENGINE" CAME ONTO THE SCREEN.I POPPED THE HOOD AGAIN AND THE FAN LOCKED UP AND IS NO LONGER SPINNING. I SEE I'M NOT THE FIRST WITH THIS ISSUE...CAN WE PLEASE GET A RECALL?THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.
