Consumer Description

MY CAR'S RADIATOR FAN STARTED RATTLING AND AFTER LOOKING FURTHER INTO THE ISSUE, I FOUND ENDLESS SOURCES OF OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR AS ME THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IF NOT DILIGENTLY ACKNOWLEDGED AND FIXED, THE RADIATOR FAN MOTOR WILL EVENTUALLY GO OUT. THIS HAS CAUSED SMOKING AND FLAMES AND CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE. THE SOUND HAPPENS WHEN MY CAR IS IDLING AND STOPPED IN FIRST GEAR. TO AVOID THESE COSTLY AND DANGEROUS EFFECTS OF WHEN THE RADIATOR FAN MOTOR DOES FAIL, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CASE 2:19-CV-10417-NGE-EAS HAS BEEN FILED, BUT NO FURTHER UPDATES HAVE BEEN RELEASED.
