Consumer Description

THE COOLING FAN, WHEN ENGAGED, REQUIRES A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE AVAILABLE HORSE POWER. THE COOLING FAN, IN NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS ON COOL SUMMER DAY IN COLORADO, RUNS EXCESSIVELY. THE CHANGE IN AVAILABLE HORSE POWER BETWEEN FAN-ENGAGED AND FAN-DISENGAGED SITUATIONS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT ONE DOES NOT KNOW HOW FAST THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED FULLY. THE DIFFERENCE IS SIGNIFICANT AND STRIKING. *AK
