Consumer Description

RADIATOR FAN MOTOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND WATER PUMP FAILURE CAUSED ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. THIS THEN CAUSED THE ENGINE HEAD OR GASKET TO FAIL. ALSO EXPECT TO FIND WATER PUMP IMPELLER DAMAGE. THESE COMPONENT FAILURES HAVE PRODUCED A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR ESTIMATE. BY SEARCHING CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE, OWNERS CAN PLAINLY SEE THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM FAILURES ARE CAUSEING EXTENSIVE AND COSTLY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE ENGINE. A RECALL IS IN EFFECT FOR THE FAN MOTORS, THIS DOES NOT ADDRESS THE DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE VEHICLE ENGINE BY THE FAILURE OF THE FAN MOTOR. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO, AND I DID NOT HAVE A NOTICE OF VEHICLE RECALL ON THE RADIATOR FAN MOTOR.*AK
