RADIATOR FAN IS FAILING AT 20,000 MILES NOT NOT KEEPING THE RADIATOR AND ENGINE COOL. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND IDLING. JEEP HAS THIS PART ON BACK ORDER WITH NO ETA. I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE WEEKS BEFORE THE PART ARRIVES. I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT MANY OTHER JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, AS WELL AS THE LONG DELAY FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RECALL THAT HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HAVE A RENTAL CAR THAT I AM PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM JEEP.
