Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While car was at idle the electric cooling fan broke apart and damaged the radiator. Dodge stated that a recall was issued for the problem but only for cars in warm weather areas (I guess california is considered a cold weather area) dealer stated that even though I live in a warm weather area the recall will still not apply to my vehicle. I find this totally unacceptable and will not continue my business with Dodge any longer.”
NHTSA complaint #10578045, filed 2014-04, 113,500 miles“While driving through arizona in my 2007 Dodge Magnum sxt one of the cooling fans disintegrated and damaged my radiator punching holes and causing coolant to begin rapidly leaking. After assessing the damage I was able to limp the car along to the next town where I waited for a friend to pick up a new radiator and drive 2 hours to our location where we changed it out in a parking lot. It was 107 degrees. 2 days later I purchased and installed the fan from the local Dodge dealer. I returned home the next day and began researching the cause of this equipment failure. …”
