“Engine radiator cooling fan siezed up and became very hot. Could start fire as well as overheat engine problem. Problem found on a cool day sitting idling. Vehicle won't be 2 years in service for another 3 months”

NHTSA complaint #11377257, filed 2020-12, 198,000 miles

“Driving on the expressway and the electrical gages started acting erratic then the motor turned off while driving. When the vehicle turned off we lost all control of the vehicle at 70 MPH. We hit the brakes hard causing traffic issues and stopped in traffic and could not move and had to call a tow truck to move the vehicle. Towed the vehicle to the dealer that said the motor was bad and that FCA would have to replace it. We were told prior to this happening that the van had recalls but ours was fine.”
