WHILE MY CAR WAS IDLING THE ELECTRIC COOLING FAN CAME APART AND THE FAN BLADES IMPALED INTO MY RADIATOR. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I CRANKED THE CAR AND BEFORE I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE. I LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WILL PAY FOR SOME CARS TO BE REPAIRED. THIS IS IN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTICE L-08 FROM CHRYSLER. I WAS TOLD MY CAR FIT THE CRITERIA OF THIS NOTICE, YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, ETC. EXCEPT THE NOTICE SAYS "SEVERE DUTY" FAN MODULE AND ACCORDING TO THE MAN ON THE PHONE MY CAR HAS A "HEAVY DUTY" MODULE. MY CAR DID EXACTLY WHAT THE OTHER CARS THAT WERE COVERED DID. SO BASICALLY CHRYSLER IS SAYING IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR MY FAN TO COME APART AND SLING PIECES INTO MY RADIATOR AND NO TELLING WHAT ELSE BECAUSE MY HEMI 5.7 HAS A HEAVY DUTY PIECE ON THE FAN BUT IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR THE SEVERE DUTY PIECE ON THE SAME CAR TO DO IT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT HAD HAPPENED AT 70 MPH AND FOR THE NOTICE TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN IN THE FIRST PLACE SOMEONE WAS AWARE OF THAT. THIS NOTICE OR RECALL MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

THEY TELL US DON'T DRIVE THE CAR IF YOU ARE CONCERNED BUT WE HAVE TO USE THESE VEHICLES TO DRIVE TO WORK ETC...PLEASE TRY TO FIND OUT WHERE THEY ARE IN SOLVING THESE CRITICAL PROBLEMS ! I HAVE ASKED BOTH THE LOCAL DEALER AND THE NATIONAL CHRYSLER CORP AND NEITHER WILL PROVIDE AN ANSWER! *TR

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A SHUDDER WHILE STOPPED FOR LIGHTS ON AND OFF FOR YEARS, SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW IN 07. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG (NO CODES) AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE COMPLAINT. THEN IN 2013 IT BEGAN STALLING AT LIGHTS AFTER THE SHUDDER AND SOMETIMES WITHOUT THE SHUDDER. AGAIN LEAVING NO CODES. I'M A ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECH OF FORTY YEARS. A TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKUP COULD CAUSE IT TO SHUDDER AND STALL, BUT SHOULD LEAVE A CODE. BUT A DEFECTIVE CRANK POSITION OR CAM POSITION SENSOR COULD SHUT IGNTION OFF WITHOUT LEAVING A CODE. THEREFORE, FOR A TOTAL OF $32.50 I CHANGED BOTH SENSORS. IT FIXED BOTH ISSUES FOR 7 OR 8 MONTHS. SUDDENLY, TODAY 12/30/14 IT'S DOING BOTH AGAIN! THERE'S TO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TO IGNORE THE SAFETY ISSUES OF STALLING IN TRAFFIC WHILE STANDING STILL DRIVING 60 MPH.HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!!!!! THANKS. *JS

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
