3 Engine Cooling System problem

Failure Date: 09/08/2004

1. 2005 Chrysler Pacifica rented by enterprise rental (odometer - 1,000 miles) 2. Drove the rental off location - 1 mile away smoke came from under the hood. 3. Thermostat went up and chime activated. 4. Was at our home office where our asc master certified mechanic looked under the hood. 5. The pressure hose coming from the radiator to the recyler bottle was not in tact. Not clamped. Secured with a metal clamp and fused the system to regain fluid. Went back to enterprise and noted that this could have caused engine failure bad the normal prudent person were to operate this vehicle. After furhter review they had another neew Pacifica on thier lot. They- the manufacturer are using plastic clips on a hose that is under extreme heat and pressure. This should be watched as a TSB or if other occurance have already occurred.
