Engine fan does not turn on causing car to overheat. I have spoken to other owner that have a Pt Cruiser (different years) and they also have the same problem with the fan. I called the Chrysler dealer which did not have enough complaints about this so they are not issuing any recalls yet. I took this car to my mechanic and he could not determine what is causing this but he did not have the equipment to check the car computer. Another place has the equipment but wants $200. To see if it is a problem with the computer. I feel that Chrysler should cover this since it does not just effect my vehicle but many Pt Cruisers.
