Cooling Fan problems of the 2007 Dodge Charger

Cooling fans just busted my radiator. I went to the store one mile up the road, came home, parked my car and heard a loud noise like my car was hit. I get out and radiator fluid is pouring out. My cooling fans busted my radiator.

The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The contact discovered that the cooling fan for the radiator had fractured into pieces. The contact called the manufacturer and was advised to tow the vehicle to rydell Dodge Chrysler (700 san fernando rd, san fernando, CA 91340).

The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while turning to enter highway traffic, a loud noise emitted under the hood, and smoke released from under the hood. The contact was able to coast out of traffic. Inspected the vehicle and found that the engine cooling fan fractured, and cut the radiator causing the radiator coolant to spill, all wires were also cut, and the engine oil spilled causing the engine to overheat. The vehicle was towed to the contact home. The vehicle was not towed to a dealer to have a diagnostic performed. The manufacturer advised contact that the vehicle was not included in the warranted repair for the engine cooling fan replacement. The manufacturer also advised the contact that the repair ended in June of two thousand eleven. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000. Li.

I was sitting at a stop light and heard a pop. The cooling fan blade on the passenger side of the car had broken and made a hole in my radiator. I immediately took the car to a mechanic and they replaced the fan blade and the radiator. Three weeks later the exact same thing happened to the fan blade on the driver side of the car, once again making a hole in my new radiator. I feel that this is a huge design flaw and, apparently, a huge problem with 2006-2008 Chargers. I'm so glad I was in town on small local streets both times when this happened. It would have been terrible if it had happened on the freeway. I checked with the dealer to see if there is any kind of recall for this part and there isn't. I have the 5. 7l v6 hemi Charger and it has a little over 100,000 miles.

Cooling fan blades shattered and punctured radiator while car was sitting at a traffic light at idle. Caused loss of coolant and cooling system failure. No external cause for defect found. Cost of repair estimated $1000. 00.

Problem #1: one of the cooling fan blades sheered off and & flew into the radiator. I was at a complete stop and broke off when I started to accelerate. I replaced the broken blade (didn't have enough money to replace both) and radiator. About a year or less later the other fan blade sheered off (the one I didn't replace) and went into the radiator. This time also during accelerating after a complete stop. Deja vu. This time I had to replace the entire fan assembly (because the blades were on backorder) and radiator. When I went to the Dodge dealership they said there was a recall on the same blades but only the 2006 model. Problem #2: it is now loosing propulsion. The power stays on it just stops moving forward. I can put it in park & then back in gear and it moves, but barely. It isn't consistent but it is terrifying. I have googled possible issues and it seems like a lot of people are having the same problem and they have linked it to a bad pcm. I took it to a mechanic but of course it didn't do it while he had it. I have been told, by Dodge, that they are the only ones that can do a full diagnostic, that other devices only cover about 30% of the program. That alone seems unfair if not illegal. I cannot afford $110 just to find out what's wrong. My trunk light doesn't work either & even Dodge can't find out why. It's not the bulb, it's not the fuse, and the electrical connection is good. According to them. I have more images and receipts but can't figure out how to attach them.

Driving on city street speed limit 40mph car began overheating. In attempt to fix the overheating issue a new water pump and 2 new radiators have been installed. The initial radiator literally had the entire bottom fall out. The cooling fans will not come on and are damaged. It is my belief that the damage to the cooling fans is what caused damage to the radiator. I have been dealing with this issue for 3 years now driving another car if traveling more than 1 mile from my home. Obviously this is a problem caused by the manufacturerl.

On June 2, 2014 I was stopped at a stop light waiting to turn when I heard a loud bang followed by what felt like something falling out of my motor. Once I turned I turned off onto the service road to check what happened. My car immediatley began to over heat and my gage went from in between the cool range to hot range. I did not want to drive my car any further in order to prevent any unneccessary damages. I called my husband who then came to get me and check the problem. He noticed that the fans on the cooling system were not working. One completly locked which caused some of the fans to break and the other just stopped working. I looked on line to see if there were any similar occurances of this happening. I came upon Chrysler customer service notification l08, which implies that this problem has happened on over 55,000 vehicles. I contacted my local dealership and was had them look into it. According to the notification it states that only the severe cooling systems on 2006-2008 Dodge Chargers are having this occur. My vehicle is a 2007 Dodge Charger 3. 5 l v6 which is not covered under the customer service notification since it only carries the heavy duty cooling system. So my dealership will not cover the cost to fix the same problem occuring on like make and model vehicles. However, during operation my cooling locked and stopped working. I am unsure how many more vehicles have had this occur to them but upon researching it has and continues to occur.

My wife was driving car in town and she heard a load pop from engine compartment. . Noticed car was starting to heat up, stopped car from the smell and smoke from front of car. Pulled over and opened hood and noticed radiator had been damaged from the engine side. Once I got there noticed the big hole in radiator and one of the cooling fan blades had broken and damaged the radiator.

My 2007 Dodge Charger cooling fan broke and busted the radiator I need to if and when it will be under a recall.

My 2007 Dodge Charger was rendered inoperable when the engine cooling fan blades separated unexpectedly, causing severe damage to the radiator. This incident ultimately resulted in engine failure. When this incident was reported to the Chrysler group, the case manager was informed of a recall that addressed this same issue. Please refer to customer satisfaction notification l08 engine cooling fans. This notification cautions owners that the electrically powered radiator cooling fans on about 52,000 of the referenced vehicles (include 2007 Dodge Charger) may separate during fan operation and cause damage to the radiator. This exact failure occurred to my vehicle costing me in excess of $2000 but the Chrysler group refused to offer assistance due to the fact that my VIN fell outside of the range to the vins included in the recall and that my vehicle was out of warranty. I request that a the existing recall be expanded to all of the vehicles types listed within the 2006-2008 time frame instead of limiting to the 52,000 estimated in the notification.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Charger. On November 1, 2006, the vehicle was serviced for a basic oil change and filter at 3,600 miles. On January 2, 2007, the vehicle was taken to the dealer for basic maintenance, in which the contact requested a tire rotation because the tires were wearing very quickly. He was informed that the tires were rotated, balanced, and that the oil was changed. Two months later, the contact noticed that the tires continued to wear very quickly and the brakes were not stopping the vehicle properly. He went to a local tire store and was informed that the tires were placed on the vehicle incorrectly and that two different sized tires should have been installed. The contact returned to the dealer and they were supposed to provide new tires and brakes. They provided the tires and new front brakes, but no rear brakes. The dealer also failed to repair a rattling noise in the fan under the hood; however, they did not. Currently, the brakes lock sometimes and the fan still makes a noise as if leaves and sticks are under the hood. The contact has a 100,000 mile warranty, but was advised to take his vehicle to another dealer. The powertrain was unknown. The current mileage was 32,000 and failure mileage was 10,044.
