Cooling Fan Problems of Dodge Stratus

I had my Dodge Stratus (which has 37053 miles) have a radiator fan go bad for the second time in approximately 2-3 months. I replaced the radiator fan the first time due to the fact that it took me 5 minutes to do and was an easy fix (approximately February/March timeframe). On Monday, may 14, 2007, I was driving my vehicle home from northern wisconsin when my temp gauge skyrocketed to the top of the gauge. After pulling over at a safe location (was in a construction zone) and having the dealer tow the car to the lot, I came to find out that my engine was now bad due to overheating and loss of coolant. The radiator fan had failed the exact same way as it had before and this time caused severe damage to my vehicle. My radiator fan was no longer under warranty so I had replaced it myself back in February/March. All-in-all Chrysler says they will not cover anything under warranty (engine and drivetime under warranty until 70000 miles) because the fan I had installed failed and caused the damage. I firmly believe that it is due to a lack of quality in the part, thus causing failure and termination of my vehicle. I'd like to get this resolved but dont know where to turn for help. I have pictures of the fan's failure the first time after removing it from the vehicle.

: the contact stated that while driving 40 mph on wet roads, smoke began to erupt from under the hood. The vehicle stalled completely, and could not be restarted. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where the dealer determined that the fan blades had detached and pierced the radiator.

A fan belt was loose. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer told consumer that it was a bad leak coming from cylinder head gasket. Consumer is still having the problem.
