Jeep heating , took vehicle to the mechanic, and he said that the cooling fan was broken/frozen. The mechanic said there was a recall on Jeep cooling fans for my year of Jeep. I called the local dealer plus daimler-Chrysler, but they said the recall was for 4. 1l engines and my engine was a 4. 7l. Obviously, chryssler/daimler has a problem with the cooling fans on these Jeeps, but I didn't understand why my Jeep wasn't included in the recall. The mechanic had the NHTSA recall bullentin. Because of the heating problem, along with a safety issue, we had to pay to have the repair work done, $1206. 86. The part alone was over $900. 00 - the old part was currently available.

1. Purchased car used in February 2005. Fan broke off in July 2005. Ran air daily in summer, no problems, then one day it just made a popping noise. There were pieces of the plastic fan on the ground, and a piece still under the hood. 2. I have a warranty, but it does not cover this vehicle. It overheats if I idle too long because there is no fan. To purchase a fan shroud from a Jeep dealer costs $370-400, not including labor. 3. Have not replaced fan/fan shroud yet.

Engine over-heats when vehicle is sitting still and idling. The fan doesn't start when the temperature rises. This leads to excessive heat buildup and possible engine damage. The fan motor is being replaced for the second time and the control module for the third time. I have been told that the fan motor is drawing too much amperage. This is the third time this has happened in the past year.

Contact states: "fan burnout" also experiencing brake and water pump leakage. These problems occur only while driving long distances. Already repaired the fan out of pocket. Has yet to fix water pump leak or brake issue, a recurring problem .
