Is there a fix? Manufacturer service bulletins
The manufacturer has issued service bulletins covering engine on this vehicle — documented repair instructions, service campaigns, or warranty extensions sent to dealers. A TSB isn't a recall (it's not a free safety remedy), but it's the manufacturer acknowledging the issue and how to fix it.
AIR DUCT SERVICE INFORMATION SERVICE INFORMATION Damage to the attachment clips, that retain "air duct 2" and the "air filter housing", may occur if incorrectly and/or forcefully removed or installed. Possible damage may occur during the following two (2) procedures: ï· Access to the battery terminals/battery replacement ï· Access to the air filter element Follow the SERVICE PROCEDURE starting on page 2 when accessing the battery terminals, battery, and air filter element, or when disassembling the air duct for any reason.

The fuel level sensor can be replaced separately. ï· P0460 (FUEL LEV SEN SLOSH) ï· P0461 (FUEL LEVEL SENSOR) ï· P0462 (FUEL LEVL SEN/CIRC) ï· P0463 (FUEL LEVL SEN/CIRC) NOTE: Warranty claims referring to fuel level issues that result in the replacement of the entire fuel pump assembly will be charged back.

The failure pattern owners describe
Owners report cooling fan failures across a wide mileage range (35,000 to 92,000 miles), with several occurring well before 70,000 miles. The fan stops working without warning lights or dashboard alerts until the engine overheats. When the fan fails, the engine temperature rises rapidly—sometimes noticed as rising gauges, steam from the hood, or burning smells—and the vehicle loses power or stalls while driving, creating serious safety hazards on highways and in traffic.
AC issues precede some cooling fan failures. Owners describe the AC working while driving but stopping when parked, or blowing hot air intermittently. Dealerships sometimes recharged or replaced AC components without identifying the underlying cooling fan problem.
Engine stalling or misfiring during acceleration occurs as the engine overheats. Check engine codes cited include P0507 (idle air control) and P1217 (engine overheat). One owner reported an IPDM (intelligent power distribution module) failure at 79,000 miles with loss of motive power. Restarts are delayed until the engine cools down.
One cooling fan replacement did not resolve the issue—the same failure recurred within months, suggesting either a design defect or incomplete repair. Owners emphasize the lack of warning indicators before failure and cite repair costs ranging from $554.95 to over $7,000 depending on whether engine replacement was necessary.

Failure modes owners describe
Cooling Fan Failure and Engine Overheating
The engine radiator cooling fan malfunction causes rapid engine overheating. Owners report the failure occurs with little or no warning—no dashboard temperature alerts until the gauge suddenly spikes or steam appears. Engine stalls or loses power while driving, creating dangerous situations on highways and in traffic. In some cases, overheating damages the engine, requiring full replacement. One owner's cooling fan failed twice within a year.
When: 35,000 to 92,000 miles; most reported between 40,000 and 80,000 miles
Symptoms owners cite: Engine temperature gauge rises suddenly or spikes to hot; Steam or smoke from hood; Engine stalls or loses power while driving; Engine misfires during acceleration; Burning odor inside vehicle; Antifreeze or coolant leaks; Vibration and clanking noise from engine compartment; Delayed restart until engine cools
Codes mentioned: P1217 (engine overheat), P0507 (idle air control malfunction), Check engine light illuminated
Repairs/costs cited: Cooling fan replacement cost $554.95; engine replacement over $7,000. One owner's fan replacement did not resolve the issue—failure recurred within months. One dealership initially told owner no code existed; code was found on reassessment.
Intermittent AC Malfunction Preceding Cooling Fan Failure
AC stops cooling or blows hot air, particularly when the vehicle is idling or stopped in traffic. The AC functions normally while driving. This issue occurs before cooling fan failure is diagnosed. Dealerships sometimes perform AC recharge or component replacement without investigating the underlying cooling fan defect. Owners suspect the AC failure is related to the cooling fan malfunction.
When: Typically occurs in summer or high-temperature conditions; reported days to weeks before cooling fan failure diagnosis
Symptoms owners cite: AC stops cooling when vehicle is parked or idling; AC blows hot air despite being turned on; AC works normally while driving; Intermittent AC function over multiple days; Problem persists after AC recharge
Repairs/costs cited: Dealerships charged for AC recharge (cost unspecified); AC component replacement performed without resolving intermittent cooling issue. One dealership could not replicate the problem during diagnostic.
Intelligent Power Distribution Module (IPDM) Failure
The IPDM failed, causing hesitation during acceleration and loss of motive power. Check engine light illuminated. The vehicle could be restarted but the fault persists. One owner was instructed by the dealer to pay out-of-pocket for diagnostic testing and repair.
When: 79,000 miles
Symptoms owners cite: Hesitation during acceleration; Loss of motive power while driving; Check engine light illuminated
Repairs/costs cited: IPDM replacement required. Dealer requested out-of-pocket payment for diagnostic. Repair was not completed by owner.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Manufacturer advised contact to take vehicle to dealer for diagnostic testing.
