What owners are reporting 2 most recent
The radiator fan has failed, causing the air conditioning to not work unless the car is at high speeds, and at low speeds, the engine is at risk of overheating. The issue seems to be a bad bearing in the fan.
The engine fan fails causing the fan to move and coolant levels to diminish which causes the engine to over heat.
