Chrysler Dodge Complaint - Condenser Fan held together with plastic tags
Complaint
My son has a 2000 Dodge Durango SUV. While driving on the interstate he heard a clunk and asked us in the car behind if we had seen anything fall from his car. Well eventually we had to pull off the road. What had happened was something had hit the fan blade and bent it. We had no idea what this could be. We had the car towed to a repair shop and upon further investigation we were told that the truck has a condenser fan which sits in front of the engine fan and it is held together with plastic tags, much like the ones that the police use when they run out of metal handcuffs. Now he has to have the condenser fan replace, the fan shroud, the water pump and the fan blade. Why don't they tell you that the cars are put together with junk before you purchase them? I guess, you probably would think twice.

The car is 11 years old; was it purchased new or was it a used car that could have been rigged up to get it sold? I have a 2003 Caravan and haven't seen anything like you are describing on my rig.

Dodges are crap. I should know. I drive one.

Hey Hey MDS, I think I spoke to you that I was having trouble with my 1999 Caravan. After parts after parts of replacement, it was the on-board computer that was the culprit.

Glad to hear you got it fixed, hopefully you didn't have to mortgage the farm to pay for the repair.

Had an old Dakota back in the day, the A/C went out, not surprisingly, not sure what the cause was. God I hated that truck.

It’s not likely that all the tie wraps broke simultaneously. In a vehicle receiving routine maintenance, something like loose or missing tie wraps would be observed and replaced more frequently.
