Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This is the third cooling fan to fail in this car. when the fan fails the car becomes inoperable and boils over quickly.the last fan was the "second generation" fan and was a replacement design for the original fan design. now i am told there is a "third generation" fan being built. the car now qualifies as a "lemon" under washington state law. there still is no recall notice to consumers driving these cars. last breakdown was late at night in an unsafe area. this is my second complaint to nhsta.*ak
