Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 6 months after vehicle purchased. the two fans (radiator and cooling) fan started to come on at the same time. the cooling fan only needs to come on when vehicle's engine is hot. but the fan comes on when a turn on the car for the first time. i drive it and the fans keep on running. it sounds like i'm flying a plan and not driving a car. i took it to the dealership and they said that if i have the defroster and on, then the fans would come on. but the fans come on either way. no problems found by dealership and said it's normal. well, i don't think so. *jb
