2002 Jeep grand sport cooling fan

Fan came apart, ripped into radiator, made a mess. L6 engine, away on vacation at the time. Dealership in North carolina seid he has seen a few of them. Anybody else having problems with this? Andy


We had that happen repeatedly on a Volvo we had. Something involving the fan clutch. Make sure you get guaranteed work done.

This is a electric fan mounted on the radiator, service manager said the control system goes insane and turns the fan off nad on cracking the fan..I dont know much about Jeep, this is my sons, and on vacation. I am familiar with GM and Honda. I just hope they can make it home alright..he has had a lot a problems with it, especially the brakes. He bought it new.

I'd not seen problems with electric fans, it is usually the clutch fans that fail.

The brake issue was finally 'cured' late in the '02 model year by the change from the problematic Teves to Akebono calipers.

There was a TSB on it.. you got new calipers, rotors, and pads...

First thing you should do is loosen and retorque the lugnuts to about 90 pounds all around
