| Description of the problem | When the air conditioning compressor is engaged either for air conditioning or defrost it activates a secondary cooling fan on the radiator. This fan started making noise (growling) and vibrating. I initially thought it was the air conditioning compressor. Upon presenting this issue to the dealer the service tech. Said it was probably the cooling fan. He already knew before he examined the car. Once they examined the car they confirmed that is was the fan. Cost to me over $1000. 00 this noise happened anytime anyplace when the engine was on and the compressor engaged. |
