Please provide further information. Mr
Last year in march 2001 I had a recall on my engine cooling fan. I brought my car to a local dealership to have it taken care of . The car at the time was presenting problems with overheating, excessive torque, and the check engine light was occasionally coming on. The dealership (was laplace ford in laplace, la) only changed the fuse for the fan and nothing else. At the time I brought my car in the mileage was at 84000 miles and the warranty for the fan motor only extended to 100000 miles. Now the problem has become worse and laplace ford is syaing they need to charge me an excess of 450.00 for repairs when in all actuality this problem (which I thought was already taken care of a year ago) I feel should be ford's responsibility to repair. Please advise me in what actions I may take to resolve this issue? Thank you.

Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: 1995 passenger vehicles equipped with the 2.0l and 2.5l engines, and 1996 vehicles equipped with 2.5l engines. Tightening of the engine cooling fan motor bearings, up to and including motor stall, can result in increased motor torque and higher than normal motor current and accompanying high motor temperatures.
- Risk
- Overheating of the cooling fan motor due to excessive current can result in smoke and odors from bearing grease, insulation and other internal motor components. If electrical current continues to be applied to the motor, internal motor components could ignite possibly igniting other engine compartment components.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a positive temperature coefficient device in-line with each fan motor. Ford will also extend the warranty on the engine cooling fan assembly to a total of 8 years of service or 100,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever occurs first. If the vehicle already has more than 100,000 miles, this coverage will last until july 31, 2001.
