Description of the problem | During normal operation, radiator cooling fan makes a buzzing noise when hvac system is turned on to any setting. Upon further inspection, passenger side radiator fan is off balance, causing vibration and buzzing sound. With vehicle turned off, fan blade was verified loss. The vehicle has 30,200 miles. During my research, i have noticed many similar issues with the same vehicle between 30,000 and 50,000 miles. With a background in automotive service and quality engineering, it is my opinion that the amount of vibration is significant enough to eventually contact the radiator or break loose, possibly causing a coolant leak or other underhood damage. |
