  • 43,000 miles
: the contact stated that while driving 40 mph on wet roads, smoke began to erupt from under the hood. The vehicle stalled completely, and could not be restarted. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where the dealer determined that the fan blades had detached and pierced the radiator.
