What owners wrote

Early morning commute to work, traveled southbound on ca highway 15, proximate to miramar way exit. Vehicle began to smoke, engine hood sprang open, other drivers indicating that smoke and flames coming from front engine - as hood blocking view. I continued to side of the road, jumped out and watched front end of engine become engulfed in flames! Watched entire front end of car burn, during this time highway patrol / fire patrol called. Fire claim number- [xxx].

Reported at 110,000 miles, March 2015 Fire

My radiator fan motor assembly locked up and a blade came off. The blade went into the radiator. It damanged the radiator and left me stranded. Had no prier noises or prolems. Took it to the shop. Cost me $677.27 to replace the radiator, the hoese, antifreeze, hose clamps and radiator fan motor assemly. The guy that fixed mine said he see this every week in chargers. Infact our whole police department switched from charges for this reason.
