On thursday 12/26 my car started making a crazy sound. By 12/27 I was told by ntb that the cooling fan was in horrible condition. They had to replace it and that is the 3rd one that they had replaced. This is a 2017 nissan pathfinder with 50,000 miles. Ntb was surprised by the fan condition with it being a fairly new car.
