description: ON SEPT. 20, 2010, I WAS RETURNING HOME IN MY 2006 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER CONVERTIBLE WHEN I NOTICED A "BURNING" ODOR INSIDE THE CAR AND SAW A LOT OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. MY HUSBAND AND I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND GET THE NECESSARY REPAIR. I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THE COOLING FAN MOTOR HAD BURNT INTERNALLY. WE HAD THE REPAIR DONE AND PAID FOR IT. AS PER JUDY IN CHRYSLER CASE MANAGEMENT, I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT CHRYSLER WILL REIMBURSE ME FOR ALL BUT $100 OF THE REPAIR. THANKFULLY, NO CRASH OCCURRED AND NO DEATHS OR INJURIES RESULTED. HAD I BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN A BAD AREA OR IN A DESOLATE AREA, THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE, I AM CONVINCED. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD AND HAS JUST OVER 36,000 MILES ON IT AND I DON'T THINK A PROBLEM LIKE THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. *TR
