    Actually I just bought the car from a dealer.Mine is 08 dodge avenger 2.7 LT flex. My alternator I just bought went out so I return it for replacement. Then we put a new alternator and it works fine but the cooling fan stopped working. Solutions please

    At first the passenger side heat wouldn't work, the air blowing wouldn't turn on until it was on high and now it seems the air conditioning is stuck on or just blowing cold air.

    It hasn't been fixed. Heater and A/C fan only worked on high, then stopped altogether. Paint-like smell noticed, then smell of wires burning, and engine temperature increases rapidly when idling.

    Driving on the interstate home. All of a sudden temperature gauge pegs, red lights flashing, warning bell ringing. Open hood to find that the radiator filler neck (basically a plastic tee with the radiator cap on top, and radiator hose on each side) blew apart. Replaced, refilled with antifreeze, and drove home. the check engine light stayed on entire time. Had towed to garage next day, they called saying cooling fans not coming on. Kept for 5 days, and cannot find anything wrong, but fans are still not coming on.Called dealership and was told no recalls on cooling fans.

    Upper radiator hose broke. Got it fixed but then the fans don't come on. Car runs hot when idling. A/C at time does not get real cold. Funny smell like wires burning.
