I had just left my residence to travel to work in my 2007 dodge charger, 2.7l v6, i had made it 10 miles away from my house when my engine blew.

Problem #1: one of the cooling fan blades sheered off and & flew into the radiator. I was at a complete stop and broke off when i started to accelerate. I replaced the broken blade (didn't have enough money to replace both) and radiator. About a year or less later the other fan blade sheered off (the one i didn't replace) and went into the radiator. This time also during accelerating after a complete stop. Deja vu.…

The initial radiator literally had the entire bottom fall out. The cooling fans will not come on and are damaged. It is my belief that the damage to the cooling fans is what caused damage to the radiator. I have been dealing with this issue for 3 years now…
