mine broke the blades at 60 thousand kms 7 months out of new car warrenty it took out the radiator + fan gaurd + air conditor pipes and the power steering pipes
i spoke to the local kia dealer and he said there was nothing they could do about it as it out of warrenty it cost me just over 1500 aust dollars to fix and they told me they put a updated fan and clutch as kia had updated the parts
but now when the 8 bladed fan kicks in at about 3 thousand revs it lets out a loud roaring sound then fades away as it cools down
the mechnic said at least you can hear it working
wish i had have gone to a electric fan like everybody else on here has
