MANUFACTURER IS INSTALLING BAD COOLING FANS THAT ALLOW THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT POSSIBLY CAUSING FIRE. THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE AND COULD PLACE OCCUPANTS IN DANGER DUE TO BOTH THE RESULTS OF THE OVERHEATING AS WELL AS ANY POTENTIAL DANGER FROM HAVING A VEHICLE STOP ON THE ROAD. UNFORTUNATELY, BMWNA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM AND IS EVEN INSTALLING THE SAME FAULTY PART NUMBER FANS, CONFIRMED BY SIEMENS THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FANS.*AK
