Just figured I would chime in as I too have now also experienced a fan issue. I have had my explorer approx 6 weeks & 4800 miles and all was well until yesterday. I had the air condition running w/my 15 yr old son waiting in the car as I ran in to the store. I came back 10 mins later and hot air blasting from the A/C. After turning the A/C off and on again it started blowing cold air as I drove and hot air as I sat idle at lights etc. I drove straight to the dealer and after an hr assessing the situation they told there was an issue w/the fan and they had to order. I was told it should be in tomorrow to have it fixed. What are the chances it will actually be in and back in order? I have a trip to South Carolina scheduled in a week.....I need the A/C!!! I can't believe i have this thing in the shop after only 6 weeks!!
Someone posted a couple of days ago that they have just had the same problem starting. Unfortunately it was within another thread and I can not recall which one.Haven't had one of those posts in a while, well, I was resetting MFT to fix the weather map issue (which did the trick) and noticed when I shut it off it squealed. It was a very brief squeal but definitely coming from the ex and definitely the front area.
I went out later and reproduced it. My fans are still spinning, but I expect that wont be for long. Temp guage was normal and AC worked fine, but I'm not taking chances.
Odd thing is that I'm not in the TSB range - at least the one that was posted in the sticky. My build date is 5/13/2011 with around 13k miles.
I have made an appointment with a local dealer ASAP (although not my preferred dealer - didn't wanna risk the 45 minute drive and I think this one should be a pretty easy to diagnose and fix issue).
I wonder if they have redesigned the fans at all? Clearly they seem to have a defective design.
I know that when I've brought it into the dealer before there were very LARGE warnings regarding the cooling fans, so I don't expect there will be an issue.

...I hope Ford will step up and give me a little assistance. My dealer Rob Sight Ford as been nothing but an extreme pleasure to work with. At least that part of my relationship with the American Builder has been nice.
I'd like to look into this, baddceo; send me your info in a PM and I'll see what I can do to help. In your message, please include your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, mileage, and servicing dealership info.
