WHILE PARKED I NOTICED DROPS OF COOLANT IN MY GARAGE. WATER PUMP HAD FAILED AND SPEWED ALL OVER THE ENGINE. FAN MOTOR WAS BURNED OUT. ONE OF THE FANS ALSO WAS BROKE. ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I BELIEVE THE WATER PUMP FAILURE CAUSED THE FAN MOTOR TO BE DAMAGED. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I HAD BEEN DRIVING LIKE THAT SINCE IT DIDN'T OVERHEAT. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO OTHERS AND THEY MAY NOT BE IN A SAFE LOCATION WHEN IT HAPPENS.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2017 Lexus Nx200 verdict →
