dead fan motor - Toyota Yaris Forums

If you expect to just drive a car and it never to fail, good luck! The Problem didn't "All of a sudden" go BAM! It gave you symptoms of starting to have a problem, and you elected to ignore or at least not to have them corrected by someone knowledgeable... If you don't know how, get it to someone who does! Don't blame the equipment for the operator's inadequacy...... If your mechanic took a WEEK to stop a belt squealing, would you still go back to that same mechanic? Sometimes paying someone to get something repaired is CHEAPER than trying to stumble through getting it fixed. The Yaris is a FANTASTIC piece of machinery, when cared for properly, and it's returns to any owner is hard to beat.......

Just my 2 cents.

^^^^^This. My serpentine belt squealed the day after I had it replaced. I took it back that day, was out in under 30 minutes, and it has never squealed again. I'd get a different mechanic.
