The radiator blew apart while driving on the hwy causing the engine to quickly overheat. There were no warning lights to indicate there was a problem. Upon inspection by my mechanic it was discovered that the cylinder head also cracked. He was aware of a possible known issue and contacted Mitsubishi who verified a problem with the cooling fan controller. After having the vehicle towed to the Mitsubishi dealership I was told by them that they would only cover the cost of the parts and not the labor. I would have thought that if a defective part caused these problems that I shouldn't have to pay anything much less over $1,100 in labor.
