Funny thing. My '05 black base coupe the one that i lemon'd had the cooling fan motor replaced after it started squeaking one day and then eventually seized in the middle of a highway traffic jam overheating the car, so the dealer replaced the fan. Then on my lemon law replacement crossfire my new XFire's cooling fan started squeaking just like in the old car and to prevent a possible fan seizure at the wrong time (i.e. traffic) I took it to the dealer and they replaced it as a preventive concern because they knew what had happened to my previous XFire with the same fan noise. So far the fan has been squeak free. So if you hear your cooling fan come on like say in the driveway while the car and a/c is running listen for a squeak, if its squeaking get it replaced because it will seize and leave you with an overheated XFire like it did me.
