The most common reason would be a failed fan clutch but without looking couldn't tell for sure.The fan clutch from the dealer is 169 plus tax labor is 1hr time's shop labor rate 80-100 per hr?If the fan blade was damaged that's 51 plus tax from the dealer.There could be some other damage but that's a round about price.
