2017 NX300h Radiator Fan Noise
I have a 2017 NX 300h Nebula Gray Pearl purchased in 10/2017. Recently, I have noticed a noise that sounds like an "ungreased wheel"/squeaking noise when the radiator fan spins down. The noise occurs as the fan spins up again but when running at full speed, no noise. The noise also is most noticeable in cold weather...temperature range in the 30s to upper 40s. I plan to take it to the dealer soon to get it fixed...but has anyone experienced this problem?

Update: I brought the vehicle to Hendrick Lexus KC for repair and received a loaner in return. Took a couple days to diagnose the problem and they replaced the left radiator fan. Received the car back and the noise was still occurring!
Figured out by the process of elimination and manually moving the fan (while the car was off!) by hand that the squeaking noise was originating on the right hand side fan. Brought the vehicle back and Hendrick Lexus replaced that fan and some broken/damaged clips from the earlier repair.
Kudos to Hendrick Lexus KC for their excellent and courteous service. Even though had to bring back the vehicle, they were apologetic and accommodating. Never had downtime without a vehicle. Will be back for future service!
