It should not be, one fan should only come on when the temperature hits a certain point, or in some cases when you turn the A/C on.

The coolant fans on Pacifica's are wired in parallel. They should kick on/off and run at the same speed (they are variable speed), if they don't it is time to R&R. I have gone thru quite a few failed electric fan motors, never had any blow the radiator hose off..

Sharing almost situation as pressure is building up on the coolant reservoir. I thought it was the thermostat. It turned out to be the driver side fan intermittently kicks in and/or if it kicks in, the RPM is not enough. It turned out that the fan motor is at fault already and I just changed it. Now cooling system is back to normal.
