| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving i suddenly felt a burning sensation on my right foot that coincided with the passenger compartment filling up with what appeared to be steam. i had to take immediate evasive action to pull off onto the steep shoulder of a two lane highway. apparently the heater core failed, and what i felt on my foot was anti-freeze. fortunately i had shoes on so i was not injured. dealing with the interior facing a rapid "fog up" condition was potentially very dangerous. i didn't know something like this could happen!*ak |
