Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My car is making me sick. i purchased my car in aug. 2001 and began to notice a smell in the car and fume closely resembling that of radiator coolant. the car was assesed by a mitsubishi district manager and service personnel from my dealer and deemed to be sound. in the mean time i have suffered with runny eyes and intermittent paralysis in the right side of my face dependent on the amount of time spent in the car. i have contacted mitsubishi numerous times about this and received no assistance. in november 2004 i noticed an increase in this smell and fogging problems of the interior windows. i took the car to the dealer telling them that i believed the problem was with the heater core. i ascertained this information through internet research dealing with mitsubishi diamante defects and problems. the car was returned to me with this problem more severe than when i took it in for repair. any help or ideas that you can offer would be greatlly appreciated. *ak
