Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Noticed faint smell of anti freeze approximately 9 months ago. had problems with defroster clearing windows. also, seemed to get better (or maybe i got used to the smell). now noticed passanger side floor carpet is soaked with anti freeze. obviously a problem with the heater core or the hose(s) which connect to it are leaking. car has 92000 miles, and is well maintained. i will be calling local mitsubishi dealer to schedule a repair. hopefully they can repair this at little or no cost to me as this is an obvious defect in parts or installation. *ak
