Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Windows fog constantly and i can not get them defrosted. smoke and smell of antifreeze comes into cabin of car. took to dealer a year ago and was told nothing was wrong, car now has 98,000 miles and they are telling me it will cost 672.00 to replace the heater core. i have found several complaints about the same issues. i became ill in january of this year, the doctors (4 of them and three hospitals, ct scans, etc) could not figure out what it was. turns out it was breathing the fumes in my car. at that time, the smoke only appeared a couple of times, but now it has increased considerably. i think it's sad that mitsubishi will not repair this problem, nor have they corrected it.*ak
