Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: Heater coil replacement. causes car to overheat, also causes bad smell and heat and fumes to come out of the dash. it has come to my attention that a large amount of mitsubishi diamantes up to year 2001 have this problem and it has not be considered a recall. i wanted to know why and how this issue can be fixed. it's not fair that customers have to pay over 1000. to get something fixed that is obviously a manufacturer problem. this is not an optional fix since it can ultimately cause an engine fire.*ak
