Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: The fumes of antifreeze fogged up the windows severely, reducing visibility of the driver. it was raining one night and my windows all of a sudden got foggy. i turned on the defroster, which made my windows even foggier. the poor visibility caused me to run off the road into the grassy median. i was out of town when this occurred. in doing research on this problem i found that it was common all diamantes (92 -2001). in many cases, the driver is not aware that this is a severe problem. the antifreeze will started leaking on the passenger?s side area. causing more strong smell of toxic antifreeze. i believe this to be a safety issue. *ak
