Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In early 2005, i started noticing that my windows were fogging for no reason while driving and it was hard to defrost them. a definite safety hazard, because i could not see that well. later, i started noticing a weird smell in the cabin. (it turned out to be coolant; it can't be good for your health) in mid 2005, i saw fog/smoke coming from the vents. a repair shop confirmed that it was a problem with the heater core, and it would be at least $800 to fix. the dealer told me that my car is out of warranty. i purchased the vehicle in december 2001, and it now has only 30600 miles. *nm
