Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The heater core has developed a leak that allows anti-freeze to enter and collect on the inside floor of the passenger compartment. this moisture inside the vehicle makes it impossible to clear the windshield with the defroster, making for a rather dangerous experience. this is on a 2002 mitsubishi diamante with fairly low miles. i've owned a large number of vehicles in my like and this is the first time a heater core has ever failed. *nm
