| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a used 2002 mitsubishi diamante in august 2005. the car had 45,000 miles on it. in october when i started to use the heater i could smell an unusual smell inside the car. in january of 2006 my brother rode in the car and told me the smell was anti-freeze. i went on the internet and instantly found out that this model car has a problem with the heater core o-rings failing. the smell in the car got real bad real quick and i had to have the leaking o-rings repaired. i would get sick from the smell and had no choice but to have it fixed. i brought the car to a mitsubishi dealer and had the repair done for $650.the car had 48,000 miles on it when the repair was made. that is alot of money for problem that mitsubishi should have corrected. *jb |
