Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2003 mitsubishi diamante with 65000 miles. noticed fog coming out of vents around the radio. it smelled like anti-freeze and created a fog on my windows that was bad enough to render the car undriveable. i was also getting an error message of p-1751. this refers to a problem with the transmission relay control. i took the car to a transmission shop and after diagnosing for two days, the mechanic told me that he had discovered a leaking heater coil that may or may not have damaged the pcm. worst case scenario, $1600. it will at least cost $500, best case scenario. i uncovered numerous complaints from diamante owners with models from a wide range of years who were experiencing the same problems. this is criminal negligence and i personally request an investigation to research how mistubishi has been getting away with this, for so long. the same exact problems are occurring on a frequent basis. *jb
