Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The car only has 63,000 miles. an antifreeze odor was noticed initially and began to intensify with time. when the defroster is running the windshield will fog up and the anti-freeze smell is so intense that it nauseates my wife and kids. i have also noticed that the carpet on the passenger side is damp. it appears that this is a very common problem with the diamante due to a failure with the heater core and its connections. *jb
