Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I noticed the smell of maple syrup about two weeks ago. today, the inside windshield and side windows of the diamante fogged up with a grease film that would not clear. i went to my local mobile 1 and had the coolant system flushed. when i drove off it was actually worse. it got to the point that i could not see. i have suffered severe headaches for the last two weeks as well as nausea. i immediately drove to my mitsubishi dealer. after analysis, it was determined that the heater core went out. as well, an oil leak had formed and the timing belt was going bad. they said that coolant was leaking in the right passenger floor , i felt it and never once did it feel damp, and they needed to clean the carpet and replace the flux for $237.00. the cost to repair the heater core and oil leak, $1300.00. the timing belt repair is $700.00. thank god i bought the extended warranty. all but the timing belt is covered with a $100.00 deductible. i only have 63,000 miles on this car. this is my fourth mitsubishi and may possibly be my last, especially if my health is jeopardized. *ak |
