Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: When using the defroster the windows increasingly fog up and it does not clear. from investigating i have come to find out that this issue appears to be caused by a documented problem with the heater core of this model of of vehicle, 2001 mitsubishi diamante, in this case. i purchased the vehicle used from a local dealer approximately two weeks ago. i guess lucky for us the weather turned cold, forcing us to use the defroster, and thereby discovering this problem. i realize i most likely do not have any recourse in my case i want to file this on behalf of those who might since, as stated above, this is a known issue with the diamante.*ak
