| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 mitsubishi diamante ls with 66,000 mile and my heater core went out. i noticed my window would fog up and you can smell antifreeze in the car, to have this replaced is going to cost me almost $998.00 for part and labor. most mechanics i have talked to about this problem said that i shouldn't be having this problem with the heater core so early. i know of numerous complaints of this defect for this (none of which i knew about before i bought the car) i know that it is dangerous for the antifreeze to be inhaled, and with all the complaints about this obvious defect something should be done about it. there is health risks with the heater core going out and releasing the antifreeze not to mention the safety concerns with the heater core being so near important computer components. *tr |
