Consumer Description

ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER BUYING A 2000 DIAMANTE; IN OCT, 2004, I STARTED TO NOTICE THICK FOG ON THE WINDSHEILD THAT WOULDN'T GO AWAY BY USING THE DE-FOGGER AND WHEN USING THE HEATER, I WOULD ALSO NOTICE STRONG SMELL ON ANIT-FREEZE COMMING OUT FROM THE VENT. UPON INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM AS FAULTY O-RING IN THE HEATER CORE. THE FIX WAS COSTLY, AROUND $1100.00 HOWEVER THE CAR HAS BEEN PROBLEM FREE SINCE THEN. *AK
