Consumer Description

ANTI FREEZE ODOR IS OVERWHELMING IN THE CAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE HEATER IS RUN. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW, AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER ONLY A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE ISSUE BY INSTALLING A NEW GASKET, BUT THE FIX HAS LASTED ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING A VARIETY OF RESPIRATORY ILLNESSES RECENTLY, AND I BELIEVE THESE FUMES ARE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. *JB
