Consumer Description

I OWN A 2003 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE, AROUND 60K MILES I STARTED NOTICING A SWEET SMELL FROM THE VENTS AND A CONSTANT FOG WHEN THE HEAT OR AIR WAS TURNED ON IN THE CAR. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THAT MY HEATER CORE WAS BUSTED. MY CAR ALSO SDRIVING IN "SAFE MODE" MEANING I CAN ONLY RUN IN SECOND GEAR WHICH IS BURNING A TANK OF GAS EVERY THREE DAY, I LOVE 10 MILES FROM WORK. MY CAR FLASHED IN NEUTRAL WILL IN DRIVE. AFTER RESEARCHING MY PROBLEMS I'VE NOTICE WELL OVER 1000 POSTED VIA INTERNET FROM OTHER MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ITS HARD TO BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BE RECALLED. THERE ARE GREAT RISKS OF INHALING ANTI FREEZE WHICH IS SEEPING INTO THE CAR THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARDS AND VENTS. I HAVE AN ASTHMATIC CHILD WHO HAS BEEN DRIVING IN THE CAR UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. THIS LEAK MAY ALSO MAKE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE GO OUT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT IS CAUSED OR A LIFE IS TAKEN. *TR
