Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2002 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE LS 10/3/07. HE HAD 53,000 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS ABOUT 75,000 MILES. MY PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS HUNDREDS OF OWNER OF THIS CAR. HEATER CORE ISSUES. I RECENTLY HAD THE HEATER CORE GASKETS REPLACED AS I WAS TOLD THAT THE HEATER CORE WAS OK, STILL HAD TO PAY FOR LABOR. IT IS NOW LEAKING AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SEEMS THAT MITSUBUSHI IS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THE HEATER CORE IS RIGHT ABOVE THE COMPUTER THAT RUNS THE CAR. WHEN THE HEATER CORE GOES BAD, ITS LEAKS ON THE COMPUTER. WHAT KIND OF SENSE DOES THAT MAKE? MY ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND I HAVE SEEN THE TCL LIGHT COME ON AS WELL. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND ALL 3 OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE VERY COMMON. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS OR IF MITSUBUSHI HAS ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AND I AM NOT AWARE OF. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THE CAR OR GET A NEW. PLEASE HELP! *TR
