Consumer Description

AT APPROX 60K (I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER) THE CAR BEGAN TO EMIT MIST FROM THE VENTS. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS A NEAR OVERHEATING EVENT WHICH CAUSED ME TO CHECK THE COOLANT. AFTER TOPPING OFF THE LEVEL THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN REPEATED THE BEHAVIOR. THE TCL WENT OFF, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE MIST GOT HEAVIER, AND THE CAR IS A DANGER TO BOTH MYSELF AS AN OPERATOR AND OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE FOG FROM THE ANTIFREEZE DAMAGES VISIBILITY. THE FLOOR MAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS ALSO GATHERED MOISTURE FROM THE APPARENT LEAK. THIS SCENARIO IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY OTHERS AND DEMANDS A RECALL. *TR
