NHTSA Complaint #10562882 — 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT

IN 2012 I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A OIL CHANGE. I HAD NOTICED A SMELL OF ANTI FREEZE COMING FROM THE VENT WHEN YOU TURN ON THE HEAT. AFTER THE SERVICE I ASK MY MECHANIC IF HE SMELLED ANYTHING AND HE STATED SOMETHING SMELLS SWEET BUT DID NOT SAY HE SMELLED ANTI FREEZE. OVER THE PAST TWO YEAR WHEN I DRIVE HER CAR I TURN THE HEAT ON AND YES THE SMELL OF ANTI FREEZE IS STILL THERE FOR ABOUT 10 MINS. AND GOES AWAY. FWD: 2/2014 MY WIFE CALLED AND SAID AFTER TURNING THE HEAT ON SHE COULD NOT SEE OUT THE FRONT INSIDE WINDSHIELD AND HAD TO KEEP WIPING IT WITH A RAG AND THE SMELL OF ANTI FREEZE WAS VERY STRONG. I KNOW ABOUT HEATER CORES AND IT SHOULDN'T BE BAD BECAUSE MY WIFE HATES HEAT. *TR
