2001 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE Engine And Engine Coolingcooling System Problems

MY CAR IS MAKING ME SICK!! I NOTICED A SMELL OF ANTI-FREEZE COMING OUT OF THE CLIMATE CONTROL VENTS. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I NOTICED ANTI-FREEZE/ENGINE COOLANT LEAKING FROM THE HEATER CORE DOWN ONTO FLOOR MATS, CLIMATE CONTROL INTAKE, ELECTRICAL WIRING INSIDE DASHBOARD, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. WHERE IS MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. *JB

NOTICED A SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE COMMING OUT OF THE CLIMATE CONTROL VENTS. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I NOTICED ANTIFREEZE/ENGINE COOLANT LEAKING FROM THE HEATER CORE DOWN ONTO FLOOR MATTS, CLIMATE CONTROL INTAKE, ELECTRICAL WIRING INSIDE DASHBOARD, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. WHERE IS MANUFACTURER'S RECALL.

MY CAR IS MAKING ME SICK. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN AUG. 2001 AND BEGAN TO NOTICE A SMELL IN THE CAR AND FUME CLOSELY RESEMBLING THAT OF RADIATOR COOLANT. THE CAR WAS ASSESED BY A MITSUBISHI DISTRICT MANAGER AND SERVICE PERSONNEL FROM MY DEALER AND DEEMED TO BE SOUND. IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE SUFFERED WITH RUNNY EYES AND INTERMITTENT PARALYSIS IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE DEPENDENT ON THE AMOUNT OF TIME SPENT IN THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THIS AND RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE. IN NOVEMBER 2004 I NOTICED AN INCREASE IN THIS SMELL AND FOGGING PROBLEMS OF THE INTERIOR WINDOWS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TELLING THEM THAT I BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE HEATER CORE. I ASCERTAINED THIS INFORMATION THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH DEALING WITH MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE DEFECTS AND PROBLEMS. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH THIS...

MY HEATER CORE WENT ON MY AUTOMOBILE. THE CAR IS A 2001 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE WHICH HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE CAR HAD 45,000 MILES ON IT, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THE HEATER CORE UNTIL LATER ON. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR 2-L/2 DAYS FOR A JOB THAT WAS 6.9 HOURS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BOX THAT THE CORE WAS IN WAS EITHER BROKEN OR COULDN'T BE SHUT, BUT THEN THEY WERE ABLE TO CLOSE IT, FIX IT I HOPE. I WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE O-RING AND THAT THEY HAD A CAR THE SAME YEAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, POSSIBLE RECALL. THE DEALER DID A SHABBY JOB IN REPLACING MY DASH BOARD, I HAVE 3 SCREWS THAT I FOUND ON THE FLOOR, MY GLOVE COMPARTMENT HAS A SCREW MISSING, NONE OF WHICH I HAVE IN...

HEATER CORE FAILED, CAUSING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP. ALSO, CONSUMER COULD SMELL ANTI FREEZE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK

CAR SMELLS LIKE COOLANT. WINDOWS WON'T CLEAR UP WHILE IM DRIVING. VERY FOGGY. DEALER SAID I NEED A NEW HEATER CORE AT 43,000 MILES. *LA
