I PURCHASED 2002 MITUSBISHI DIAMANTE LS WITH 35000 MILES FROM THE MITSUBISHI DEALER IN SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA. AFTER DRIVING OFF I NOTICED A SMELL OF MAPLE SYRUP. I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY EYES BURNED AND ITCHED WHEN THE HEATER WAS ON. THIS WAS LIKELY DUE TO THE WHITE CLOUD THAT CAME FROM THE HEATER DUCT. IT WAS ALSO CAUSING CLOUDY WINDOWS THAT MADE SAFE NAVIGATION IMPOSSIBLE. THE CARPET I STARTING TO PUDDLE WITH ANTIFREEZE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I TOOK IT IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, AND HAD THE DEALER MECHANIC CHECK THE SMELL. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE HEATER CORE WAS LEAKING, AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEIR QUOTE WAS $1060 AND WAS NOT COVERED BY MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THIS IS A HEALTH HAZARD AND THE LEAKY HEATER CORE COULD CAUSE MASSIVE DAMAGE TO THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE ENGINE. THEY WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUG IT WA A PROBLEM AT DRIVE OFF.*AK
