Problems with 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

For no particular reason my car fills up with the smell of anti-freeze coolant when i turn on the heater. i have read that this is caused by leaking 0-rings and that this will damage the computers which are underneath the leak. the car is a 2001 mitsubishi diamante l.s. the dealer says it is not a common issue. google says otherwise. *tr

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

2001 mitsubishi diamante experienced problems with the heater core.*mr the heater core had to be replaced because anti-freeze was leaking into the passenger compartment and fogging the windshield. when the heater core was being removed, the consumer noticed it failed to have sufficient insulation. the oil pan gasket was leaking and the upstream oxygen sensor was replaced. *jb

Heater core failure/leak in 2001 mitsubishi diamante ls; leaked on carpet; continuous odor. dealer mcginnis mitsubishi said it would cost over $1000 in labor costs to replace.*ak

While driving vehicle stalled. consumer was unable to restart vehicle, and had it towed to the dealer for inspection. mechanic determined that the pulley belt sheared off. this caused the vehicle not to start. the mechanic will replace the part. *ak *tc

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 my possession fits the missing screw hole. when i picked up the car, the steering column came apart in my hands and so they took it back in to fix. do they not check things after they complete a job, like are all the screws back in place. i will never buy another mitsubishi and never advise anyone to buy one either. i was told that a heater core shouldn't break at only 50,000 miles and the car is only 3 years old.

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
