What owners wrote
While servicing the vehicle mechanic discovered that driver's side heated seat burned. Consumer was unaware of the defect.
I own a 2003 mitsubishi diamante ls with 70,000. I purchased the car from the dealership brand new. In november 2007, there was a strong smell of antifreeze in the car. After some investigation, it was discovered there was a leak in the heating core, which was causing the antifreeze to leak out of the compartment and into the cabin of the car...needless to say, the car is undriveable because of the health risks associated with breathing antifreeze. Estimated repairs are around $1500.
