Driving east on I-70 about 15 miles east of frisco, co, there was suddenly thick white steam coming out of my vents, followed by boiling hot coolant pouring onto my feet. It was hard to see, and hard to brake because of the hot fluid. I was eventually able to pull onto the shoulder. I immediatly called VW of america, because I had heard of this happening. My feet were covered in coolant, and burned. I can still taste the coolant in my nose.

I was on my way back to galveston from houston (on I-45) with my spouse and a ten month old son in our 95 volkwagen jetta glx vr6. After crossing the land bridge, I suddenly found a dense white smoke coming from my ventilation ports and a different smell started coming. I could hardly see the road. Initially, I thought it must be the heavy dew (humidity) adsorbed on the windshield. Therefore, I slightly increased the temperature range of the heater but the situation became worst. The car was with a speed 55 MPH.
