2003 Mitsubishi Diamante visibility problems

“INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). THIS CONCERNS MY 2003 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE. IT HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS SUDDENLY STARTED SPEWING A LIGHT FILM ON THE INSIDE OF MY FRONT WINDSHIELD SO THAT I CANNOT SEE WELL...AND NOT AT ALL WHEN I AM HEADED INTO THE SUN. I HAVE CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MITSUBISHI DIAMANTES GOING BACK SEVERAL MODEL YEARS. ALL DIAMANTES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND THE HEATER CORE AND/OR ITS O RINGS FIXED OR REPLACED. IF THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN, PEOPLE WILL DIE WHEN THEY SUDDENLY CANNOT SEE THE ROAD THROUGH THEIR FRONT WINDSHIELD. [XXX] *TR *DT”

“I HAVE A 2003 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE WITH 60,000 PLUS MILES. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF ANTI-FREEZE COMING FROM THE VENTS AND THE WINDOWS CONSTANTLY FOGGING UP, SOMETIMES TO THE POINT THAT I CANNOT SEE TO DRIVE. I HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND AGREE WITH OTHERS THAT MITSUBISHI NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE HEATER CORE, AS I AM SURE THIS IS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE YET TO TAKE MINE IN TO GET IT REPAIRED, SO I DON'T HAVE A COST QUOTE AT THIS TIME. *TR”

“HEATER CORE LEAKAGE CAUSING SMOKE AND ANTIFREEZE ODOR TO COME OUT OF CAR VENTS AND UNDERNEATH DASH BOARD (PASSENGER SIDE). THERE IS A RISK OF ACCIDENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH BECAUSE USE OF A/C, HEATER, AND DEFROST IS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN WINDSHIELDS AND WINDOWS FOG UP. *TR”

“I HAVE 2003 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE. MY "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, AND MY HEATER CORE WAS LEAKING ON MY COMPUTER...NOW IT'S GOING TO COST ME AROUND 3,500 DOLLARS....THIS IS A VERY FLAWED DESIGN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM. *TR”

“DRIVING ALONG AND WINDOWS STARTED TO FOG UP, AND STARTED SMELLING A ODD ODOR. FOUND OUT MY HEATER CORE WAS BAD. APPARENTLY CRACKED FOR NO REASON. RIGHT NOW BY-PASSED THE HEATER CORE BECAUSE MITSUBISHI DEALER QUOTED $1,800.00 TO FIX IT. IT APPEARS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE DIAMANTE'S. *TR”
