2002 Mitsubishi Diamante problems

Fog and mist on the inside of the windshield. Coolant levels dropped and refills were required, followed by a problem in the automatic transmission shifting and finally a check engine light warning. Mechanic found that the automatic transmission relay had been damaged by coolant leaking onto the ecu from the heater core. Coolant was also found to have leaked under the passenger side carpeting.

My front windshield was fogging up every time I used the heater and a smell of coolant inside my car--nasty film was left, found out it was a heater core problem. Sometimes the fog would take 20 minutes to clear up with defroster on highest settings. These problems are all over the internet with Mitsubishi diamantes. I am surprised that these have never been recalled for safety reasons. Visibility · reported at 60,000 miles

Windows will not defrost and odor coming from vents. Also puddle of anti-freeze on passenger floor. Did not think problems where related but they are. Heater core gasket leaking and causing the problems. $1 Gasket and $700+ labor. This is a scam from the dealership, exploit a unsafe defect and then charge an arm and a leg to get it fixed. Next they will charge for the air we breathe. Visibility
