WHILE DRIVING WITHIN THE CITY IN WINTER, THE WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY BECAME FOGGED OVER AND THE SMELL OF COOLANT WAS NOTICED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD AND HAD TO PULL OVER. AFTER PARKING I NOTICED A SMALL DRIP OF COOLANT UNDER THE CENTER CONSOLE. A LOCAL INDEPENDENT GARAGE FOUND THE HEATER CORE TO BE RUPTURED. THE HEATER CORE WAS REPLACED. *TR

THE CAR WAS STEERING FUNNY AND PULLING TO THE LEFT ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKING. I HEARD A METAL BANG NOISE AT ONE POINT AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THE CROSSMEMBER SUBFRAME FRACTURED WHICH WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I WAS "LUCKY" TO HAVE MADE IT TO THE GARAGE. *TR
