TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE. THE CONTACT STATED HE NOTICED AN UNUSUAL ODOR OF COOLANT AND THE NEUTRAL INDICATOR BEGAN SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE CONTACT FOUND COOLANT LEAKING ONTO THE FLOORBOARD. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO START. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND DETERMINED THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE A.T. CONTROL RELAY AND PRODUCED CODE P1751. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 60,000. UPDATED 10/27/10. *LJ

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

I PURCHASED A USED 2003 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE FROM BANKSTON DODGE IN 2007. IT WAS CLEAN AND RAN WELL. THERE WAS AN UNUSUAL ODOR INSIDE, BUT SMELLED AS IF IT COULD HAVE BEEN WHAT THE DEALERSHIP USED TO CLEAN THE INSIDE. IT TURNED OUT TO BE ANTI-FREEZE. THE VEHICLE HAD A HEATER CORE LEAK PRIOR TO OUR PURCHASE. RECENTLY THE GAS GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING. *TR
