The heater core started to leak and my windows fogged up while driving on freeway. I almost got into a car crash because I lost my visibility.
The contact owns a 2000 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that while attempting to start his vehicle on a cold morning, the defrost feature failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they diagnosed the failure as the heater core. The dealer replaced the heater core. The current mileage was 65,700 and failure mileage was 65,600.
Since I purchase this car there has been a bad odor when the heat has been turned on, the dealer has twice tried to fix by "cleaning" the system. Cannot use heater because of this problem.
