“I work for a chrysler-Dodge auto dealership in texas. We are currently repairing a 2006 Dodge Charger heater core leak. The heater core leaked hot antifreeze onto the gas pedal and onto the leg of one of our salesman.

The heater core tubes are held on to the core by a small cheesy clamp that comes off very easy. Even the new heater core we received from chrysler tubes were half way off of the heater core.”
