“A faulty gasket caused coolant to leak and as a result the coolant could be smelled inside of the vehicle. When the heater is turned on there is a loud noise. The dealer replaced the blower motor. The dealer will not repair the heater core which was recalled under 94v-006 because the vehicle is too old with too many miles.”
