Anyone else have their heater core go out. I have 83,000 miles on the 2005 and I had been smelling coolant for 3 days, on the third day the girlfriend and I saw white smoke pour out of the dash vents. I look at her and said I think the heater core is blown.
Sure enough just got the word back from the dealership and its the heater core, will take 5.9 man hours to change it I am told. Can you say ouch on the pocket book. I this job sucks just as bad as it did on my 92 camaro I know I don't want to do it again, I will let them replace it.
