Description of the problem | Sickening coolant smell when heater is on hot position. This occurs regularly. It is an awful sickening smell coming from the heating vents. The higher the fan speed the worse it gets. It does not occur if heat control is not on hotter settings which are necessary in winter. Although not an immediate safety issue i believe it to be a health concern as the fumes are strong. |
