Description of the problem | I purchased a 2010 edge limited for a gift & the next day i noticed the strong odor of antifreeze coming from the heating system. My wife also noticed the same odor when she drove it christmas day. She has taken it to the dealer it was purchased from & the local dealer & both say they can not find any problem. It is very noticeable when the engine is cold, then comes & goes through out the day. Being a mechanic for over 35 years tells me the heater core and or related components have a very small coolant leak. We have to crack a window or open the sunroof when the heat is on to let the fumes escape or you can stand to be in the car. |
