I have had an ongoing problem w/antifreeze smell, I have taken it in to shop several times the last having a hose to the transmission replaced which seemed to temporarily remove problem for about a year but the smell is coming back. It took three visits to find it the first time..

At 40,000 miles coolant fumes commenced to come into vehicle while driving. Vehicle been in / out of dealer's shop on seven occasions, and made various repairs, but problem still reoccurring. Consumer first complained of an anti-freeze smell in engine compartment and cab, an independent mechanic stated that a head gasket had blown, however dealer stated nothing was wrong, consumer went to another dealer who replaced head gasket, after repair consumer could still smell antifreeze, in October dealer found a hole in the heater hose and replaced it, smell was still present so consumer had engine steam cleaned which still did not get rid of odor, the odors were causing consumer's face to get numb and caused him to get sleepy, finally 2 orings were found leaking in the plastic neck of the core. Transmission fluid leak when at idle, dealer replaced 2 hose clamps for coolant lines. Cruise control cuts out and engine races when going uphill.
