This is the second time I am complaining about the same problem. The end of June 2006 I drove to work and reached down to pick some stuff up off the passenger side floor mat. It ended up being soaked. At first I thought some water had come in because the past few days our area had torrential rains. When I got home the next day I took up the floor mat to dry it out and notice all the liquid under it was greenish yellow. In my mind I went crazy because the same thing had happened to me a year and 2 weeks earlier. Once again the heater core became faulty and poured the engine coolant into the passenger spaces. Wonderful, since my wife was 8 months pregnant, great for her to be breathing those chemicals. I have to say I was fortunate that it didn't leak on any of the computer components, like has happened to others, especially while I was driving. Would have definitely caused a safety issue. It just blows my mind that I have had to pay for the same service twice in about a year, on a car that has less than 80,000 miles on it. I really hope the NHTSA looks into making this a recall issue, because it is just happening to too many consumers. Just imagine all those people who don't even know they can file a complaint. Yes, I know there were no deaths or injuries in my case, but when the coolant leaks on the computer brain of the car, it could become a real issue if driving on the highway or navigating crowded streets in town. The power stearing or antilock brakes would shut down if the computer crashed from getting wet.
