About 3 weeks ago I had my radiator changed. Now, my car is acting like it's going to cut out although, I don't think that has anything to do with the main problem. Now I am smelling antifreeze through my vents and today while driving, could not get my windows to defrost no matter what I tried. What could this be? And thank you for your help.

Hi there,

the smell may be a leak with in the heater core, this would also account for the non defrost problem, get the cooling system pressure tested for leaks, do it hot and with the heater on, start here.
