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.
