Car during the winter months has a very strong anti-freeze smell inside of cabin when heat is on. Noticeable film or fog on window from vents that is hard to clean off. Smell bad enough to cause headaches. The vehicle has been to the dealer ship mechanic twice for this incident were the mechanic states nothing is wrong with the vehicle. Although the mechanic did agree there was 'some sort' of film on the window. He stated on both occasion that he could not smell anything or find anything wrong with the car.
