I don't think I would want to take this car out of town, This foolish problem happened to me twice within a 4 months span and both times in the middle of the night. Once the temp was around 20 degrees. I had no heat and had to wait over an hour for help. The second time at 2 am in the middle of town on a Sunday morning a couple of days ago.

I think this should be a recall item, some people are charge up to $500 to replace both hoses and a promise that it will happen again..
