Description of the problem	When using the heater in my cruze there is an odor of antifreeze inside the cab. When the heater is used for more than 10 - 15 minutes at a time, the odor got so strong that it caused headache, dizziness, and nausea. I took the car in for repair and was informed that gm had sent a memo because it was a common problem. They performed the repairs recommended by gm which was to replace weatherstripping around the heater core and replace a tube at the overflow tank. However, when i used the heater that same night, i discovered that it still emitted an odor of antifreeze, although it was not as strong as before and i could use the heater for a longer period of time without getting the headache, dizziness, and nausea.
