>>>Only due to neglect.   Also, most cars have the heater core inside the 
cabin, with stubs going through the firewall, and the hose connects to the heater 
core on the other side of the firewall, so a hose failure is just a nuisance, 
not potentially lethal.

Over the years, I have experienced several heater hose failures on Brand X 
cars, none of them leading to anything resembling the catastrophe that can occur 
when a hose lets go under a Pantera dash at 5000 rpm....
