| 2002 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR | RECURRING AND SEVERE FRONT BRAKE CHATTER. DESPITE REPEATED REPAIR, THE FRONT BRAKES CHATTER ON BRAKING SO MUCH THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. THE BRAKING STRENGTH IS SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED AND BRAKING DISTANCE SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS DUE TO THE REAR BRAKES BEING OUT OF ADJUSTMENT CAUSING THE FRONT BRAKES TO WORK "TOO HARD" RESULTING IN WARPED ROTORS. THEY WILL NOT COVER THESE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPAIR ONLY LASTS ABOUT 3000 MILES AT BEST. *JB |
| 1994 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | THE HARMONIC BALANCER SUDDENDLY BROKE ONE DAY AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK.THE MITSUBISHI DEALER SAID THAT IT SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMOM OCCURANCE AND COMPLAINT AND THEREFORE HAD MANY PARTS IN STOCK. SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THEY HAVE TO STOCK A LOT OF THESE PARTS THEN MAYBE A BETTER LOOK AT THE MANUFACTURING OF THEM SHOULD BE TAKEN. |
