| 2008 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER IN APRIL 2007. AFTER ONLY OWNING THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS IT WOULDN'T START. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WHERE IT WAS TESTED AND EXAMINED. ALL TEST CAME BACK PERFECT. FROM THEN ON THE CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY NOT START. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME THIS OCCURRED. IT WAS IN THE SHOP 6 TIMES AND FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT 3 1/2 WEEKS. THE PROBLEM COULD NEVER BE DETECTED AND THERE FOR NEVER FIXED. I FILED A CLAIM WITH MITSUBISHI AND THE CAR WAS FINALLY DEEMED A LEMON. I RECEIVED ANOTHER BRAND NEW 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER IN OCTOBER 2007. NOW AFTER HAVING THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, THE PROBLEM IS RE-OCCURRING!! IT JUST WON'T START. THERE HAS TO BE MORE 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER OWNERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED THE ONLY TWO BRAND NEW CARS THAT ARE LEMONS!!!! *JB |
