| 2002 | VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:CONTROLS/WIRING | I HAVE A 2002 MITSUBISHI LANCER AND THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB IN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO TURN SINCE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND HAS SINCE DETERIORATED. THE KNOB BROKE OFF TWO WEEKS AGO. I CONTACTED MY DEALER WHO STATED THAT I CAN NOT JUST CHANGE THE KNOB I HAVE TO CHANGE THE WHOLE UNIT WHICH WILL COST ME AROUND $ 400.00 PLUS SERVICES FEES TO INSTALL IT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM, SINCE HEATING (AND COOLING) A VEHICLE ALLOWS IT TO BE OPERABLE DURING HOT AND COLD TEMPERATURES. IT IS NOW BEGINNING TO GET COLD. I HAVE SEARCHON THE INTERNET FOR A CHEAPER TEMPERATURE CONTROL UNIT BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR |
| 2003 | POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY | I HAVE A MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION 8, PURCHASED IN MAY 2003. I HAVE 12000 MILES ON THE CAR AND I AM NOW GETTING SLIPPAGE WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR. I DID NOT ABUSE THIS CAR, I DID NOT RACE THIS CAR IN ANY WAY. IT IS A DAILY DRIVEN CAR FOR APPROX 10 MILES A DAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE CLUTCH WAS WARRANTED FOR 1000 MILES AND NO MORE. I TALKED TO AN EMPLOYEE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF OWNERS COMING FORWARD WITH CLUTCH ISSUES, AND MITSUBISHI WAS NOT SERVICING ANY OF THEM. I AM DISPLEASED THAT THE CLUTCH WOULD GO OUT AT 12,000 MILES UNDER DAILY DRIVING. *JB |
