| 2008 | SUSPENSION | ON WEDNESDAY MORNING 4/24/2013 AFTER NIGHT SHIFT I WENT OUTSIDE TO START MY CAR 5-10 MINUTES EARLY JUST LIKE ANY OTHER TIME PRIOR TO DRIVING. I PUT MY CAR IN GEAR TO PULL AWAY AND A SERVICE SIGNAL WENT OFF STATING "MAINTNENCE REQUIRED" WITH A DEPICTION OF A TRANSAXEL AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION IN "MOTION". I THEN PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BREAK TO INSPECT. THE AWC FUNCTION WOULD NOT WORK, "TARMAC" TO "GRAVEL" TO "SNOW". THE NEXT DAY I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO D'AMBROSIO MITSUBISHI FOR THEIR TECHNICIANS TO LOOK AT IT AND REPAIR IT. THEY DID THE USUAL MAINTNENCE OIL CHANGE, FLUID CHECK, TIRE ROTATION ETC LIKE I HAVE DONE EVER 2500 MILES. THE TECHNICIANS DISCOVERED THE S-AWC PUMP HAD SEIZED UP AND THAT THE PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HE STATED IT WOULD COST $2500.00 TO REPLACE, I ASKED WHAT I HAD DONE TO CAUSE SUCH A CATASTROPHIC EVENT; THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS A FLAW CAUSED BY MITSUBISHI AND THERE WAS NOTHING I HAD DONE OR DID NOT DO TO CAUSE THIS. I THEN LEFT AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M GOING TO DO NOW THAT I HAVE A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CAR THAT IS MEANT TO BE A FULL TIME ALL WHEEL DRIVE CAR, NOW ITS SITTING UNDER A TARP AND I TAKE THE BUS OR GET A RIDE. *TR |
