| 1998 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC | FRONT BRAKE DISC PADS WEAR OUT AT A VERY HIGH RATE. ALSO, THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME THIS YEAR ROTORS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS TIME THEY CONNOT BE TURNED AGAIN. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR THE DISC PAD LIFE TO BE THIS SHORT. I HAVE A TWO-YEAR OLD VEHICLE, AND BOUGHT THIS CAR TO REPLACE A CAR THAT WAS HAVING PROBLEMS. THIS CAR IS WORSE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELD AT ALL STATING BRAKES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. YOU WOULD THINK THE DEALERSHIP MIGHT REALIZE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR QUALITY SINCE THE PAD LIFE IS SO SHORT. *AK |
| 2001 | STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS | THE AIRCONDITIONER COMPRESSOR BLEW A PRESSURE VALVE BECAUSE ONE OF THE VALVES STUCK. THIS CAR IS A 2001 MISTUBISHI MIRAGE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WITH 67,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE AIR CONDITIONING IS ONLY USED FOR HALF THE YEAR AS I LIVE IN THE MIDWEST. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL COST BETWEEN $1,200 AND $1,600 DOLLARS, WHICH IS ABOUT HALF OF THE TRADE-IN VALUE. I CALLED MITSUBISHI AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE A FEELING I AM NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM.*AK |
