I have a 2010 rallirt with about 5k miles on it. I heard a weird noise in the engine. The dealer has had the car for a month, then I find out that they put a second engine and it too had problems. So they are putting in a third engine. Would it be best to give up the car and get something else or just keep it?

 

What is that noise?? Could you record it and upload on YT??

 

The dealer currently has it

 

i wouldn't give up the motor in our cars is one of if not the most reliable unit in the market today with faults of around 1 in 7,000,000. Its most likely the dealers fault for the second motor failure.

I would try to get extra stuff out of the dealer for your inconvience

 

Thats sucks man, thats the dealership fault giving you a second failed engine. I hope they provide you a rental car, if they fail again the third time file a lemon car complain for them to buy back your car and get a new one.. wrx (sarcasm)

 

^Most def agree but i would also go for extra shiny bits too

 

i got a new radio, and they also are giving us a couple of months of payments

 

Its more then likely the transmission grinding because its always active and they are too stupid to know it.

 

if you get a third bad engine wouldn't the lemon law apply?

 

^you are correct. My tranny makes clunking sounds all the time, even at idle.

 

over monthly payments I would want them to just extend the warranty to 100,000 miles.

good luck i hope everything goes well.

 

So what was the engine doing? Or what noise did you hear?

 

I dont know how the dealerships are around you guys but the ones around KC thus far have prooved incapable of finding the real problems and fixing the car. I took my car in because i was getting no boost...they said it was a bad turbo. THey had it for a month, then gave it back with a new turbo...and no boost. I told them to check the IC piping because I saw a clamp missing and pipe not in the coupler....they said that wasnt the problem...I got it back pulled the bumper and clamped it all back together...ran like a charm...leave it to a non-professional to do the job. The Mitsu dealers really do not know what they are doing (at least around where i am) Good luck on the third engine....maybe find another dealer to fix it?

 

btw what does this noise sound like? Describe

 

it was a kind of knocking and clicking noise that you could hear when in the car and it was really loud outside of the car. Well i am going back to the dealer because they gave me a broken dipstick
