Brampton Mitsu is a little iffy, the last time I went there for the squeaking suspension they said it's due to the cold and needs lube but it was still doing later that day! so am I supposed to do it myself everyday?!? And a note was written on the service sheet NOTE: Car is HEAVILY modified! WTF? Cold-Air/Exhaust/HID's (they can't see the pully) is heavily modified?

so this squeaking suspension has not been fixed??

damn i hope when i go for my first oil change they will do something about the squeaking suspension...
i met the service manager at brampton mitsu (Chong or something like that) and he seemed like a nice guy.

yea the car has to be warmed up before the windows will defrost,its like that in every car

Infamous_pt4

yo i get that too,but only for like the first 5 mins when its cold out,once the car warms up and gets moving it goes away, only does it in the cold tho

My mom's Cavalier starts workin' almost right away.

It takes about a half an hour to do my whole windshield... just annoyin cuz half the time in the morning I don't have a half an hour to let it defrost so I slouch down and peak out the little hole that's been made ....

so i have had the 08 for a yr and a half now,40k on it,all the issues most ppl are posting i have never had,accept the not starting,and squeeking suspension which is due to the cold,the fake cf stuff does fade but i thought it was due to the armor all,i hear it dries out rubber and fades stuff blah blah so i blame the fake cf fading on that,ill just paint it if it gets bad no worries,so based on what everyone is saying my question to everyone is,am i lucky or am i in for a rude awakening soon?

no problem...I would never wish the problems and having to deal with a dealership like Dixie to my worst enemy. Nobody should ever have to go through problems as I did with that dealership and with a car that is so new.

When you have to deal with liars at a dealership like Chris Cooke, Zahid Ghaffar, and Nauman Bangash the outcome will never be good at all. You just can't trust these types of people when your car is in their dealership.

Realignment will help. Just do not align to stock specs anymore. Toe out 1/16 or 2mm. That will help the tracking of the sterring. We change that on our cars first thing when we get them.

I don't understand Mitsubishi and this thing they have when any of their cars under warranty is modified...they just look for any reason to void a warrarnty so they have one less customer to worry about. Oops my bad, what customers do they worry about?

Even if you were to take your car into the dealership with mods such as a suspension it more than likely betters the car then the crap suspension the lancers have.

I just love that little inspection report they do anytime you bring your car in for service so they can hand over to Mitsubishi Canada. I found it very funny one day when I found the sheet in my car with tons of little circles all over showing all the paint damage the car has...yet they claim the paint damage is caused by highway driving. lol

The non-starting thing for me started happening in the summer. Has nothing to do with the cold, unless you meant just the suspension.

Mine doesn't squeak that I know of but then again my music is so loud I can't even hear cops coming up behind me...

Not all paint is horrible. The couple 2 houses down from my parents have an 08 eclipse with 68K on it. They go to Vancouver at least once a month, so in the winter there is lots of gravel. I went over there yesterday to check their's out. It was freshly washed and I checked the whole exterior out. Not 1 single rock chip anywhere on the car. They said they had no 3M kit or nothing. I then showed them my car and they couldn't believe my car was only 6 months old. must have thought they could save $$ on the lancer paint or just forgot and now don't want to look bad so won't admit it. I'm heading to my local dealer in a hour or so to talk to the service manager and regional rep again. I'll let you guys know what happens.

Are these people in the service dept?

It's happened once, but the second time they did reset it, but because they forgot the first time, the inspection is all messed up. I'm suppose to go in next week, but it says 9000KM left till next inspection.

I wouldnt worry about the warranty, They have no authority to strip you of your Warranty, that letter has to come from Mitsubishi, and to date I havent seen one. Your warranty agreement is with Mitsubishi North America no the dealership, they are just a proxy.
