Does anyone else have a problem with setting their alarm off from a distance?
I can't unlock my car unless I'm like right near it ....
I've seen people who "lose" their cars in the parking lot so they set of their alarms to follow the sound but mine doesn't do that...

What is Mitsubishi's stance on their poor paint job. As a consumer, do we have any rights regarding a poor product that they obviously know about.
Can anything be done on there side to fix this problem?

Last year when I had the 08 GTS, the one thing that annoyed me most was the poor paint job. There was a tiny scratch on the edge of my roof, probably caused by a stone chip on the highway. No biggie I thought, but after a while the surrounding areas of the paint started to chip away, and after a week the stone chip grew to the size of a penny. Rust also started forming very quickly, and I had to take it to a body shop to get it sanded off and touched up with paint and clearcoat.
During one of the periodic inspections I complained about the poor quality of the paint, pointed out to the aforementioned chipping of the paint on the roof to which I was told "try not to scratch the paint up!".. I simple laughed at the service rep and left.. (and subsequently sold the lancer 2 weeks later).

Problems I have had with mine have been the following:
- car pulled to the left--rotated tires and that actually went away......
- paint quality is brutal ! paint chips like crazy
- fog lights bulbs burning out quickly
- suspension makes noises in cold weather
- RPM's staying too high when downshifting
- very poor customer service from Scarborough Mitsubishi

yes but unfortunately I cant say too much since its all happening on low levels and very quickly, but i am hoping we will have a resolution to all or most of Mitsu's quality issues.
I am encouraged by the assistance I am getting from Mitsu Corp.
I will be making a proposal to Mitsu Canada shortly as well as USA

In all honesty what really will happen? Free paint jobs for all? don't think so...free car washes? lol probably...that to Mitsubishi is resolving the paint issue
Face it, we can't hold our breathes and expect Mitsubishi to finally do something about all these problems, they just won't fix them. It's up to every owner to fix these problems at their expense because if Mitsubishi was to do something it would of been done a long time ago. Lets just look at the paint issue for now, is this the first Mitsubishi product to have these issues? nope, because its been going on already for years and it was never taken care of.
