There's no service records of the car being repaired prior to my purchase, and basically it'll be my words against thiers.
I've filed a complaint against the dealership to Mitsubishi Motors USA. Once I secure a buy back, I'll then explore my options for redemption against the dealership.

It's clear the dealer beat the crap out of the car before selling it as new.
good luck..

Regardless, the cars that are bought back are slapped with a big orange NOT FOR SALE sticker and the VIN is blacklisted. If Mitsu strips and sells parts I don't know, but they will NOT sell the car as is.

look, I don't want any cross-board bashing here. The guys at columbusdsm just got small taste of the story and didn't know the whole picture.
Thank you chris for helping out.

I had complained about the smell of burning oil, and they found oil leaking from the transfer case. They need to replace that seal and then it should be ready. Projected date tomorrow, Friday.

Well some good news finaly.
I got the car back today and it's running great. I'm still going to talk to the regional rep. But it looks like they finally got it right.
