well, today I just promised myself that this is the last Mitsu car I will buy in mylife. Sucky service. I have owned more than 7 cars in the past 5 years and their customer service was great. I had enough, if my turbo was not on along with my clutch my car was going to be sold tonight. Best backed cars ( my A$$).

I gave up on Mitsu, I will rebuilt the tranny myself. Very bad customer service it seems that they are hiring kids with minimum wages so they can save money. I love the car but last Mitsu for me (promise) I guess my next car will be a Nissan or a Subaru except if Renault and Pejoet came back.

Well look at the poll above more than %70 with gearbox issues. I can care less about 4g63 bs if the tranny cant work right. I have found someone to built it for me and put the most recent (best) parts so I can have the best results. I figured I will bite my looses and never buy a car from them again. I dont care if they will have the fastest FQ400 they can $u#3.

We should get a petition together of some sort to mitsu, after all we are the people who a$s's were getting kissed when we bought their flagship, now were getting sh*Ted on! There has been enough complaints ciculated on the clutch and the tranny to warranty a response from mitsu....after all a company that wants to survive and turn things around should be willing to listen to it's customers or it's guranteed to go under!

Can I get the one who will rebuild your tranny contact? I'm tired of unable to shift into 4th gear and I don't think I can do good in track if I cannot shift.

It never happend to me before just recently. I love the car so much and I know it'll be a perfect car with better tranmission. Thanks.

oh my god, I was talking to the regional rep and Mitsu corp about my car and all I can say guys is that Mitsu is going downhill. If they keep going this way they will never ever bring their customers back. I asked him why they are not covering my EVO and he took me through these circles of excuses like un-educated person thinking that I was born yesterday. I ask him straight questions and he kept going into circles around him self. Here what I figure out, all these regional reps don’t work for Mitsu directly they are franchises and if they denied to fix your car you can go to a different area were its a different franchise and they might be able to fix it. Dealer cant look up at other dealer work order if they are out of there area (under different regional rep guy) Very sad how Mitsu handle there issues (very un-professional) When I took my car to Honda, Audi and VW the service was great. We are in a **** whole in these cars.

Let's just ask Honda to built us an AWD tranny just for our EVO's. Then all of us would be happy.

lol best backed cars.... I was laughing my a$$ off on the way back home. The good thing is that Nissan, VW, Mazda and Toyota are coming back with very fast cars in the next few years. Mitsubishi is over for me and there BS is way over.
