Take it to another dealer tell them look the cars making a noise fix it all u have to say dont give any bull**** excuses, and make sure to take ur mods off. Have u tryed to contact a district rep? My friend had a problem with mazda on his mazda speed called a district rep and the dealer damn sure fixed the car for him. He had solid motor mounts and his lsd snapped 2nd time it happen and they said oh b/ of the motor mounts they wouldnt fix it. Just dont let someone give u the run around

 

Well, it took him around 4 months to realise that learning stick on an Evo can be a costly mistake...........

I hate to hear it when some dealerships act that way, but the fact that they know you put their dirty laundry out for all to see is kinda funny. All around bad situation for all parties involved though.

 

sorry, double post (erased)

 

Sorry to hear of all the problems. I knew the moment you posted that the Evo had engine mods, the dealer would bring up something about that (unless they did it?). And regarding your update, be very aware of libel advertising law. Since your on the wrong foot with these guys already, advertising publicly in town might bring to the forefront another problem-lawsuit? Watch your back man. Good luck.

 

do you know what MMCA stands for? Mitsubishi Motor Credit. Nothing to do with your problem, they are the financing arm of MMNA. I work for Mitsu. It seems to me you have a issue with the service department of that dealership. If you feel they have wronged you, then take if up with someone higher in the service chain. I have seen many many EVO owners do damage to their cars. Most of them have done things with their cars that the dealers do not know about, but the dealer cannot prove it. But I have also seen many owners of EVOs who have abused their cars and come crying when things are not fixed under warranty. Dealer service departments are not dumb. They have numerous customers coming in with all sorts of complaints. They also have a dedicated natonal training school that is constantly using and abusing the every mitsu model to find problems that may occur due to both failure in design and user error. They relay found info and scenarios through "tech talks" to let the dealers and techs know what to look out for. If you feel that your car has failed due to something not occuring under normal driving conditions, then fight it with the people higher up in the regional service. But if you know that once you overrevved and you felt your rpms go too high and you now that you caused damage, then face up to it and pay for it.

The fact is nobody here was with you in your car when this thing happened. Also they can use any aftermarket mods against you. If you have a stiffer than stock type spring in your BOV, it can often cause over revving, even when you have let off the throttle. Techs are trained to find problems in a factory setup.

Instead of venting about how much Mitsubishi sucks and the whole lot, take it up with the people that can possibly deal with and remedy our problem.

 

Man, you are digging a deep hole for yourself, you are giving them so much to work with its not even funny. Why don't you just list out all the things you have done that could be looked at as abuse in a nice numbered list and make it even easier for them.

 

Go back and delete some of your posts. At least edit them so they don't look like you messed something up.

Still sucks though.

 

Love evo. hate mitsubishi or itsasushi

 

This whole thread is funny. This guy absolutely shot himself in the foot. Why can't people admit to their mistakes and suck it up? The whole part about not having 5g sitting around to pay for things they did is funny. This is the whole software theft argument - I don't have the money to pay for it, so I'll steal it!!! GREAT!!!!

 

IT SHOULDN'T MATTER ONE WAY OR THE OTHER YOU GOT THE WARR. IT SHOULD BE COVERED PERIOD.
OVERREV. DOESNT HOLD A CANDLE IN COURT.
UNLESS YOU PUT AFTERMARKET PARTS ON THE CAR
GET A LAWYER.

HOW MANY CAR DEALERS IN THE USA CHARGE FOR THE WARR. AND PEOPLE DONT EVEN USE THEM. ITS ALWAY THE PEOPLE ON THE CONSUMER SIDE GETTING SCREWS
PUT TO THEM. LET THE OWNER OF THE DEALER HAVE TO PAY FOR SOME OF THE S**T OUT OF THERE OWN POCKET OR DON'T SELL THE CAR WITH A WARR.

 

Keep telling them he over-revved the car. great job. He is trying to rip-off mitsu for his own mistake and you are helping him get caught lying. thanks!

 

first of all, on a car with "factory warranty" the dealer does not sell it with the car. it comes with it. Maybe when you bought your car the dealer may have thrown something additional in (tire warranty, extended warranty) that you did not take the time to read on your contract. secondly page 6 of the owners manual

whats is not covered:

ALTERATION. MISUSE, ACCIDENT DAMAGE

line 3: misusing your vehicle, such as but not limited to driving over curbs, overloading, racing, or using your vehicle as a stationary power source.

line 4: Alteration or modification of your vehicle including but not limited to, the body, chassis, braking system, or other components.

He can go hire a lawyer if he wants to but you can see above that they have enough grounds to not cover him.

This thread is useless. For one thing I am sure the service manager at this dealership has this page in his favorites. Everyone can throw their opinions in, but the fact remains. There are guidelines to the warranty. Also if he feels he is not being treated right, let him take it up with the right people, and not complain on this forum. He needs to open his warranty manual to page 23.

 

look i knwo tore and i just wpoke with him to try and clarify the situation. he didnt over rev the car he just hit rev limiter, he didnt shift from 4th to 3rd on acident, he shifted from 4th to 5th and didnt catch. he couldnt have over reved the car hard enough to shear the bolts of the balencer. it wasnt a mechanical over rev as some people are tryin to state.
not sayin this is what happened, but couldnt that harmonic balencer that was either out of line, or just hanging compleatly off the crank have cause the crank to vibrite the bearings . . . .
the only mod he had done to the car was the BOV, and there is no way mitsu can point a finger at that nor void his warrenty claim, the part had no direct relation to the failure of the crank bearings
and i highley doubt hell be able to bring his car to another dealer, even if the records dont go from one dealer to the next, a service rep will have to come and ok it, a service rep comes out on pretty much ANY claim on an evo, let alone 5000 dollars worth of damage

lets face it he got the shaft from mitsu, but then again . . . who doesent?
BUT then again its nto totaly right to go off and bash one dealership BECAUSE, the service department gets paid one way or another, and the warentied parts dont come out of there pocket it comes out of mitsubishis pocket thats why a rep has to clear that stuff

lets face it his warrenty is shot anyway cause they are gonna find some way to void it.
Id just let joe shmoe do your work, cause after all if joe shmoe does it you wont really need that warrenty anymore anyway will ya?

basicly all the dealer is for is buying the car, i got mine brought it home ripped it to frikkin peices, and it hasnt seen the dealerhisp since, and oddly enough i havent had a headache with the car despite the many times i have abused it and/or broken it. i guess thats what happens when joe shmoe fixes his own car
