Anyone Up For Protesting In Long Island, Ny???
I'd try coordinating something with Fox5 on your side, or at least News12. That is if you can get a few people there. I've heard News12 will come out on just about any news story now...
A friend of mine organized a protest due to union issues at his small hardware job and was able to get them to come out. Negative publicity is always the ultimate leverage...

A guy who worked for ford told me to do this when I had problems with my wifes cougar. He said a guy did that almost exact same thing and he wasnt out there more than 2 or 3 hours before regional manager showed up, and took care of everything

My dad did that w/ a suburban back in '94...Ever 2 hours he would move the vehicle a few feet so that it wouldn't be towed or assumed a stranded vehicle....It worked, they did lemon law on the SUB and we got a new one....

Not hating and not a troll (unless in OT.) but just not my style. My weekend time is worth more $$ to me than incurring the cost on my own to fix and uprate my own tranny. But then again I'm confident I could work it out with my dealer as well if I had to without resorting to this silliness.

In my head I know this is BS and it shouldnt be moving but whatever, i love my clutch and I'm happy to have the car back and i'm assured that if there is a problem i can bring it back. I make i to my town, 20 mins away, and i cant get the car into 3rd gear no matter what i do.
2ND TRIP- So i go home and being it back in the AM skipping 3rd cuz no matter what u do it wont go in. they take the car, fix the problem and i get it back 4 days later. shifter still moves in 1st but 3rd seems ok. 2 days later car will barely go into any gear at all. very hard to get into gear. (they later told me they put the 3rd gear synchro upside down)
3RD TRIP- I bring it back and they say its because Of the gear oil I gave them (redline shock proof 75W90) BUT they figure better safe then sorry and rebuild it again this time. So I get it back and drive it around. from a stop its very hard to get into first and reverse and it shifts rough overall but I dont care at this point cuz I've been without my car what seems like forever. Car is going good for almost 2 weeks when this past thurs night i'm cruising down the highway doing 60mph on my cell with my Gf going to a bar and I smell what seems like rubber burning. I pull over and then pop the hood and look under the car to see if something is burning or rubbing against my tires. nothing. the car is making this sound that sounds like my tranny is a lottery machine full of rocks with numbers on them. Def at least 2000 rocks just bouncing around. I was scared to keep looking at it cuz I thought something was going to blow out of the bell housing and take my head off
4TH TRIP- I drive it to the dealer turning every head of anyone walking around because people think i'm dragging a fleet of shopping carts behind me. "Nah thats just my mitsu tranny" I leave my car there overnight and now the guy calls me and says "if this because of abuse then its not gonna be covered" i say WTF only 5th was messed up when I ordered it but now every other thing has went wrong.
well they told me that two tech reps from mitsu just so happen to come in last friday and told them they better not be warranting my car because of the mods. So in his words "Theres nothing we can do for you anymore"
I'm now picking up my car with a flatbed and I bought a TRE tranny for 2650$ and i'm having gary (mitsubishigraveyard.com) install it.
I'm probably going to sue them. I might even sit in my car every saturday and play playstation with a huge banner on the side of my car that says "ISLAND JEEP SCREWED ME"
FOR ANYONE WHO DOESNT WANT TO READ THE WHOLE STORY, BASICALLY I BROUGHT THEM MY CAR ORIGINALLY FOR A SLIGHT 5TH GEAR GRIND AND NEW CLUTCH/FLYWHEEL INSTALL. THEY GAVE ME MY CAR BACK IN WORSE CONDITION THEN I BROUGHT IT THERE IN. SINCE THEN I KEPT GETTING MY CAR BACK WORSE THEN I GOT IT. NOW THEY BASICALLY KICKED ME OUT AND PROBABLY VOIDED MY WARRANTY FOR THEIR POOR WORKMANSHIP.

Now I dont know who you are but i'm 20 years old and i pay for my own car. I put 6000$ down and financed it myself. i pay 585.28$ a month for this car. I'f I';m going to pay 36k (after tax) for a 2005 loaded Evo, then i want it to run right and if something goes wrong i expect the owners of "THE BEST BACKED CARS IN AMERICA" to do something about it. I'll be doing this on saturdays only. Since I have a TV deck in my car i'll play gran turismo if i get bored.
