statements like that proove you have NO CLUE what your talking about and make me have a few doubts to whether or not you are even an honest person, SUBS SHAKE THE CRAP OUTTA YOUR CAR AND DO AFFECT YOUR ROOFLINE!!! next time your thumping down the street get out and watch your roof i bet it shakes violently when the sub punches. hmm......might affect the SUNROOF just a little. mitsu's sun and sound package is TESTED to operate within stress levels for your sunroof hence it will be covered. THE BOTTOM LINE IS YOU CHANGED IT SO THEY WONT COVER IT PERIOD (appologies if i offended anyone as this was not my intention ) rant off

 

Big sound systems do rattle cars apart it is quite obvious that you have to tighten down screws to keep stuff from coming loose. And I did have a mirror fall off of my old car, all I did was get a screwdriver and put it back on, no big deal. That's what two fifteens and 500 watts will do. There's no way someone should get warrantied for this and is in no way a sign that the car is not built well.

Oh yeah, and...

 

Jeez I hear nothing good about Mitsu warranty service. I have a feeling that if I install a cd player in my RS with two 5 inch speakers, they will deny all claims because I messed with the electrical. Kind of makes we want to keep it stock in all respects. I suppose I can drive with headphones; lol.

 

A quick glance over the previous posts seem to confirm this, I am sorry, and must have gotten posts or maybe even threads mixed up.

However my point does hold true since you do bring up the rally point. This is a full interior street driven car, not a stripped, heavily modded rally car.

I think you just went off without thinking about the repercussions of your actions in putting a system in your car. I have a 12" in my Stealth, but I certainly wouldn't take it to the dealership complaining of rattling rear panels. They have become a little loose, and it is because of what I did.

I just see a plain cause/effect thing going on here. I am not flaming or attacking you, but maybe you need to take another look at the situation.

When I do buy my EVO, I will prob. tint it and thats it for a while. I will make sure there are no probs with it (manufacturer defects and such) then slowly do things to it. Even then I will be very careful not to give them any reason to deny a claim under reasonable circumstances. Thats the way I look at things. JMO.

Best of luck to you with your car.

 

in the rs version ALL of the electrical wiring is already in the car ready to have speakers and a headunit installed, i dont see any problems with that add-on and no dealership will deny that. you arent screwing with the electrical system you are just adding speakers and face unit you arent rewiring the car

 

Umm, you misread again, as I was not the one who actually put the subwoofers in any car. I was merely sticking up for the guy who got screwed due to a stingy company, and a poorly built car. Yes the Evo is fast, but its not durable. If a company comes out with a product that is sub-par with quality, those who have the applicable warrenty, should rightly get their cars repaired. Did Mitsu not think that anyone would put a woofer in their car? (who's EVER heard of that? ) The point is, if they had put the effort in, in the first place, then they wouldn't have to tick off their customers by dismissing their warrenties through a technicality. They are pissing on their target demographic, and turning first time buyers into... *only* time buyers. That's a horrible way to do business, and I think it speaks volumes for Mitsu's current financial situation.

 

You're wrong. The Evo is a finely built car. This "denial" or secondhand story has nothing to do with Mitsus financial predicament. Even if they were rolling in cash like Toyota they would still deny this guy's "claim."

 

If the car was built by Toyota... then the car wouldn't have broken in the first place.

 

#1 I'm not blind, but I am a fan. I've been building up 4G63's probably longer than you've been driving. Your narrow-minded views on how everyone else should pay for your actions make me think that you are young or immature....most likely a bit of both. Also, if you think Mitsu is going broke because of them NOT shelling out stupid warranty claims, then you are grossly mistaken. Back when the GSX and the 3KGT VR-4's were on the market, they WERE giving quite a few people the benifit of the doubt on things. Lots of clutches and transmissions got replaced on the company's dime, even when they were abused. Those were some of the first all wheel drive turbocharged cars that had come to the US, and most of the Mustang / Camaro / Firebird drivers thought you could beat on them like you could their RWD sled cars. The Evo was a way for Mitsu to try and get back on top of things in the US market. It's downfall will be the people who try and scam some retarded warranty claim like this. It's stupid. Let the children trade in their cars. Someone with some maturity will buy them and not expect for everything in life to be handed to them on a silver platter. If you owned a business, what would you rather have:

- A group of people who buy the car for what it's worth and accept anything that goes wrong with it when they do modifications.

or...

- A group of people who buy the car, modify it, and then expect you to cover ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that goes wrong with it when they have added parts to it that you have never seen before.

You have to draw the line somewhere. If that aftermarket stereo equipment was to have started an electrical fire and the occupants were killed, would Mitsu be liable for that?


Yeah, their rear spoilers just wobble around when they hit bumps......

 

You are either very poor at humor or logic - probably both. Every Toyota has a limited warranty, every Toyota dealership has a service department behind it, so therefore they do break. Right now 775,000 Toyota trucks need ball joints so their drivers don't lose steering control and 5,000 Avalons might need new steering columns.

Have you ever been to a sound off or SPL competition? Do you see what they have to do to fortify the vehicles for competition use? None of them even resemble usable vehicles anymore. The interiors are stripped, windows replaced with bullet proof glass or thick lexan, doors welded shut. But even on a much smaller scale with a more "everyday" type of sound system, any car could use the benefit of dynamat, loctitie, or expandable foam to get rid of the rattles and loose screws that will show up.

 

Used to happen to me all the time, they're right about it.
