Have had two problems.

1) hose from intercooler to intake blew off. ( no big deal)

2) Pull out of garage and there's a puddle of oil the size of lake michigan. Come to find out there was an oil plug in by the cams that had been overtighted and cracked. Service manager said there has been 11 other cases according to that have had this problem.

but so far the dealership has given me a rental and no static whatsoever. I just miss my EVO.

 

How long did they tell you that it would take to fix?

 

damn man...sorry to hear. hope it gets fixed soon...my IX's been perfect so far..and i really hope it stays that way with all these horror stories.

 

Damn I love my 03 more and more everyday

 

Said till thrusday, had to order the plug.

 

sorry to hear not a problem here on my IX either

 

sorry to hear 'bout your problem with the oil. my IX has been solid (she's got 15k+), no problems at all. knock on wood.

bet u can't wait till you get her back huh?

 

Well, your never gonna hear about the thousands that are perfect, just the one's that have problems. I've had a few cars and i understand these things can happen. As long as the problem gets fixed and they take care of me in the interm (rental car) i'll be happy.

 

Yea theyll fix it no worries. Just sucks to have down time with a car you want to drive so bad

 

atleast they are fixing it, tell to give you a free oil change

 

i just couldnt leave my evo at the dealer....just a personal thing. If they work on it, i either watch them or wait by the entrance/exit to see if they wanna try and mess with anyting.....good luck, hope you get it back on thursday

 

If there was a huge oil puddle did you nend up starting your car with very low oil? If so, I'd complain about the potential damage that resulted from starvation, low pressure, etc. If it was less than a quart, that's different.

 

ouch! that sucks! They should have given you a IX as a rental for the inconvenience

 

+1

 

I know exactly what you mean. I've seen how the hacks at my mitsu dealership work on Evo's. I'd ask for the repair instructions and do it myself. I pray that my Evo never has to go to the dealer.
