I just got my car today...

got it today after its service to fix up my corroded harness that wasnt covered under warranty. end up paying $380 to fix. found out a few minutes right after i pulled out of their parking lot.... my 'SRS' airbag light was on. Man I was pissed.... called them up and the service manager said... bring it in this thursday and I have to pay another $100 diagnosis fee to get it checked out... thats some bull.

My SRS light never came on until I got my car serviced at the dealership.... and they are trying to put the blame on my car being modded and it effected the airbag light to go on. WTF.

If they are all dicks, then you will have to be an EVEN BIGGER dick back and make them regret treating their customers so shabby.

Write a formal complaint to Mitsubishi if they do not shape up.

That's ****ed up Jeep tried doing that to my mom. $100 deductible so they could diagnose and replace thermostat and radiator hose. Same thing happened again a little while later and they tried charging her another $100 to do the same **** After some *****ing she didn't have to pay the $100. I suggest you do the same. A lot of warranty/insurance stuff is like this, they tell people no and hope most people just give in and don't fight it, saves them money

You've got yourself a stealership... they're going to try to saddle you with another repair fee after the diagnostic 10-1 odds. I'd take it to a good local imports shop.

DON'T GET MOUNTED again dude....
