I had the same problem with my OZ. Clutch lost pressure and the dealership wont fix it. I took it to them 2 different times and wont fix it. The clutch had to much free play about 3.5 inches and the book says no more then 2 the max and I told the guys and they got heated with me and told me i was wrong. I read the manual to them. I wasted my time with them. a year later they still wont fix my damn clutch. I have to be very gentle with my car till i get a after market one i guess. Mitsu's products and service on columbus ohio sucks big donkey *****.

 

which dealer did you go to in columbus

 

only 6k miles and they are denying warranty?!?!
this is pure BS..
yes it is a wear item...but i dun any moron can burn out a clutch THAT FAST...

 

6k miles is not normal wear

i dont care what anybody says

 

Just out of curiousity, since I don't have an Evo, has anyone read posts here that suggest it's not actually the clutch wearing out, but the pressure plate. Granted, while people are replacing one, they're likely to replace both, but from what I've read, I gathered the clutch disc was actually in decent shape and the pressure plate was the problem piece. If that's the case, then approaching it like that will probably help as the pressure plate is not a warranty item - if the clutch still looks good and pressure plate is worn, I should think there's little evidence of "normal wear and tear."

Threat of legal action is probably the only thing that will get mitsu to pull there heads out of there asses. Threat of a class action lawsuit would probably do more.

And mitsu wounders why the cars arn't selling.... hmm between dealer price gougeing and the techline jerkoffs telling the service departments that every problem people have with the evo is a "normal characteristic" what the F do they expect.

Leave it to Mitsu to F up something as beautifull as the evo.

And even worse, if you replace the factory clutch/pressureplate then mitsu has cause to void the powertrain warranty because the after market clutch could overload the powertrain.

 

You want to give a dealership problem.goto the local DMV.i think a DMV can also revolk a dealerships liscenes doto multiple complaints and law suits.few years back i had a rear end go on me.they said i broke it with only 2000 miles on the clock,and it was one of the big name german cars.they said were not paying i said im complaining at DMV.then they said well have a new rear end in the car in 2 days sir.

 

Welcome to the world of Mistubishi....what I cannot understand is the how or why they screw over their customers so blatantly. How do they expect to build ANY customer loyalty after all those years of HIDING CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, and then do the same freaking thing again!

(*By the way...they fully cancelled my warranty, so I make sure to tell everyone how they screwed me over...bad news travels fast Mitsubishi. By the way...you just lost a customer that buy a LOT of cars..hope it was worth it to you.)

 

why are they cancelling your warranty

 

My vehicle was entered in a road rally (98% normal highway driving with stops at tracks where you would turn 2 or 4 laps then back on the highway again). Funny thing is when I bought the car they were saying it was okay for me to do that (liars!!). They did not even have the guts to tell me the warranty was totally cancelled. They made it sound like they were denying just one claim. I found out about the cancellation when I was thinking of trading the car and the Honda dealer said, "Ummm...your warranty is void". I was sooo mad..the Mitsubishi reps never had the guts to even tell me. The last time I spoke to them he was saying he would , "..try and call someone to help me out," and I NEVER heard back.

It really stinks that a good car can be so screwed over by a BAD manufacturer. I tell everyone of my customers to stay away from Mitsubishi....

 

So let me get this straight. You raced your car and now you are mad about mitsu not paying for somthing you broke? Did you even think about reading the warranty before racing the car? You must have known Mitsubishi might not support the warranty when they learned of the racing.

Reading this entire thread, I don't see any reason to be upset with mitsubishi.

 

They should not be the case the warrenty states-1 year or 12,000. on the clutch against defect,talk to the rep again and read the warrenty to him,the burden of proof that is was neglect is on him not you!

 

lies

don't believe them

similar **** happened to me

post up here, too

 

Guy, i'v said it before and I will say it again,don't you guys thinks Mitsu is reading this thread,think about it you can take them to court but all they need to do is show some of these post,GUESS who will win,gota go at this smarter,but look at the flipside how warrenty claim are made and fix and it was clear the problem was due to neglect,not defect,stop thinking so one sided.

 

Um...did you READ your warranty? You can't scream about it when both you and they know that you can't do that. Things they say don't supercede what's on the contract you sign.
