If you have any ideas I'm open to suggestions. I just can't have my life revolving around my car any longer.

Spend 100-200 to get a layer to draw up a letter, or call them or take is somewhere else. You car sounds screwed up and carmax DOES go through them VERY well, you are going to get screwed with all of them problems.

I made the mistake of not test driving it. I towed it home so I wouldn't have to drive it on the highway (yes I'm that ****)

Don't all Evo owners lives revolve around thier cars?



A few firm calls, emails, letters, documentation of problems ought to do the trick.

That's unbelievable, you really need to take it to the stealership and tell them about all the problems your having. They can look at your computer to see if you abused the car and obviously you haven't so then they will have to do something. you can't just bend over and take this from mitsu, they sold you a ****ty car and they should pay!

This is NOT typical, dude. Let Mitsu fix it or don't rag about it. I'm sorry that you have some **** so bad that you can't do anything about it. I understand being frustrated.

Yours is NOT the normal experience. If you're willing to give up, OK. I DO understand. Just so that you know you aren't the normal experience.

Peace! Take care! Be well! We'd welcome you back should you choose to work with it...

Oh, believe me I know. My car is a lemon, plain and simple. My greatest fear was getting a lemon car. I had a 97 cobra that was a lemon as well, and figured lemon couldn't strike twice...

Didn't you post the same thing like 3 times already asking for advice?
And everyone already told you to call Mitsu and complain but you refuse
Somehow I think you're fake.
If not, listen to what people tell you and stop whining.
If you can't do it yourself, spend those 5-6k you will lose on the sale and get a lawyer.

Man, my dad bought a new Saturn Vue about a month ago with no miles onit, after about 2,000 miles there was this rattle noise coming from the window.

The next day he was in a brand new one and with a free bike rack or whatever they are on top. Saturn dealership is awesome. They sent him a box of cookies too.

Just so you know, I'm thinkin' this stinks, dude... don't come her to raise negative ****...

If you're real I do sympathize. Perhaps your luck is truly that bad. Otherwise, find another hobby/pursuit...

Nope, not me. I went to 4 different dealerships, all blew me off. I'm not fake. I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.

Read this guys posts. I doubt he would go to all of this trouble just to bash the Evo. Although you are so ****, what may be a "horrible" rattle to you, may just be the engine idle to the rest of us.

I have NEVER heard of anyone towing the car home from the dealership so as to not drive it. Your break in must have been a chore!
