Just got the passenger airbag recall done at South Coast Mitsubishi in Costa Mesa, CA, no problem - 5 star service

 

get yourself an alarm ASAP before someone steals your $9000.00 seats.

 

Definitely next on the list and already planning to have it installed soon. Believe me, I can barely have the car parked somewhere for like 10 minutes without feeling paranoid.

 

also make sure to remove aftermarket stuff on dashboard to avoid hassle/ extra labor charge.

 

What the heck kinda seats u got? 9k?

 

that's the dealer charge on the SSL seats. get yours stolen and find out the hard way, like I did when your insurance company is considering totaling your car.

I replaced them with real Recaro sports in black leather which have cushion extensions and adjustable lumber support for $1200.00 each. Of course, I had to get custom seat brackets made.

 

WOW! I gotta reassess the value of my 2003 Evo 8. It has SSL seats - probably worth more than the rest of the car.

 

If I have a fully built stroker engine, fully modified. Will my airbag install be voided? lol

 

engine has nothing to do with an airbag. this is a potential lawsuit issue, not a warranty issue.

 

My warranty has been void since 2005 and they installed my new airbag with a single question asked. although every guy in the service department opened my hood and took a look...LOL

 

Can't imagine they have seen any stock EVO's come in.

Thankfully my car does not fall into this mess as I'd sooner remove the damn passenger airbag before finding a mitsubishi dealer, let alone having them actually perform the recall

 

Mine aren't the SSL seats, they're the SE seats but regardless they're very pricey and would rather not go through the hassle of replacing them if they were stolen. Alarm is getting installed very soon

As for the recall, I'm going tomorrow morning. The guy told me it'll take roughly 5 hours to complete.

 

Warning, if you take your car to Cerritos Mitsubishi be prepared to pay $125 if you have aftermarket gauges installed. They claim they charge this because they have to remove the gauges and reconnect them after they remove the dash to replace the airbag. This was for a boost gauge which every evo usually has in their car.

 

scumbag *******s.

 

Call Mitsubishi North America. The more of us that complain the sooner they will stop doing this bullcrap. I already removed my gauges, but left the wires (stock MR location, Gruppe S pod) and they are still trying to charge me. I called Mitsubishi this morning and opened a complaint ticket. Just stress how this is a safety recall, and people should be charged anything to prevent the death of their passenger. Also, going on 5 hours since I dropped off my car. Fingers crossed.
