it doesnt matter if your the original owner the warranty is not on the owner its on the car

 

ill have to call..i have both that problem and the clearcoat on the brakes peeling off

 

someone told me not to call the dealer first, but to call mitsubishi usa and then it would get taken care of even though it is a 2003

 

let me know how that goes. Mine is f'd too, and I want to get it fixed, but only if the replacement is a VIII wing.

 

i just got a new wing on my 03 w 60k, just had to keep calling mitsu corporate..LOL. it works. however, how can u tell if u got a 8 or 9 wing?

 

Same here, they offered to sell me an extended warranty. I said, why?? so you can void that one too

 

what dealer in san diego?

 

you guys can get stuff replaced? i sure cant, cause im not the first owner(only 120 miles on the clock when i got her)

 

always nice to see someone have a good experience at a dealership, it is becoming all to rare

 

You should be able to if your bumper to bumper is still in tact. I know Im the second owner of my 05 Evo and the stealership tried to pull the same crap with me, telling me Im not the first owner so they dont think they can honor the warranty. So I simply call Mitsubishis corporate, who are extremely nice, and they told me the bumper to bumper factory warranty transfers to the second owner. I recommend calling them.

 

Congrats on getting something covered by Mitsu.

 

good luck on the calipers. mitsu pulled the plug on that a while ago. at nearly $1000 a pop they arent replacing those anymore unless they stop working. i brought mine in last november with 34k and a few little spots starting to show and nothing. and mind you i'm an employee and still nothing. the reason they cover the wing for 5/60 is because it's treated the same as any other painted surface when it comes to perforation. obviously they wont warranty paint work caused by dings, chips, or scratches or anything. the calipers are only covered under 12/12 same with any wear item such and clutch, brakes, etc.

 

Interesting. I got 4 new calipers this past November no questions asked. I guess it just depends on the local rep.

 

the other big thing is dealers get tracked by the manufacturer and the lest warranty return dollars the better. meaning for example something like an engine replacement would definitely leave a mark because of not only parts cost but also labor costs. that can definitely play a factor in a location's willingness to replace items. also what kind of numbers they turn in terms of sales and service also plays a factor in what and how they can get away with

 

just curious... the number of mitsu corporate? never called or looked for it before...
