I have 2008 evo and i am pissed. Clutch is sticking at the top of the range. I know i am not crazy but the dealer who i dropped off the car at 8:00am bye 3:00pm he finely pulled the car in. what a dick on top of that tells me the clutch is fine and charge me 100 dollars for nothing. I will most likely be back with same probklem,but the clutch i will have to pay for. I was going to keep the car after the lease but after this my cars going back. Any ideas Plus the banging noise after i switch gears

 

what dealer did you go to. i am on long island too.

 

wantagh

 

make sure you take it in 3 times and have documentation saying what they did or didn't do to it. They are probably trying to get you past the 18k mark to void any lemon law warrenty you could have. BTW how many miles? Clutch is only warrentied fro 12k.

 

wow i have 13,100

 

if i knew the dealer would nickel and dime me i would have bought a dfferent car. 2 days later the car is fine surprise. I guess they can't make money off of me ,which is how it set up. I love my car and know something is wrong with it. Wantagh mit you suck (gary) u dick

 

ok i think there's air in the system and just needs to be bleed does that sound right. if so all this *****ing for nothing, Not for nothing after all of this bull not look to keep car after lease is up. Service and warranty sucks not consumer friendly.

 

well folks it happened again. this time I went to Island mit. on long island n.y. On sat with a rattle in the exaust and a knock everytime i swich gears. anyway tom the manager refused to work on my car. I am so pissed off. I have to bring my car to queens to get work on. The dealer has the right to refuse to work on your car. Has this happened to anyone else?

 

Wow, what was the reason on why they refused to work on your car?

 

I say screw the dealership.

If you can afford to, do all of the above, or atleast the clutch and MC. Its a nice car that is sold really cheap and the reason its cheap is because they cheap out on everything. Even if you get warranty service, you'll most likely face the problem again. I've had my share of ****ty experiences with the Mits Dealerships and have realized its time to move on. If you definitely don't want to mod, then I agree, its time you looked for a different company/car altogether. I for one have completely stopped going to the dealership. Period. I have decided I will only take the car to good aftermarket shops. Trust me, the dealerships are not worth the trouble.

In that link above, read what I wrote about the motor mount. How dangerous is that!!!

 

Funny thing is they don't need a reason. I was told by the manager Tom is have the right to refuse to work on your car and told me to leave. all dealers are independent.

Catalyst god- you are 100% right. I took such good care of my car it would be a shame to hand it in when the lease is up.

 

Don't worry about it man. I spent several sleepless nights feeling cheated. I love the Evo so much and when when these ****-holes treat the customers of their most expensive model like ****, it really bothers us a lot. Its normal don't worry. Eventually though, I realized this was my excuse to start modifying my X to my liking and make it more reliable. Its like a project. Ever since I started last year, I've already spent like 10K. And that's nothing compared to what some of the others have. Its about having fun, isn't that why we buy these cars in the first place. Don't worry, its a passing phase and you'll be feeling awesome in no time once you start improving it and driving it again.

PS: I love working on my evo. I just don't do the really hard stuff like the thread I posted earlier. Its an infinitely enjoyable experience. You almost start associating your identity with it more and more as you get into it.

 

well my car is at Garden mitsubishi for muffler noise and recalls.The guy calls me up to see if i can leave my car there for 2 days. What for muffler I hope i didn't make a mistake scary

 

just get a new clutch

 

cars all better needed a muffler, still have knocking sound when changing gears. not a loud noise maybe a bushing, something loose. the cluch -just air in the line. The dealers service sucks. This new one garden in hempsted is ok but Island and wantagh suck.
