Unhappy Not to happy camper

I need some advice from you guys.
my cel came one once again this is the second time that this has happened and every time is when i first turn it on. I have take the car to the dealer to get the new re flush 2 times since there has been updates and now it came up again. Does my Mitsu dealer know wtf hes doing? Or is it just glitches in the programming of the cpu.
I hope that it is not just my car that is doing this.
Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

Yea, I have a few things that I want them to look at with mine. I need to call before the car gets too "old". And they better fix em, or at least have a damn fine reason to why not.

Same problem here...

First CEL was at 400 miles, brought it in, got the reflash.
Got a second CEL within 24 hours of the reflash, but the CEL went away before I could get into the dealership.
Just got my third CEL today (1000 miles) and tonight my idle dropped like crazy right after I started it up and actually killed the engine.

I'll be calling service tomorrow, but this is f-ing ridiculous! 2 more and the lemon law kicks in...

Id tell them to replace the car you paid a **** load of money for it and it should meet your satisfaction. if you take it back more than 7 times in a 3 month period you apply for the lemon law and you can have them give you a new car or full refund or something take it to the law if they wont work with you.

I have some of these problems too but no CEL code. My car once at a parking lot started than dropped RPMS and died on me. It took a few turns to start it too. It is common for the RPMs to drop for me when I start the car. I could bring it in but I hope they don't mind the intake/exhaust/upperICpipe. Those idiots will blame anything you put on a car as fault even if it is an air freshener and even if everyone is having the same problems stock or not.
