and the plot thickens!

 

isn't that accessory package w/the e-brake & shift knob installed by the dealers themselves, so it's not Mitsubishi, it's the dealer?!

 

Can we call it a roving piece of crap, yet?

 

well i had the same problem with my e brake handle too and i cant find the damn screw i thought it was only me having this problem.. same thing happened to my shift knob when it was cold out the adhesive that holds the shift knob on the plastic thing with the threads kept coming off so now i have a arc shiftknob and a bare metal ebrake handle until i go to mitsu for a new screw. and also something is wrong with my trans it wont go into first gear anymore. 1100 miles. damn.

 

typical mitsus

after this i'm done, buying a C6 Z06 and i'll prob be done with 4 cyl's in general

 

im really getting fed up with my 10 i think im gunna wind up getting rid of it... to many headaches. and im just gunna go pick up a cls 63 amg and call it a dAY LOL

 

My friends '93 Lexus ES with 200,000 miles doesn't have ANY problems, and NO rattles.

 

cool?

 

I bought mines brand new in 03, no problem other than the usual clutch, fading brake calipers and carbon fiber tail. No doubt its embarrassing. That vettes roof is one funny looking $hit! It looks like it was so fast that it went bald.

 

Sarcasm much? You were going on about other cars so I did too?

 

oh gotcha.. dunno back on topic!

 

Come one, this thread is a joke... A couple of issues (MINOR AT THAT) and peoples already going awol. You can break without an e-brake, your can shift without a knob and the recaro issue is a simple fix , no harm no foul! Take it to the dealer and call Mitsu NA and explain to them your issues!

 

yea u can break without an e brake and u can shift without a shiftknob but it kinda sux when u buy a brand new car and all u have is problems with it .. even if they are minor issues it still sux

 

If I read properly, you're saying my car will stay still on a hill without the handbrake, that none of us should be complaining about driving with a missing knob, and that we should just sort of deal with our seats coming apart?

Maybe, just maybe my thread was a joke (not), but compared to your post, my thread's as serious as serious gets.

I didn't pay $40,000 for a car that has a messed up brake handle, a missing shift knob, and seats that come undone..

 

i think these loose and broke item is more user related than anything.
