I have 2003 oz manual and i just took my car to the dealership for a safety recall. after they did the recall that's what happened to my car. i think what they did is some ecm reflash... how can i fix that? will dealership fix that or will they point out some stupid **** and say its not their fault or say this is what is causing it bla bla bla.. thank you!

 

The same thing happened to my car after they did a reflash (even after I told them I did not want the recall reflash because of this exact issue). They'll probably say it's not the flash and it's because of something else or they'll say they can't return it to stock since it's a recall and you signed the waiver.

 

what did u end up doing?

 

Living with it.

 

is there really no way to change it? dealership wont do anything about it? does it happen for all the lancers? shoud they not make another recall?" is there any harm to the car by this? gas milage and bla bla

 

Since I don't work at the dealership I don't know if they'll do anything about it. It won't harm the car, it's for emissions if I recall correctly.

 

is your car still like that

 

Yep.

 

i wonder if its just the two of us or is there more people like this and if dealership is aware of it and looking for a fix?

 

mine did the same thing. Also when i got the reflash im pretty sure that they lowered the redline from 6500 to 6100 rpm. I dont know if anyone else noticed that or it was just me

 

This is why I am worried about taking my car to the dealership. I am getting ready to take mine in for the timing belt (60,000 miles and a great deal on labor) but I am going state that any extra work that may need to be done will have to be approved by me before it is done.

 

well i dont know if that is the case but still it should not do that as you only lets say put it in neutral at 5000 rpms and it just floads down

 

and actually they did pcm reflash not ecm.
