I think the #s are by order of joining. But feel free to mention it to Peej anyhow.

 

Well, ok I can relinquish my spot so everybody gets bumped up a spot. I know I wasn't the second member, but people resigned as mods and I got bumped up. You will then be 007 hahahahaha.



































OK really, I'm Peejay's favorite, that's why I'm his #2

 

Given our new thread on Peejay, you might not want to advertise being his #2.

 

same thing just happened today , but i wasnt driving yet, i was just backing up , to leave my house, so what was the problem? all the screws are tightened

 

The bracket is poorly designed. It seems that this most recent time they just didn't tighten the bolts enough. Of course, that was AFTER I said I didn't believe them that some other $1600 part was the "new" problem that I would have to pay for. I'm starting to think Mitsubishi won't be in the running for my next car.

 

so how much did it cost? or did u even pay anything?

 

I didn't pay anything since I had paid $300 "deductible" for the repair only 3 months ago. At least a dealership's work is guaranteed for 12 months.

 

how would someone go about fixing a loose steering column? Since my car got in that wreck ive had water leaks and alignment issues.

 

They had to replace my steering column once under warranty, then again later when it came loose again. I looked at it to see if I can fix it myself, but it's just a poorly designed part. Gravity works against it when it could have been designed to be helped by gravity.

 

yea i was also looking at it and couldnt do anything , but i dont have warranty, its at 81k, and im on a buget so im just goin to go to Mitsubishi and see what happens

 

same thing happened to me on the highway

there is 2 little "V" brackets that are super glued onto the steering column... recipe for disaster

 

Apparently, it's supposed to be a break away steering column, so that you don't break your face on it in an accident. Problem is (1) it's not supposed to break away when you're not in an accident, and (2) All cars have had airbags (neglecting the need for breakaway columns) since the early 90s, before this car even hit the market.
