Hey Guys, I've had my lancer GTS for about 3 weeks now and my only complaint is that when I go at or faster than 60mph, the car shakes a bit and pulls a lot to the left. I took it to the dealer a couple of time.
the first time they told me the had fixed it. but the problem continued.
I then took it to another dealer but they told me that they need a software update
to get the numbers so they can check the car.
then the gy called me and told me that mitsubishi has not release those number yet, and that they should get them by mid june. but that he was gonna research the numbers himself to see if he can fix the car before june...
no my Question is..... Does anybody here know how, where to get this info? I understand the car is brand new.. but it is very annoying the way it shakes... it's not a lot but I can notice it.....
Please help!

Took it to the dealership - he drove it (city only) and said it was fine... just "Road Crowning" - I was pissed! I told him he would never feel it at city speeds that it only happenes on the highway - they wouldn't even put it on the rack to check it out!

take it to dealer and show it to them again and insist the manager get involved.
My brother had a an 2007 Eclipse GT and he was having problems with the starter and he made sure he got management involved so that they address the problem correctly. Messed up thing was the car REALLY did have a problem and it took them sometime to get it fixed. Man, my brother was pissed off and he was going to take they *** to court for a lemon.

My car pulled to the left pretty badly. I had the dealer take a look at my alignment. Apparently, it wasn't out of alignment, and they checked all of the suspension components and stuff which were good as well. They ended up rotating tires until it drove straight. The invoice says they cross rotated front, rotated front to rear, rotated left, then rotated front to rear again...with test drives following each rotation. I'm not sure I'm satisfied with this solution, but it doesn't pull badly anymore...

Took mine to the service dept., they said the Toe was out and did an alignment. Also said that in the '07 Outlanders, there was a problem w/ the bearings making a lot of noise when going over bumps, which I have noticed ever so slightly on my GTS...Only hear it on hard bumps when my window is down, but they have bearings on order and are fixing the issue...

Ohh boy another problem. Okay I am inside now but I will go check I felt my car pulling to the left but I honestly felt it was the road . When I am on the highway at low speeds in traffic like 40 mph I felt the steering get heavy to the left but the road also went high on the right . I was in the fast lane as always 
I hope this is not another problem I feel weird sometimes going to the dealership. I have been there so often lol
Still love my Big but Lancer though.

The cars should not be pulling to the left at all. It should pull slightly to the right if at all for safety reason. I had a friend who had a lancer and he took it to the dealer. The reason they things may not be getting fixed is normally the dealer does not have the best equipment to do alignments. The dealer my friend took it to told him that. They sent him to NTB to get it done since they have better equipment. He has not had a problem since. You may want to see if they will do that for you.

My dealer keeps on saying they don't have the required software... I'm gonna take it in anyways so I can have them check the tires.. balancing.. wheels etc.. I love my lancer but this thing is driving me nots.. I understand that alignments issues might make the car pull left/ right.. but the shaking is what i'm really worry about. ....
