Few problems, spoke to the dealership

Has anybody else had any of these problems

1) I have heard of people saying their wheel pulls to the left. Well my pulls to whatever side of the road I am on. If I am on the right it pulls to the right. If I am on the left it pulls to the left. It is really annoying

2) When I turn my steering wheel you hear like a little crunching noise. It is not completely bad, but it is a new car it shouldn't do that. It kind of sounds like a problem that I had with an old car when the strut mount was bad.

3) When I let off the gas for lets say shifting I hear like a high pitched noise. It does it every time I let off. It has been doing this for a while now. It sounds like your ears are ringing.

4) Lets say I am idling at a stop light. I can hear air being released. It sound like lets say your deflating a tire, but not so drastic. When I put my foot on the brake it goes away. When I take my foot off it comes back.

I am very upset. This is my first brand new car. Its not completely new anymore I have about 11,000 miles on it, but you all know what I mean. I just think I learned a lesson not to by the first year of a car.

Thank You to all of you that respond

Spoke To My Dealership

I spoke with the dealership about all of my problems.

One of the problems was the problem we are pretty much all having.. The pull to left and/or the right.

His response was that we a sporty suspension that goes the way of the road.. He sounded nice about all my problems so I don't think he is really bull****ting.. He said regardless he will look at it and see what he can do about it.. Just a heads up guys.

He'll "look" at it for you: diagnostic fee + labor + parts you probably don't need + 2-3 days without your car + nickel & dime you with misc. fees and surcharges = broke and unhappy bigd31388

I am bring my car in Tuesday. I get a free loaner car.

The sales team sucks. They are all pieces of ****. The service guys are pretty cool though I am friends with some people that work there. He said he will look at it. If it can't be fixed I will just be like everyone else. If we are all having this problem, there has to be some kind of fix for it someday.

It's normal for you car to pull to the left when you are in the left lane and to the rigth when you are in the rigth lane . The roads are built with few degrees to the sides to drain the water . All the car i had did that . Exep my lancer witch pulls to the left no matter what .

im gonna get my winter tires put on at sears on friday and they have one of the best alignment machines around there so i think since i put on all my RRM parts i might as well just pay them for one rather then dealing with mitsu cause they are retarded and just mess up my rims one way or another.

The noise problem I have on my GTS usually occurs when the weather is cold and only when I make a sharp right turn. I took it to the dealer twice already and they still have not fix or found what the problem is.
