Bought this car on looks. Very bad idea. In a little over 4 months and 4,000 miles the clutch went out, I mean, really can't put it any simpler. In my over 60 year never burned a clutch out. I did smell something strange, another couple blocks no clutch. Got the car home and called dealer and a tow truck towed it to dealer.
After days of bull and lame comments like my wife burns one out every couple months. Let's start out with a bumper to bumper warranty at 10,000 miles, no good, was told the clutch wasn't a part of the powertrain, the bull I hear. I just had to ask where does it go on, top of the carburetor? He hung up [da, guess not]. Called again and was told it would cost about a $1,000 to take it apart to see if the clutch was burned out, I think scam and I said fix it. This goes on and I just paid my payment a couple of days before it went out. Called again and was told that the Mitsubishi rep. was in town and Mitsubishi was going to let them fix it. Tried a lawyer upstate and it wasn't enough money in the case to warrant his time.
On 03/18/11 a payment due called and told Mitsubishi a breach of contract was made and on 03/03/11 I got a NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ACCELERATE. I guess they lost the car because they called wanting to know the location, all I could say is someone must have ate it like Mitsubishi can eat the note cause sale of a lemon for a car should be against the law or is, as I tried. But we the consumers are not treated right as I know . As a vet. of 60 some of my trade in and a $1,000 taken at first to buy it with payments and insurance over $8,000 cost and months without a car hurt. I give the General Manager and Mitsubishi a thumbs up in COMPLETLELY UNSATISFED CUSTOMER so beware, just because it says it on paper, they don"t stand by it, money talks they say. Do hope this helps one person not to be taken in.
Update from Sep 29, 2016: They did not Fix it just accelerate payments and keep car.
