Two radiators later, I was in getting the oil changed, and the upper tech noticed a wisp of steam. Pointed it out to me, and of course I was NOT impressed. He proceeded to tell me that my rad cap failed the pressure test and was only holding about 5 PSI, but was still dropping from that very slowly. I know a rad cap is extremely important and could not was amazed that the dealership did not replace the rad cap when they replaced the other radiators.

Anyways, I called the dealership right there and booked it in. Dropped off the car the next day and 3 days later got a call the car was ready for pick up. Arrived there expecting the same as usual, sign the paperwork for the warranty and on my way. Instead I get a bill for $2000. I looked up and stated the car car is under warranty as you know. And was told that they had replaced 2 rads before in a very short period of time and I had to have neglected the car to make the radiator leak again. I replied by saying this car sees all highway mileage and that I would have done a coolant flush but since they have replaced the rad twice that I had assumed they put new coolant in. Service Advisor told me that they make it a practice to reuse fluids. I replied by saying I should have known since the rad cap was not replaced and failed a pressure test. He stated back that the rad cap was not under warranty therefore i would have had to request it to be changed. He asked how I was paying the $2000 bill.....I retorted by saying "WARRANTY". He looked at me rolled his eyes and said with a straight face..."You have went through 2 rads already, you have reached your limit." My mouth literally dropped open. I got up and went to walk out turned around and said put that in writing please. He did!!!!! I took the letter and stated I would be back tomorrow, after speaking with Mitsubishi Canada. Called the head office from my trusty Dodge, explained the situation, they asked me to fax the letter to them. I received a call the next morning from the dealership that I can come pick up my car and that all parts and labour would be covered under warranty. When I arrived there they handed my the usual papers to sign and just before I signed them I noticed that the service manager had wrote "The last Radiator covered under warranty by (the specified dealership)" I said I would sign this, the manager came out and rewrote the papers. MITSUBISHI SUCKS!!!!
