problem #1

Oct 012003

Lancer Evolution 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 16,000 miles
My vehicle had repeatedly shown a check engine light for a misfire code. Every time I get the check engine light, the car vibrates and loses at least 45% power. I feel that the car is very unsafe to drive. I have brought the car for diagnosis 7 plus times. Hell, they even rebuilt the engine in an attempt to fix the problem! that obviously did not cure the problem. Now I am out of warranty.
