TIRES
AFTER COMING FROM A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT, REACHING A SPEED OF AROUND 10 MPH, HEARD LOUD POP (ALMOST LIKE TIRE BLOWING OUT), TRIED TO PULL OFF TO SIDE OF ROAD, WHICH AT THAT POINT ALL I HEARD WAS GRINDING (ALMOST LIKE RIDING ON THE RIM), WENT TO PUT VEHICLE INTO PARK AND AS I REACHED THE PARKING GEAR A LOUD GRINDING NOISE CAME FROM ENGINE, PUT HAZARDS ON BECAUSE WAS OUT ON A BUSY STREET AND WAS UNABLE TO PULL OFF, GOT OUT TO FIND THAT FRONT-RIGHT BALL JOINT HAD BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE BOOT/TIRE, AND TIRE WAS SHOVED UP INTO WHEEL BASE, AND AS A RESULT HAD TO REPLACE BALL JOINT, CONTROL ARM AND FRONT-RIGHT AXEL DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE BALL JOINT DISCONNECTED FROM REST OF CAR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT BECAUSE I WAS ON REGULAR ROAD AT A LOW SPEED. DT

THE CAR JUST STOPPED MOVING IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY AND THEIR WAS NO WIERD SOUNDS TO FORWARN ME OF ANYTHING! THIS HAPPENED IN JANUARY 2001 AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE CLUTCH. THE DEALER WAS RUDE/MEAN, BUT THEN I CALLED MITSUBISHI MOTORS AND THEY TOLD THE DEALER TO CHANGE THE CLUTCH. HERE IT IS 22 MONTHS LATER, 10/2002, AND THE CLUTCH IS GOING OUT AGAIN THE DEALER IS TELLING ME. THE DEALERS SERVICE WOMEN TOLD ME I MUST BE A BAD DRIVER, AND I TOLD HER I'VE DROVE STICKS FOR 23 YEARS AND NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A CLUTCH BEFORE, LET ALONE 2 CLUTCHES! SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR! 2ND PROBLEM THEY SAID AND MY TITLE SHOWS THE CAR TO BE A 1998, YET THE ORIGINAL STICKER ON THE BODY AROUND THE DOOR SAYS MANUFACTURED IN THE USA IN 1997. DT

TIRES, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW, AND WHAT A MISTAKE IT WAS. I HAVE BEGUN THE PROCESS OF DECLARING THE LEMON LAW. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS 8 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS. THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE BOOT SPLIT AND LEAKED GREASE. THE FOG LIGHTS FILL WITH MOISTURE AND CONDENSATION DUE TOO INADEQUATE VENTING. THE WINDOWS DON'T SEAL TOO THE BODY ON THE CONVERTIBLE CAUSING WATER LEAKS, AND THE SEALS LOCATED ON THE QUARTER GLASS RUB THE DOOR WINDOW WHICH ALLOWS THE RUBBER TO WEAR PREMATURELY AND CREATE ADDITIONAL LEAKS. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE REAR QUARTER GLASS REPLACED 5 TIMES IN 4,000 MILES. THE CAR VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE BAD. I HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT TWO REPLACED BECAUSE THE TREAD WAS SEPERATING INTERNALLY ON THE TIRES. MITSUBISHI NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THE CARS ON THE ROAD WITH DEFECTS. PLEASE HELP DT
