#725852July 23, 2000
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
LOUD WINDING NOISE FROM ALTERNATOR PULLEY, TOOK CAR TO A MITSUBISHI DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE CENTER THAT THE PULLEY IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE OR REQUIRED. A NEW DESIGN AND BELT WAS IMPLEMENTED ON THE NEW MODELS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. A NEW BELT IS REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON THE OLD MODELS. THE NEW BELT WILL NOT GO AROUND THE PULLEY AND THE PULLEY WILL NOT BE USED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT. IS THE CONSUMER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE NEW BELT AND LABOR TO PUT IT ON. THIS NEW BELT WAS NOT PART OF THE 1997 MODELS. I THINK THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR! IT IS A DEFECT. THE PULLEY IS NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT IS THE PROBLEM PART.

SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE OF THIS VEHICLE, EVERY SIX MONTHS, I GET A PULSATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE FIRST TIME, MITSUBISHI DEALER SAID RESURFACE THE ROOTER. THE SECOND TIME, THEY SAID I SHOULD REPLACE THE PADS AND ROOTER, THE THIRD TIME THE WHEEL HUB MAY BE BAD, THE FOURTH TIME I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GAS STATION AND THE ROOTERS WERE RESURFACED AGAIN AND I FEEL THE PROBLEM HAPPENING AGAIN. THE DEALER HAS CLEARLY SHOWN THAT THEY DONNOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS NOR CAN FIX IT.I GET THIS PULSATION AT ABOUT 45 AND ABOVE ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHICH ON A RAINY DAY CAN BE BAD.I HAVE SPOKEN TO OVER TEN PEOPLE WITH DIAMANTE'S AND THEY HAVE STATED THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CANT FIX IT..
