#710908September 3, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION COMPUTER FEEDS A TOO LEAN GASOLINE MIXTURE CAUSING THE CAR TO RUN ROUGH WHEN ACCELERATING WHEN ENGINE IS COLD. IT RUNS LIKE AN OLDER CAR WOULD THAT NEEDED SPARK PLUGS. IT HAS STALLED OUT ONCE FROM THIS PROBLEM AND EVERY MORNING IT IS A STRUGGLE FOR THE CAR TO BACK UP THE SMALL INCLINE IN MY DRIVEWAY. I AM AFRAID THAT WHEN I AM TRYING TO TURN LEFT IN TRAFFIC IT WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I AM VERY CAREFUL WHEN I DO PULL OUT. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THE CAR WAS ONLY FOUR MONTHS OLD & MITSUBISHI HAS YET TOO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM, YET I SEE THAT THEY ARE STILL SELLING NEW MIRAGES LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT ON SEPTEMBER 9TH FOR THEM TO TRY AGAIN TO REPAIR IT.
