2006 mitsubishi eclipse spun 3 main bearings, has a worn clutch at 28,000 miles. i have never replaced the clutch in my '88 mazda, which currently has 190,000 miles on it or any of the previous manual transmission vehicles i have owned. mitsubishi reps denied the warranty due to aftermarket part (cold air intake) the clutch being worn and from what they claim as spirited driving. i did not pay $30,000 for a car to take out and drive it like a maniac. this is a car that i take very good care of and change oil every 3,000 miles religiously, and have it serviced regularly. i had a dispute hearing on this matter and that was a joke, you better have someone to go with you that has in-depth knowledge of engines and cold air intakes. i know that the cold air intake does not change the parameters of the engine set by the manufacturer, since i had contacted the company that developed the intake. i will never buy another mitsubishi in my life. they do not stand behind their warranties or their products. i will never recommend a mitsubishi vehicle to anybody. i will also not recommend the dealership to anyone either. they was of no help to me what so ever. *tr |
