 I have a 2003 mitsubishi lancer es, and my car is falling apart when you touch it. also the body, doors, and paint bend and strach really easily. in the engine the parts are not sitting properly, the bolt to the belt tensioner is sitting side ways, the air conditioning and heating knob broke off when it was touched, the knob was hard to turn back and forth, the car jumps into gear when you push the gas, it also hesitates when the gas is pushed, when sitting still the car wants to die in and out before going again, it sucks gas like crazy. *jb
