| My car, mitsubishi lancer gts model 2008 is pulling to the side. i got this car new, it was pulling to the left from the beginning. after they did an alignment, the car is pulling to the right. the amount of pulling is very big, for example if, at 60-65mph i release the steering wheel it rotates right instantly with a half a inch, and the car changes the lane to the right in 3-4 seconds. i don't know if the car or the tires are wrong, but this is very serioos safety concern for me. i've search on the internet for people with similar issue, and found out that most of the people with mitsubishi lancer gts have this problem. so i believe mitsubishi knows about this problem but just don't want to admit it. please see this link (15 pages): http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=293784 . thanks a lot and please contact me if you need additional information.*tr | |||

| The car pulls to the left very strongly, and have had the car at the dealership 3-4 times to have them try and fix it with no avail. they aligned it and rotated the tires, but this fixed nothing. i stressed my concern with this that the tires would wear out fast since it isn't aligned right, and now, at 4300 miles, all four tires are worn out bad, feathered on the outside, and inside is almost down to 2/32nds, and the dealership i bought the car from refuses to do anything about it. i filed a claim with mitusbishi themselves, and after reviewing the case, said the car is fine, and all four tires have even wear and they closed the case, even though all the tires are worn out different, some worse than others, and the car still pulls to the left. *tr | |||

| I have a complaint about the mitsubishi motors i bought my car two years ago in 2007 and the car is a 2008 mitsubishi lance and right now the car saying there is something wrong with the tire pressure system. the car consumes alot of gas for example yesterday i put ten dollars in the afternoon and in the night i didn't have any gas. the dealer was very rude because its not the first time this incident has happened. last year the tire pressure monitoring had a defect and they fixed it because i called my bank and told them don't send the car payment through. and they will give a number to contact some principal mitsibishi where they are very rude to me because i have a heavy accent and can't speak english very well. if i get the care fixed it will cost me like 350-400 to fix it thanks thanks a lot. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2008 mitsubishi lancer. in rainy weather conditions, the contact noticed water entering the vehicle through the driver side cabin. also, the tires have premature tread wear. he took the vehicle to the dealer and a technician replaced all four tires and performed a wheel alignment. several months later, the tire tread displayed abnormal wear again. he took the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed that they would have to realign the tires and replace all four again. the vehicle has not been repaired because the dealer cannot identify the cause of the failures. the failure mileage was 7,500 and current mileage was 19,000. | |||
