| I am sending a complaint regarding a 2001 montero sport. the vin is ja4mt31h81p031773. i have taken my car to the dealership which is gossett mitsubishi here in memphis, tn at least four times since last november regarding transmission issues. specifically, the problem that i am having is the transmission shifts very sluggishly after i have driven around 100 miles straight at about 70 to 75 mph. the dealership has not been able to find a remedy for this problem. the last problem that i had with my vehicle was during another road trip. this time the transmission again shifted sluggishly and this time the transmission ran hot and spewed out transmission fluid which in turn caused the vehicle to smoke badly for the first time and i had to pull over on 3 different occasions which made for a long trip home. i took the vehicle to the dealership the next day and again they could not find anything mechanically wrong. the service manager named wilson recommended that i have them install an after-market condenser to help keep the transmission fluid cool. i had no choice but to agree to this because they cannot find anything wrong with this vehicle. this after-market condenser that was installed at this dealership is not a mitsubishi product. wilson stated to me that this product is used mainly on vehicles that are used for towing, but i have never used my vehicle for towing nor does it have a towing package. the dealership charged me $268 dollars for this product including labor. so, now i have a bright silver transmission fluid condenser just behind the grill of my montero sport. it is very noticeable. the number to gossett mitsubishi is 901-388-8989 or 800-238-7003 the address is 1919 covington pike memphis, tn 38128 | |||

| VISIBILITY - DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM - WINDSHIELD - HEATER CORE | |||
| 10/11/2004 | 35000 | 1 | 02/16/2001 |
| I was driving along the highway when my friend and i noticed an antifreeze smell and the windshield started to fog. we both work on cars for a living and we both knew exactly what it was. the heater core. what surprised me was that my car only has 35k miles on it and this is the first time i have ever seen a heater core fail with so little miles on it. the part cost me $200 and the labor, which i was thankfully able to perform, took the better part of a day. the car's computer is located beneath the heater core but luckily i caught it in time or it could have caused an accident by stalling the car on the freeway. i immediately parked the car and called for a tow to keep from causing an accident, damaging the very expensive computer, and breathing the toxic fumes from the antifreeze. *jb | |||
