| In february, 2000, i had pulled up underneath my home. the car was in park when the motor excelled. i thought something must be wrong with the timing. i turned off the car. i didn't think any more about it until 9-20-2000 when the engine did it again. i was picking my child up from football practice i pulled into a parking place. the spaces are close together and you go into the parking area with your foot on the brake. i had pulled straight up in the space and was getting ready to put it in park when the motor excelled again. i braked as hard as i could but the car would not stop. i did not have my foot on the gas as mitsubishi has suggested i might have done. i ran over a metal fence. i was headed toward a bleacher when i did a 90 degree turn and headed down a path. the only thing that was working was the steering. i heard a click and the motor died down and i was able to stop the car. i have a number of witnesses who saw me pull in. i have a very good driving record and i am 49 years old. by the police suggestions i had the vechilde towed to a towing place until i could contact my insurance company. i contacted liberty mutual. i asked them to have the car inspected before they towed it to mitsubishi dealership in charleston.they were on an off about this for several days then they said it had to go to the dealership, that they did not have a place that could check it out. it was towed to the dealership and they went over it. i was told by the manager it could be many things but when they checked it out, everything was okay. the manger said it could be air flow from the computer that is shot into diffferent sysytems, but there was no evidence. liberty mutual then sent someone out. why they didn't do this before, i don't know. their engineer looked over everything with mitsubishi and guess what nothing is wrong with it. wrong! 7 months between the incidences. when will be the next time??? mitsubishi says i have to take a leased car bac | |||
