| Powertrain: automatic transmission while driving on a speed of about 65-75 mph on the freeway/interstate and all of a sudden i have to slow down by stepping on the brake and then releasing the brake to continue moving again after the speed goes down to about 35-45 mph, the check engine light comes on and you can hear the engine revving like it is stuck on third gear instead of shifting to fourth gear. i have been to an authorized napa auto repair shop and the code they found out was a sensor problem. they changed the sensor and sure enough gone again but the check engine light came on again while i was climbing up on a slope that is stepping on the gas a little bit more to be able to climb the slope. went back to the same napa auto repair shop and this time it is still the same problem. they asked me to drive it some more just in case the check engine light disappears again and it did. now i am scared of driving it anymore unless i have to for fear of anything worse happens. i bought this truck in 2008 with about 35k on the odometer and bought it with as is conditions. i could not afford a newer and better truck so i am stuck with this one. i have now 48k miles on the odometer since july, 2008. the napa auto repair shop said that the next thing they could try is getting a used transmission or even a new transmission but would not be able to guarantee if it won't happen again. *tr | |||

| Bought a 2006 mitsibushi raider broke down the first day i took it home. should have told them to shove it then. i had a friend that worked there and trusted her that they would fix the problem. got the truck back and the whole speedometer broke. it wouldn't go into drive or park. just sit there like it was in neutral. i drove more rental cars and cars off their lot than i probably have drove the truck. it continues to do the same thing over and over again. i believe the last count was 15 times in the shop for the same thing. everyone keeps telling me you have a warranty don't worry about it. well it's aggravating when it keeps messing up and you don't have it to begin with because its in the shop. i was rear ended and side swipe so now they want to say that is why i'm having problems and don't want the truck. i didn't want it before but got the run around. i don't pay good money for something that is a piece of ?!@#$%. *tr | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated after starting the vehicle, there was a loud noise while shifting into drive. later while driving 70 mph on normal dry roads, the vehicle engine stalled. the vehicle was taken to a service dealer who determined that the gear box was faulty, and that it was a common problem. there were no repairs made. | |||

| 2006 mitsubishi raider @ 42,000 miles. this vehicle has been nothing but problems with no solutions. first i had electrical problems, lights and dash cutting off, no speedometer, radio would cut off. once it wouldnt crank, i had to have it towed to the dealership, where they said i was missing a fuse, apparently it fell out while in route to dealership, because i checked all of them before i called tow truck, checked with test light, all were working, all were in place.......50.00 for the tow, 40.00+ to replace a fuse. constantly uses brake fluid.....took to dealer and they said it was low on brake fluid.....probally because it was leaking all over the drum, dealer did not fix. had some kind of ecu replaced for electronics, still didnt fix problem. trucks rear brakes began to drag and lock up. called dealer, they said my series of vin numbers wasnt included in there recall, even though it was doing the same as the so called recalled vehichles. eventually i guess it broke, because it hasnt been dragging the brakes, although there is a large brake fluid leak on drivers side rear tire, and now my rear end(hog head)(gearcase) is leaking gear oil. i just dont understand why there are no solutions to mitsubishi's mistakes unless they are resolved from my wallet. i guess they are only liable if more than 100 people are killed in accidents happen.......toyota stood up and fixed their problem.......how come mitsubishi cant? thoroughly disgusted by dealers and their service department........or lack of service department. i have had verbal confrontations with all service managers, even contacted mitsubishi main office, still at no prevail.......so i guess i will drive it to the wheels fall off, shouldnt be much longer, rear end is leaking fairly bad now. i cant afford to have it fixed, even though they should be held responsible for their mistakes..... | |||
