i have a few good chips on mine, and no rust yet, but i live right on the pacific ocean, so i sure it will rust very soon. cars have that problem on the coast. i thought about putting something over it, but i think i am just going to wait and see what happens. it is ridculous that some of those chips are only 1/8 of an inch wide, but go down to bare metal.

The dealership said the chips were from rocks, so therefore it's not covered.. (user abuse?!?) and as far as the wax, the dealer waxed it when i took delivery.... does wax void the corrosion warranty?

thats teh way its heading. its a joke when manufacturers are out to void your warranty immediatly. i took my srt to the dealership to get new sparkplug wires - one was baked. i go in, ask about it, the service manager - yes the manager - comes out, pops the hood, and says my warranty is voided so they wont cover it! i said WHAT?!?!?! he said yeah, i put a turbo on it, and that voided my warranty. he says that they didnt turbocharge the SRT - yeah he said SRT not even neon. the srt was only a larger motor and suspension tweaking. i looked at him a laughed right in his face. i pointed to the valve cover that says TURBO right on it, then closed the hood and showed him where it said TURBO on the hood. then walked over to an srt they had on the lot - not 10' from where i parked - and pointed to the intercooler and said see. before i even let him say anything i got in my car and left 2 big black streaks out of the parking lot. i also called and complained, and the funny thing is he isnt working there anymore. he got 1 too many complaints about voiding warranties and not helping the customers!

this whole warranty thing is just getting out of hand. First, the guy was joking. The mag. moss act has been thrown around so much by people that have no idea what they are talking about. If mitsu decides to void your warranty, the MM act is irrellevant. You should contact mitsu first and then contact your state's consumer board. What are you really going to do? Sue mitsubishi for 1k? Take it from an attorney, you're wasting your money. I'd charge you more than that just to take the case, even if we won, I'd take it all. Please someone make a sticky of this or something because this argument has continued for too long.

If your car has significant rust problems, mitsubishi will fix it. A small little chip happens when you drive the car on the street. If you dont like it, leave the car in the garage. I've got chips on all of my cars and guess what, sh$t happens.
