good luck with the dealerships...you'll normally know right away if they are going to help you or jerk you around, but whichever the case, dont ever let a mitsu dealer that's acting shady touch your car. It's only grounds for them to screw you out of money and most likely your remaining warrenty if they blacklist your car on their service report.

Thats sucks... but it's just the begining... I have a 10 times worse story that lasted about 3 months with them.
Short version:
I bought a IX MR with 16,000 miles on it and within 400 miles this happened:
-2 New T-cases(They ****ed em up)
-2 Trans Rebuilds(They have no idea what the **** their doing)
-Went back to them in month 3 with the same problems with the car
-Told me it wasn't warrantied because they had information that i had been street racing on public roads, and my brother had an STI and we just go out and street race.(My Brother does not have an STI and Even if it was true that we were racin, which it wasn't, then they couldn't prove it)
-I ended up having to buy a new transmission.
-I have now owned the car for 30 weeks and driven it 9 of those weeks
Special Thanks to ****SUBISHI

There actually used to be 5 in san diego, but Escondido was shut down. I remember i was shopping around for a car back in 03 and they offered me the best deal, but i found a better one slightly, and a few months i went back there for some repair, an they were gone. how unfortunate.
Anyways, i hope that im not one of the lucky few that has to undergo a warranty item. but i feel for all that have and keep us updated on whats going on. Just in case it happens to more of us!

I dont understand how you can warranty a high performance car, and then void a warranty on the basis that you drive it hard. Ok so I bought a fast car but im going to put around in it, and god forbid it does break while im driving it hard Im beat.
The fact that your not modified makes this really stupid.
This race car label is bull, anyone can label any car with that.

I think all dealerships are like that. They have the worst customer service in the industry. The problem is that the majority of us (Evo owners) don't fight for $#it.
The mitsu dealership in SD is the same way (POS). They told me they never cover anything on evos under warranty. Your problem is far more serious you should fight it all the way.

We are soooo lucky in the Dallas/Fort Worth area we have 2 dealers that are very good and both have no problem with us modding our cars. Hell one of them actually puts Buschur parts on cars at the dealer and warranty them. This dealer also hosts some of the Evo meets. However I can certainly feel your pain as I had the same type of problem with my M3. I hope you get this resolved in a positive way. Best of luck my man!!!
I wouldn't mind going to there for service. =)
