Maybe this is the reason why so many Evo owners are being denied warranty claims. Even though Dealerships are being jerks about the claims, and the fact that Mitsu has a history of covering up recalls has put them in a tight situation. 2004 is supposed to be the start of a new Mitsubishi in terms of customer service, build quality, and warranty. Finbarr O'Neill made it work for Hyundai and he sure will succeed with Mitsubishi. Also, Mitsubishi has a biased opinion with young drivers. They had a program a couple years ago called "0-0" (0 down, 0 interest) has hurt Mitshubishi the most. They sold all these cars to 18-24 year olds and they couldn't finishing paying off the cars. Mitsu lost so much money off of that and now, they are trying to recoup the costs by denying '03 Evo claims. Let's see what happens to '04 Evos. Let me know if '04 models have warranty issues too...

/shrug It could be, but then again it could be just a way to raise the MRSP, get a little more cash, and then turn around and void your warranty afterwards.

This is true, crooked market people will try anything to make a buck, especially with the evolution on US soil
