The manufacturers have always tried to put the responsibility on the owner. I heard they stopped selling the 3000GT here because the warranty claims cost them so much. I bet the Eclipse switched to an N.A. motor for the same reason.

This time around, Mitsubishi did a much better job of training the service managers to blame the owner for everything that ever went wrong with the car. That was probably much less expensive than a factory-installed turbo timer.

Haha, auto window up.

I'm not a very good electrician, but we really need someone to figure out which wire to bypass to the ECU in regards to this feature.
