So my car was taken to Ray Reece two weeks ago and there it sits...a freshly broken lancer window that speedy auto glass tried to make fit into an evo in the driver side door and a still broken steering column because "they don't have that part anywhere in the country because nobody's dumb enough to try to hotwire evos" So, they apparently are just waiting until Mitsu manufactures another one...yes, I said manufactures.

And apparently the car is "undriveable" without it. Dammit!

If there's one thing I know about America, it's that this country is just chock full of idiot criminals, so if anybody at Mitsubishi is reading this, please make more of these lock switch parts so next evo owner won't have to wait three weeks to drive his car again.

Manufactures? That sounds like BS to me.

What he said. It may take 3 weeks for them to get it, but you can rest assured, they didnt just stop making it until someone phones up and says "Oh yes, i ned one of those please"

Thats perfectly normal. I run into this all the time with new vehicles that need parts (not just Mitsu) that really need them before the replacement interval could possibly have been met. The BS might lay in the fact that there are how many Evos in the US and I am sure that this isnt the first time someone has had this same problem. I also couldnt see the IX being that different from the VIII as far as a switch goes.

Well being as the Evo is fully made in Japan I believe most US Mitsu dealers dont stock hardly any Evo parts...they are all ordered from Japan.

Now they're saying maybe Thursday, making it almost three weeks because "they had to manufacture the part in Japan"

Way to go Mitsubishi!

^^ I guarantee you, if they had to re-tool a machine to re-start manufacturing a part, the scheduling alone would extend past 3 weeks...let alone shipping...Rey Reece is BSing you...just like every other $tealership on the face of the planet...

+1 They're feeding you BS because they have to order the part from Japan and they probably keep forgetting to, so they're coming up with a nice story.

it sound like a load of crap they have to pull one off the assemboly line it happens with new cars and parts that haven't been need that often. i work at a ford dealer and it happens to us atleast once a week on a new car they have to pull it from the fatory line

I would search out salvage yards and try to get one off a wrecked evo.
