Consumer Description

MITSUBISHI EVOLUTION CLUTCH FAILURE, I BOUGHT A 2003 LANCER EVOLUTION 8, I HAD IT FOR LESS THEN 5000 MILES BEFORE THE CLUTCH STARTED TO WEAR DOWN, I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER FOR WARRANTY WORK, THEY ACCEPTED THE WARRANTY WORK, ADDING THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE CHARGED ME 1500$ FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS ABUSE, NOW THE CAR IS AT 10,000 MILES DOING THE SAME THING, I USE THIS CAR TO GO TO AND FROM WORK ONLY, SINCE I HAVE TWO CARS, NOW THEY WONT EVEN TAKE MY CALLS, IF I MENTION LANCER EVOLUTION CLUTCH TO ANY MITSUBISHI WARRANTY DEPARTMENT, THEY CUT ME OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE AND SAY"THE CLUTCH WEAR IS CAUSED BY ABUSE, SIR THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CLUTCH IT IS YOUR FAULT!" THEN PROCEED TO HANG UP ON ME. IM TIRED OF THIS, AND IM NOT GOING TO PAY UP TO 1900 FOR A PROBLEM THEY CAUSED. MY CAR IS NOW IN OPERABLE! 3 DAYS AFTER THE CLUTCH STARTED SLIPPING! *JB
