Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN OCTOBER OF 2003 AND IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED A GRINDING COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT INTO LANCASTER MITSUBISHI IN PENNSYLVANIA AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A COMMON TRANS NOISE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS PASSED BY AND THE NOISE KEPT GETTING LOUDER AND NOW MY CLUTCH IS SLIPPING. I HAVE NEVER BEAT OR RACED MY CAR. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST CARS I HAVE EVER OWNED AND THE ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE. I DON'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE TO KEEP DRIVING IT THE WAY IT IS AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. PRETTY SOON I WILL BE OUT OF A CAR. *NM
