Consumer Description

I HAD PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER IN APRIL 2007. AFTER HAVING THE CAR ONLY 2 WEEKS, IT WOULD NOT START. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS TESTED AND EXAMINED. ALL TESTS CAME BACK PERFECT. FROM THEN ON MY CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY NOT START. EVERY TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS IN THE SHOP 6 TIME FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT 3 1/2 WEEKS! NOTHING COULD BE DETECTED THEREFORE NOTHING WAS EVER FIXED!! I FILED A CLAIM WITH MITSUBISHI AND MY CAR WAS FINALLY DEEMED A LEMON. I HAD RECEIVED ANOTHER BRAND NEW 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER IN OCTOBER 2007. NOW IT BEING ABOUT 2 WEEKS SINCE HAVING THE CAR, I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM!!!! THE CAR JUST WON'T START. THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE ELSE THAT OWNS ONE OF THESE CARS THAT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES??!! I CANNOT BE THE ONLY PERSON THAT PURCHASED TWO BRAND NEW CARS THAT TURNED OUT TO BE LEMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! *JB
