Consumer Description

THE HEATER CORE OF THE 2002 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND/OR REDESIGNED BY MITSUBISHI. AS IT IS, JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE POST I SEE ONLINE ABOUT THIS CAR HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE HEATER IS POSITIONED DIRECTLY ABOVE THE CAR'S COMPUTER , OR ECU , AND THEREFORE CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, SUSPENSION, ETC.. THE ENTIRE 80-PAGE THREAD LINKED BELOW IS ALMOST COMPLETELY ABOUT THIS ISSUE : HTTP://WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/VIEWCOMMENTS_REVIEW_76426.HTML THERE ARE MANY OTHERS LIKE IT. THE ISSUE IS MENTIONED IN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS BY MITSUBISHI BUT IS NOT RECALLED. PEOPLE ARE BUYING THIS CAR USED AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE (AROUND $1200 REPAIR). *TR
