NHTSA Complaint #10490039 — 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER

FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 12/6/10 WHEN THE CAR HAD 11,000 MILES ON IT. SOMETIMES WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVS UP BUT THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 25 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2009. THE VEHICLE ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO MITSUBISHI CORPORATE AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTERS SEVERAL TIMES. THE SERVICE CENTERS ADMIT TO KNOWING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT WON'T FIX IT UNLESS THE CAR ACTS UP WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE IT. MITSUBISHI FINALLY AGREED TO TAKE MY CAR IN AND PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL ON 1/11/13 DO TO A RECENT ACCIDENT DUE TO THE CAR DEFECT BUT NO PROMISE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WAS MADE. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR IS WIDELY REPORTED ONLINE...
