Consumer Description

ABOUT A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, IT SAT FOR 3 DAYS WHILE I WAS AWAY ON NAVY BUSINESS. WHEN I RETURNED, I HAD TO SIT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I NOTICED THE ENGINE TEMP GAUGE WAS FULL HOT. I FINALLY GOT TO A ROAD TO LET THE ENGINE BREATH, AND THE GAUGE DIDN'T GO DOWN. I TOOK THE CAR TO KELLY MITSUBISHI THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPEN. I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT THE HEATER DIDN'T PUT OUT HOT AIR. THEY REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. NO PROBLEMS SINCE THEN.
