Consumer Description

MITSUBISHI REPLACED THE HEAD GASKET AT 38,000 MILES DUE TO IT LEAKING OIL. OWNER REPORTED IT LEAKING OIL 2000 MILES LATER. MITSUBISHI DENIED THERE WAS A LEAK. I JUST HAD TO REPLACE MY HEAD GASKET AT 58008 MILES DUE TO IT LEAKING OIL. THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG WITH AN ENGINE THAT GOES THROUGH 2 HEAD GASKETS AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO SETTLE THIS MATTER THROUGH THE DEALER. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT TRULY NEEDS A SOLUTION.*AK
