Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The car just stopped moving in the middle of a highway and their was no wierd sounds to forwarn me of anything! this happened in january 2001 and the dealer said it was the clutch. the dealer was rude/mean, but then i called mitsubishi motors and they told the dealer to change the clutch. here it is 22 months later, 10/2002, and the clutch is going out again the dealer is telling me. the dealers service women told me i must be a bad driver, and i told her i've drove sticks for 23 years and never had to replace a clutch before, let alone 2 clutches! something is wrong with this car! 2nd problem they said and my title shows the car to be a 1998, yet the original sticker on the body around the door says manufactured in the usa in 1997. dt
