Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased my 2002 mitsubishi lancer brand new. from day 1, i have had problems with the transmission. it slips and it revvs really high and causes my car to lunge forward. i have taken it in many, many times to be fixed. as i am writing this, my car is in the shop for the transmission. this is a brand new car, i should be driving it and enjoying it, not constantly going without my car because it's always in the shop. i told them, that i wanted a new transmission, or a new car. i was told that it doesn't work that way. what do i do? i paid for a defective car and no one will fix the problem. i am extremely unhappy with mitsubishi vehicles right now. i was thinking about buying a mitsubishi station wagon, but i am worried that i may get myself in the same situation. please help me. i don't think that a new transmission is out of order here. thanks. *jb
