| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When driving my vehicle the transmission does not shift gears properly. normal operation of the vehicle leads to jerky transitions from gear to gear and results in the inability to gauge the amount of pressure need to maintain/reach/sustain speed. this occurs in both highway and city environments. i have had the car serviced according to mfg'r recommendations of every 3000 miles. i have about 35000 miles on the vehicle at this point. it started doing this at about 4000 miles. i have had the vehicle checked multiple times. when taken to the dealership they informed me nothing was wrong. i have changed the trans. fluid as well as all filters. i was told this is 'normal' for the car. i do not think however that this is a typical behavior for new vehicles. i have also had a problem for the past 1500 or so miles with my breaks squeaking. when i try to stop or pull out from a parking space they have a squealing sound. i have also had this evaluated at the mitsubishi repair shop and was informed they are fine.*ak |
