Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2003 mitsubishi lancer ls, frm the mmsa co. used parking lot, with only a 100 miles. car seemed to run fine, and then it started to randomly revv and them stall. it wasnt that bad at first, but 06/04 it became a problem. id stall about 8-12 x a day (avg.), id taken it to the mitsu dealers who all said: they fixed it, couldnt replicate the problem, or there was nothing wrong. while on the freeway, i started to brake and then realized that i had no power to my car- it had stalled in motion. all lights were on on dashboard and the lenght between me and the other car was inevitable. even when i had taken it to a dealer only 4 days before who said they fixed it. i ended up totally my car and recieved many injuries, and mitsubishi didnt even help me. at the time of my crash i had just hit 10000 miles- i should not have had a problem like this with a brand new (basically) car.*ak |
