| Number of Cylinders: 4 | Date of Manufacturer: - |
| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The radiator blew apart while driving on the hwy causing the engine to quickly overheat. there were no warning lights to indicate there was a problem. upon inspection by my mechanic it was discovered that the cylinder head also cracked. he was aware of a possible known issue and contacted mitsubishi who verified a problem with the cooling fan controller. after having the vehicle towed to the mitsubishi dealership i was told by them that they would only cover the cost of the parts and not the labor. i would have thought that if a defective part caused these problems that i shouldn't have to pay anything much less over $1,100 in labor. |
