| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: July, 2005 a/transmission shifting erratic, slipping, creating hazardous driving conditions due to loss of control. mitsubishi dealership performed a/t flush and erratic behavior was cleared. on first road trip after this repair, the neutral shift indicator, "n", began to flash after vehicle was traveling on highway for 45 minutes. according to the owners manual, this indicates the a/t is overheating and vehicle should be brought to a stop to avoid damage and/or injury. i have taken the vehicle back several times without any resolution as the dealership claims they were not able to duplicate my complaint. on my last visit of 12/19/06, the dealership recommends i upgrade the a/t oil pan to a larger one per tsb 00-23-008 at my cost. this potential fire hazard is not due to a damage or a part that has worn out. this is an obvious design defect that the manufacturer should correct at no cost to the consumer. please assist me in resolving this situation. *jb |
