| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After my purchase of a 2003 mitsubishi eclipse gts, at ira nissan in tewksbury mass. i took the car to a mechanic. i was told that there were numerous problems with it including a transmission problem. i possessed the car for a day and a half and it has been in the shop now ever since. it has been about twelve days now. i have been going back and fourth between ira and a mitsubishi dealer which they are affiliated with. they told me that the noise in the front of the car is where the transmission is. the noise which sounds like rocks flying around in the front. the dealer said this noise is normal. the ira general manager also told me that it is normal for my car to go up to the h on the hot and cold gauge. he said his does it all the time. ira said that this issue was fixed. i have not seen nor driven the car yet since i brought it back so i do not know what is fixed and what is not fixed. i called the mitsubishi motors headquarters in texas, and gave then my vin number and they said there are absolutely no recall on the transmission of this specific car, nor should this noise be occurring. i also went on safercar.gov and they too said the only recall on this car is about lights. i also called ira 3 days ago and they told me that they lost my title and i can't register my car either. now i need some information on my options and where to go from here. *jb |
