THIS WILL NOW BE THE 5TH TRANSMISSION I HAVE HAD TO PUT INTO THIS VEHICLE. THE WARRANTY HAS NOW EXPIRED AND CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO COVER THE $5000 IT WILL COST TO REPAIR THE CAR. THEY CLAIM NO PRIOR RECORD OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. BETWEEN FAILURE, I HAVE RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS . IT HAS NEVER SHIFTED SMOOTHLY BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG UNTIL IT CAME TIME TO REPLACE THE UNIT WHEN IT COMPLETLY FAILED.*AK

AND THE CAR CANNOT DRIVE AT ALL UNLESS THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED, AND THE REPARE IS A $7,000 TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A PROBLEM FROM WHEN THE CAR WAS MADE, AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE IT. *AK

I HAVE HEARD THAT DODGE/MITSUBISHI HAD A LOT OF FAILURES ON THESE CARS AND IN 93 BUILT THEM WITH STRONGER PARTS.

THE TRANSMISSION IN QUESTION IS MADE BY GETRAG. THE MANUFACTURE LISTES THIS AS UNSERVICEABLE. THE AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TRANY ARE INCREDABLE. WHAT CAN WE DO AS CONSUMERS TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM A FAULTY MANUFACTURED PART?

WHILE TRAVELING AT 10 MPH THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE WENT SIDEWAYS.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES BUILT BY MITSUBISHI MOTOR CORPORATION FOR DAIMLERCHRYSLER, A CONDITION EXISTS THAT ALLOWS OIL TO LEAK FROM THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: LOW OIL LEVELS IN THE TRANSFER CASE COULD CAUSE BEARING DAMAGE AND RESULT IN DRIVE TRAIN LOCKUP, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TRANSFER CASE FOR INDICATIONS OF OIL LEAKAGE. VEHICLES THAT HAVE NO OIL LEAKAGE WILL HAVE THE TRANSFER CASE OIL CHANGED. VEHICLES THAT HAVE OIL LEAKAGE WILL HAVE THE TRANSFER CASE RESEALED OR REPLACED IF NECESSARY. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DECEMBER 2, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
UNDER CONDITIONS OF FULL LOCK STEERING AND FULL SUSPENSION TRAVEL, THE LEFT OR RIGHT FRONT WHEEL-SIDE BRAKE HOSE CAN CRACK, RESULTING IN BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE WILL CAUSE ILLUMINATION OF THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP AND REDUCTION IN BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT WHEEL-SIDE BRAKE HOSES WITH REVISED HOSE ASSEMBLIES.
