Transfer Case Officially Recalled - Page 61 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

BoostHungry · 09-07-2004, 02:14 PM

I was wondering if anyone had, or had access to, the offical step by step that mitsu/dodge mechanics are supposed to follow? i'm starting to put together a legal case against this dealer for cracking my trans, also during the recall they left my vent cap off, and even after having that put back on it's still leaking.

my transfer case broke while i was driving and the dealer refuses to fix it, its a 92 3000gt vr4 when i look it up it says that it is under recall. I called the dealer and he said its not under recall. What do i do?

Go over his head. Contact the district or regional manager. He's obviously misinformed.

YESSSSSSSS my transfer case is leaking

sweet deal

edit: damn, I just read like almost all 61 pages of this thing... sounds like most of you are getting screwed. My car was sent to Mitsu in July (right before I bought it) for the recall and they said there were no leaks. Well currently, the whole underside of my car is drenched in oil, and other orange and brown miscellaneous fluids, and the transfer case is definitely saturated so i'm sure that must be one of the things that is leaking. I REALLY hope since my car was sent to Mitsu once they don't try and tell me it's already been "taken care of"

Damn this thread got big. So, Jenna do you know wether or not the sealring on the transfer case was a part of your recall at the time you took it to Mitsubishi. When I took mine - about a year ago, the bastards miss-threaded the fill plug, so it's currently carefully screwed in. How long it'll last, who knows.

...I have no idea. I thought they were supposed to fix whatever was broken on the tc? I have the invoice right here... this is what it says:

A CUST STATE PERFORM OPEN RECALLS (C0203N) (TRANSFER CASE)
CAUSE: INSPECT PER RECALL
DCHCK INSPECT TRANSFER CASE FOR LEAKS - VEHICLE OK AT THIS TIME
362 WPM
R.O. OPENED: 7:52
READY: 8:28

So apparently it took em about 30 minutes to check, and apparently they noticed nothing was wrong... I just hope it doesnt count as my only recall visit to Mitsu. I should call them today...

Guess what... Its my birthday,and today the TC arrived in the mail!!!!
My nearest dealer arranged so that i got it in mail,change it myself and return the old one. All free of cost! Yippi

If i wanted to i could have driven the car to them and let them do the job also,but..... It is after all faster to do it myself

So if there is a future problem they're not going to say that it was an install issue and they can't guarantee it was your fault?
