so from what i understand, if you paid to have it fixed, mitsubishi will reimburse you for it? I took mine to a shop, who sent it to kormex, costing me over $3000, will mitsu give me my money back?

Yes, you can get your money back but if you do that then they wont replace your TC. I would rather get a new one but I still don't knw if the new ones are redesigned. I don't think they have really fixed the problem properly. It's just a new bandaid.

so your saying if i get my money back it would void the recall for me? So i would not be able to get it replaced for free next time it breaks?

Krusher · 12-03-2004, 06:24 PM

I think that's how it works. Because you already had it replaced and they are paying for that replacement they will not replace it again. You would have to ask them about that though.

WELL, SO WHERE DO WE COMPLAIN? i HAD MY tc INSPECTED AND NO LEAKS. BUT IF DESIGN IS FAULTY, THEN I DEFFINITELY WANT TO GET IT REPLACED/

This still isn't clear to me. I had my car checked out at the dealer for the recall and it checked out OK. Now if my TC locks up, breaks, cracks or whatever I can still take it in to be replaced under the recall? What if it keeps breaking does the recall still cover it?

my understanding is that once the dealer inspeacted the TC and everything checks out fine, then they will not replace the TC if something happens in 3 months. I used to have a TC recall in my carfax report but after I took the car there, the recall notice was removed and it said that the car was inspected.

Hello, i just went to dealership in elgin, il and they isnpected it OK. but the guy that was a manager was fuckin jackass, he was like : no we just order kits with new seals, we dont replace them. Im like what if it is broken. Well we dont know so far. ok then just replace the seals if it looks ok. At least nothing was breaking already

They will make it hard for you becasue it's an expensive fix but if you have any problems with it after the recall is done then call Transport Canada or the NHTSA. If enough people have problems after the recall is done they will have to do it again.

What's the matter guys - Don't want to read the 70 page orig t-case thread

If the dealer runs your vin number and it comes back the the recall has been performed they are obligated to fix it again. It's the dealers choice. In my case, they chose to fix it again, more than a year after I had the recall performed.
