Going to battle it out with Mitsubishi

[Trogdor]

Warranty review denied. I'm contacting a friend who is a lawyer in consumer rights to see what he thinks my next move should me. I'm also trying to get in contact with the person who actually makes that decision for further clarification as to the reason for the denial.

From reading the thread that schiedes posted and yours. It doesn't sound like you have to much to stand on.

Mitsubishi warranty= lol

Been that way for 20+ years

I think its time you bend over and take it like a man. YOU FAIL.

[Kracka]

P.S. I speak from experience, I think I'm one of the few here who's gotten a major $$$ part covered by Mitsubishi on a modified Evo.

[goodhart]

Bring it to Don Herring.

Looks like people with new Evo's should buy a spare ECU and take their stock one out and put it on a shelf until something happens

Problem with that is everything is networked in the car on a data bus. So I am guessing they have some ability to store data on multiple items. They could, doesn't mean they do. Like they could maybe store data for cases like this on the TCU or ACD computer etc etc.

But not a bad idea there

Mileage won't match up between the odometer and the ECU then...I can only imagine they're stored in different areas, otherwise it would be too easy to rollback the odometer. I think what it really comes down to is accepting responsibility for your actions. Warranties are not designed to cover aftermarket modifications. If an engine was modified and tuned, why should Mitsubishi cover it? I'm still in the 5/60 powertrain coverage, but if I were to blow up I sure wouldn't be blaming Mitsubishi (just like Scheides and Murlo didn't when theirs blew).

Trogdor, it really sucks that your rod failed and put a hole in your block and I do feel bad for you so please don't take my statements as anything they're not, that is not my intention.

I agree with Kracka, if you are going to play you have to be willing to pay. Also you are screwed. In the thread Scheides linked to it has Max Pressure listed in the ECU, which is boost pressure in Kpa.

Yep. This is why a mod $3k cars not $30k+ cars. I don't feel comfortable at this point in my life to toy around with and risk something that expensive. Maybe someday when I win the lotto (or BAC hits $40)

4G swap that bish!
