It's kind of funny going back and forth between NASIOC and here. Over here when something even minor happens it's "****ing Mitsubishi", "Typical Mitsubishi Crap". At NASIOC they have 100 owners that had to get engines replaced in their new 09 WRX's and many owners have comments like "Props to Subaru for taking care of me", "It's not that big a deal as they put a new engine in", and my favourite; "Every manufacturer has problems like this".
Even though their vehicles are no more reliable and in many cases less reliable there seems to be a difference in pride of ownership between Mitsu and owners of other brands. Part of it I guess is attributable to poor professionalism of dealerships you guys keep talking about (The two dealers I've dealt with in Canada have been as good and definitely no worse than any other dealer. In fact local Subaru dealerships are despised here.) but really the cars are pretty well middle of the pack reliability wise which isn't that bad these days.

OMG. Will people STOP SAYING THAT?!
Search Magneson vs. Moss Act. It is illegal for them to "void" a warranty. They can refuse work due to soemthing you did causing another part to fail though.

http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2...hi-lancer.html
I got an email at work about the Mitsubishi recall. I apologize if this is a double post, just wanted to make sure everyone knew about it!

How can we correct you?
They haven't heard of it. It exists. What's there to correct ?
They mention 6,903 cars recalled; is that the entire sales number
