2008 GTS TSB for seats?

My girl has the 08 GTS. The seats suck for lint. Is there a TSB anywhere for this?My 08 Silverado has the same issue and GM put out a TSB to get new seats.

Thanks

yea the seats do pick up a lot of lint. There is no TSB and I odn't think there will ever be one.

I've grown to love it... If I got lint of my shirt...all I gotta do is sit in my lancer and BAM....off my shrit and onto the car

pretty sure if there was no tsb for paint chipping and the other MAJOR issues with this car there would NEVER be a tsb for seats attracting lint.

get a gigantic lint brush and problem solved.

Mitsubishi can't even take care of the known problems with the lancers even if it smacked them straight between the eyes.

Lol I laughed pretty hard when I read that.... like really hard

Mitsubishi won't even fix the alignment issue, Cold start issue, or the F.A.S.T key issue, and I got kinda concerned when I saw someone suggest a TSB for seats. I thought the airbags were faulty or people were sliding all over the place when they drive. I became more at ease when I learned it was just lint.

read some of the older threads, cold start issue was mainly with the 08's, the alignment issue has to do with pulling to the left
