I completley agree however when I picked the truck up last week it was supposivley fixed. Only knew there was a problem on saturday when it threw another code while driving. What can you do?
Exactly, Buzzy, they keep saying "It's fixed this time" and refusing to drive it beyond that opens another can of worms - loss of faith in a vehicle has no legal backing...
I finally heard from the lease company today - it's a shame one has to email the MD and attach all the emails no-one has replied to in order to be heard... Let the arse kicking begin, fingers crossed...

I have 50k of my hard earned sitting in your garage atm and the only contact I have with all this is your workshop so to be honest I dont give a stuff how Greg reacts.
I put the pressure on and he can then pass it on to whoever he likes, hopefully he passes it on to MMA and not you guys. Thats the way it works.
I think I have been more than patient so far, how long would you let this go on for?????

I asked for the managers Triton as he was the one who would be driving my vehicle to fault it, full well knowing he would flog it so i thought it was only fair for me to give his Triton a good going over.
The new truck, with no engine mods at all went into into its first limp mode on sunday night with no warning lights. 5226km on the clock. cruise control up Mt ously towing the camper easily holding its 80kph then nothing, throttle just dissapeared. With the weight of the trailer it did not even have enough grunt to get me up the hill to the nearest area where i could pull off the road. i had to come to stop, shut it down start again and take off.....
Farking shat myself expescially that i had my 5 month old girl in the car and the wife. Not happy one bit! straight onto mitsubishi customer service and with my history with them they wanted the car in asap. Took it to the dealer monday morning no error codes stored.... Matter of time before some one gets cleaned up due to this issue.
