THE MECHANIC THE OWNER OF AN INDEPENDENT SHOP, COMPLETED A TUNE UP OF THE 3.0 LITER ENGINE, THAT WAS RUNNING FINE WHEN BROUGHT TO HIM. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THEN THE ENGINE HAD A LOUD GRINDING AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS BLOWING UP. THE MECHANIC TOOK THE SPARK PLUGS OUT AND USED A LIGHT TO DETERMIN
... E THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS CRACKED AND RUINED FROM A LOOSE PIECE OF METAL THE SIZE OF A MANS TOE NAIL. THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY RUINED AND MUST BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC DISPUTES THE FACT HE DID ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE DAMAGE BUT WAS WILLING TO INSTALL ANOTHER ENGINE IF I PURCHASED IT. THIS IS THE THIRD ENGINE THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED ON AND THE LAST TIME WAS WHILE I OWNED THE VEHICLE TOO. I HAD THE VEHICLE INTO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC FOR A TUNE UP. THEY DID A TUNE UP FOR $625, WHICH THEY FIRST CALLED AND QUOTED $350 THEN CALLED BACK AND CHANGED IT TO THE $625. THEY COMPLETED THE TUNE UP MOVED THE CAR OUT TO SEE HOW IT RAN. THE VEHICLE RAN FINE BUT ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AFTER IDLING THAT LENGTH OF TIME A PIECE OF METAL THE SIZE OF A SPARK PLUG ELECTRODE WAS LOOSE IN A CYLINDER AND RUINED THE ENGINE. THE SHOP DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE THEY INSIST THE FAILURE IS NOT THEIR FAULT, BUT SINCE IT HAPPENED UNDER THEIR CARE THEY ACTUALLY FOUND A WRECKED MONTERO WITH A60,000 MILE ENGINE AND INSTALLED IT FOR THE PRICE OF THE TUNE UP. THE CAR WAS OUT OF COMMISSION FOR THREE WEEKS AND WE WERE NOT REIMBURSED FOR TIME AND EXPENSE BUT THE SHOP DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF REPLACING. THE ENGINE BLOCK OF THE OLD ENGINE WAS SITTING ON THE FLOOR OF THE SHOP WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR. THE CYLINDER THAT WAS RUINED WAS SCRATCHED AND SCOURED COMPLETELY OVER THE WHOLE THING. SHOULD I FIND AND INSTALL AN ENGINE IT WILL BE NUMBER FOUR, THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD TO REPLACE AN ENGINE WHEN HE OWNED IT. *JBRead more

I OWN A 1995 MITSIBUSHI MONTERO SR. ABOUT A WEEK AGO I NOTICED AN OIL LEAK FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE CHECK IT OUT AND TOLD ME THAT THE REAR TRANSAXLE WAS CRACKED ON THE LEFT SIDE (DRIVER SIDE) WHERE IT WAS WELDED TOGETHER FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND DIFFERENTIAL OI
... L WAS LEAKING THROUGH THERE. I DROVE THE CAR BACK HOME ABOUT A MILE TO FIND OUT THAT IT COMPLETELY BROKE LOOSE AROUND THE WELD AND THE WHEEL WAS SLANTED ON A SIDE ALMOST TO COME OUT. IT'S HOLDING ON NOW BY ONLY THE OTHER PARTS OF THE REAR SUSPENSION. IT'S A GOOD THING I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY, SO ANYWAY I WENT TO MY LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT IT. I TOLD THEM THIS IS NOT SOMETHING NORMAL AND I THINK IT'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECT BECAUSE A WELD IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BRAKE NO MATTER WHAT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NEVER HIT UNDERNEATH THERE ISN'T ANY DAMAGE AROUND IT. MY MECHANIC SAID THE SAME THING THAT ALL HIS LIFE HE NEVER SAW SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SO I CALLED MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I EXPLAINED THEM THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THE SAME AS THE DEALER. IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DON'T CARE NOW I'M WITHOUT A CAR WHICH I DEPEND ON A LOT AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WOULD COST A LOT. SO I'M ASKING YOU PLEASE LOOK IN THE SITUATION BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM AND THE PEOPLE AT MITSUBISHI TRY TO AVOID IT I CAN TAKE DIGITAL PICTURES IF NEEDED TO BE SEEN OR CAN ARRANGE FOR SOMEBODY TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY CAR BECAUSE I CAN'T USE IT THE WAY IT IS MY CAR HAS ONLY 90,000 ON IT AND IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF ALL THE TIME AND I DON'T THINK THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPEN THANK YOU. *AKRead more
