Mitsi recall

[konman]

Just spoke to Mitsi and there is a recall for Galant VR4 with chassis numbers beginning with either EC5W or EC5A... if you have these numbers then you should be getting a letter from the LTSA. There somesort of braking problem. Hope no one has one of these bung vehicles.

[KiwiTT]

This Recall was announced in November 2001 in Japan.

[KiwiTT]

My Car is on this List. I have been ordered to take my car of the road.

Is yours ?

[Kyoshu]

Damn, that sucks. I'll check mine now.

[Kyoshu]

Not on the list, but stink that your on it. What happens to your car now? Do you need to take it in and get something fixed?

[Pescha]

Thank God..... I'm sweet! Sighs in huge relief......

Spoken with Mitsubishi Motors. If it is on the list it has not been repaired in Japan.

They will pay for the parts $3,000(est), I will have to pay for the labour at $800(est). They will send a letter, when the parts arrive and are ready to install.

• Mechanical Warranty - excludes this
• NZ AA Plus - excludes this
• AMI Insurance - excludes this

I have contacted the my dealer, to see what they offer.

In the meantime, I am going to rent a car @ $23.00 or less per day for the 2 weeks and then see what I do then.

I don't usually swear, but now I am swearing like a trooper.


PS: I also heard a car went straight through a "red light". I don't want that to happen so I will take it off the road until it is repaired

[Spirit]

Sh1t Richard that's bad news mate ! Surely if it's a recall then Mitsi are responsible for the whole lot arn't they ????

[KiwiTT]

I agree. Our Consumer "Watchdog" said that too. However, NZMMC are pointing to the "importers" as being responsible.

PS: Thanks Guys and Gals, For your support.
PPS: I still think the VR-4 is a Great Car.

[Spirit]

Keep persuing action mate, if the car had been imported to NZ brand new then Mitsy would have paid for it - after all they made the car so they should pay not the importer ! Surely they just claim the cost back from MMCJapan ?

Came to work by Taxi today ...

This recall thing is a bloody shocker.... got pushed from pillar to post yesterday trying to find out what the deal was... finally found out this morning that if you give you chassis number to Mitsi wellington (04 237 0109, ask for tech department) they can tell you if it needs the fix or if it was fixed in japan... what a f@cking circus !!!!!!!!! anyway turns out mine's alright, it was given the fix in japan... so now dad can have his car back and i go back to having fun on the way to work !!! i feel for you other guys though... couple of my mates have had their cars pulled off the road and they are not happy campers by any stretch of the imagination. Peace ! :-b

[Kyoshu]

Damn, that must have cost a bit. Heard this morning that dealers are trying to band together to sue Mitsubishi and get them to pay for the damamges. Lets hope it goes to the Mitsi owners favour.

[KiwiTT]

Getting a Rental Car @ $20 per day.

Still cheaper than Public Transport

[KiwiTT]

Just got the rental car. It wallows and rolls, dips and dives. People drive cars that do this on a daily basis. :rolleyes5

I have a new found respect for people in lessor cars than a VR-4. They are braver than me.

[dickytim]

Richard, luckily mine was not involved being a manual, but I was reading the importer has some legal responsibilities to you possibly for the labour, see www.mitsubishi-motors.co.nz I think and possibly call your dealer.

Hope this helps Richard

Just out of interest could u have a look under the bonnet and see if there is a mushroom type of ball thing on the end of ur ABS pump, it would be under the plugs to pump where the intercooler pipe turns just after the MAF. Photo would be nice too.

Cheers,

Rhys

Just heard on the news that Mitsi motors are going to pay for parts and labour. They do say by law they dont have too, but they will pay for the lot. Aint they nice! I think they were freating that the car yards would sue and it would cost more!

So much for thinking of the consumers safety and pocket! What happened to Social Justice?

cheers,
Pescha!
