I know Lexus and BMW hook up stuff like that, but will Mitsu? I've never had a car with a warranty until my Evo.

It has an annoying rattle coming from the dash, and a vibration you can feel through the steering wheel at 55-85 mph or so (I just had new tires mounted and balanced, and that didn't fix it).

"Thank you for calling Mitsu Shitsu how can i help"
"Yes, do you guys do loaner cars if i bring mine in for service"


"Yes, it depends on the service and how long"
"No, our cars arent worth a damn, find your own way out of our dealership till we get done with your junker vehicle"

Acura does too.

shot in the dark:

brake rotors or cv joint?
loose trim piece.

[Edited on October 4, 2007 at 7:07 PM. Reason : i didn't think they had loaners available.]

i thought annoying rattles from the dash was the luxury of owning a Japanese car

10/4/2007 7:09:02 PM

if they keep the car over 24hrs you should get a rental car

10/4/2007 7:53:05 PM

^^ no, that's the joy of owning a domestic

10/4/2007 7:54:00 PM

thats the joy of owning NGR PWR!

leith VW does if its over 2 day

how could that cause a vibration you could feel through the steering?


i just looked at the rotors the other day...all looked in good shape. CV joints would surprise me...only has 17.5k miles.

No.

Mitsubishi does not have a service like that.

There might be a dealer somewhere that does, but non-luxury makes generally do not hand out loaners.

^non-luxury? i thought Evo's were at the peak of luxury.

Sometimes it's dealer-specific. Even though I bought my Marauder used, I was told that since I have an extended warranty I could get a loaner if the car was in for service for longer than overnight. Wouldn't apply at any dealer other than where I bought it from though (Michael Jordan Lincoln-Mercury in Durham).

my chevy stealership gives me a loaner when i need it.

10/5/2007 9:02:48 PM

ASK BBR!

you can just look at the rotors and think they are in good shape.

17.5K miles is enough to make some vibrations. i would def get them checked out a long with other shizzle.

yup.. anything over one day, or sometimes if they have a car available for just one day stuff, always nice top of the line stuff. We've had TSX, MDX loaded, RDX loadded, TL and TL Type S recently, even when just in for normal service type stuff...

that's why i said cv joint. i had a joint go bad on my car with 20k on it. it also could be a bunch of other crap. i really think it's warped rotors, but i wanted to put it out there (stab in the dark).

the rattle could be a trim piece that wasn't assembled properly when it was installed.

both of those things happened in my car. never buy a honda product.
