What owners say
Power transmission failed. The car stopped moving the speed was less than 30 miles per hour. The car will continue to move in reverse but not forward.
Consumer states transmission is slipping and there is irregular shifting. Dealer was not able to find a cut out replacement transmission because consumer's vehicle is a turbo, resulting in a purchase of a new transmission. Consumer received an extended warranty notification letter, however, warranty program excludes turbo engines.
The transmission of the vr4 has been the achilles heel of the car. It is absurd that mitsubishi does not provide replacement parts but instead chooses to only provide replacement transmissions. A way for them to make more money. Replacement parts would cost a lot less than a $4000 transmission replacement! I am extremely unhappy with their lack of action in this matter. Thier position seems to be purely profit driven.
Transmission went out without prior warning. As consumer pulled out of freeway vehicle began to jerk and moved 5 MPH. Dealer has advised consumer that transmission was completely out.
Park, in automatic transmission failed.
