No summary listed for above vehicle.
Recall # 98v168001 power train: transfer case (4-wheel drive) dealer stated that recall work was performed some time ago. Even though recall work was performed consumer is experiencing leaks and noises coming from the transfer case. Vehicle was taken to another dealership about a month ago. Dealership stated that the transfer case was shot, meaning that it was empty.
I was told by a the federal safety agency conselor that I had to fill out this form to solve my problem. I have a 1991 mitubishiu galant vr4 . This vehical has an awd drivetraion . To my knowlage all mitubishi vehicals with this feature between 1990 to 1998 were recalled. I personaly know about 40 other 1991 mitubishi galant owners who had the recall performed. For some reason they (the manufacturer ) refused my VIN # . I have documentation from a previouse dealer that my difirential was damaged and is leaking. This was told to me before I knew about the recall. I was going to pay for the repair but was informed by your web site that my vehical was (?) part of the recall. I believe that mitubishi realised that my vehival will require the replaced diffirential and that is why they are denining it. Any info that I could give them to persuade them into performing (just the inspection ) would be great. They have refused to even look at my car under the recall.
Transfer case locks up rear wheels, causing a 75 foot skid. The car was towed by flatbed to stohlman 6/1/99. The damage was assessed, and is still at stohlman due to lack of parts from mitsubishi. I have called to get an estimated completion date from service mgr. Gary beavers, but he will not give me one. I find this highly unacceptable, especially due to the fact that I could have been killed had I been driving at highway speeds when this component failed. I have contacted mitsubishi customer service and the dealership to try and secure a rental vehicle or a loaner vehichle to no avail. Please feel free to contact me at my home number or my cellular number (cell 703.973.7016)
