I purchased a 2001 mitsubishi montero ltd from gibbons toyota in eynon, pa. I also purchased a warranty from them. My engine light comes on. They say sensors have to be changed. Light came back on. Changed another sensor, light came on. Now they say it is the catalytic converter. They tell me it is covered by mitsubishi for 8 yrs. They try ertley motor world numerous times and cannot get them to respond. They are in wilkes-barre, pa. Gibbons mgr then contacted domiano's in archbald. They to did not want to have anything to do with this. Why is it that mitsubishi dealers will not stand behind their warranty's. This is the 4th mitsubishi I have owned, and now that I see the service, it will be the last. They are very ignorant people. They treat you like dirt. Very arrogant. Something should be done about this. There is an 8 yr warranty on the converter, and it should be changed with no hassle. Thank you. This has been going on for the last 6 months.

Dt: the contact stated that while driving on an incline the gear shift indicator moved from drive to neutral. The vehicle would not move forward, so he pulled over. Upon stopping the check engine light came on. There was smoke coming from under the hood, but no fire. He walked away from the vehicle and called 911 and a towing service. When the tow truck arrived he discovered a lot of oil underneath the vehicle and suspected this was from the transmission. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, who noted that the transmission line disconnected from the vehicle. There was no explanation as to why this occurred. The dealer installed new lamps, refilled fluid to proper levels, and cleared the code. The transmission line was also replaced with a new one. No further problems since the repair.

Since I purchase this vehicle (2001 mitsubishi montero limited), I always had problem with the "check engine" light problem. The third day I got the vehicle from the alhambra mitsubishi dealership, the light turn on. And always got the same reply " make sure the gas cap is closed properly". I had 5 cars and I never had any kind of problem like exept this montero limited. My car has 63000miles right now, and the light will turn on every 2month. And now the vehicle has the light on again, and dealer will not do or care about the problem. This problem always happen when the car is going uphill or when it need power. Also the brake light keep failing.
