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"

brake rotors or cv joint?
loose trim piece.

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

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.

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).

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.
