RALLIART 04 LEMON LAW????
HI , after being very happy with my new purchase , now I fund my self very sad.......
I purchase a RA 04 with 4 miles 4 weeks ago, after one day I took it to the dealer for detailing because it was to late in the date to do it the day before, so I droped the car at the dealer and went I went to pick up the car the car had a dent in the back driver side fender next to the gas cap.
After getting in to a bit of a argue with the sales manager he agree on giving me a new car from the LOT, so one day later I return mind with 120 Miles and got other out the lot with only 7 miles not a bad deal no?
Well after driven the second RA to my job 120 miles , I nourest the the car Pulls left on the highway, cons urn about it I call the dealer and made a appointment to have this fix, Took the car in the day of the appointment to get fix, went I pick up the car and drove away I realized that the car was pulling left, went back to the dealer and after question about the repair they informed that the problem was the tire and not the alignment , in the dealer they are not responsible for the tires that is part of the tire supplier for the car in this case GOODYEAR'S, so I went the fallowing day to the Goodyear's store were there tech work on the car change tires and all but the problem did not went away..............
One more time the day after I went back to the dealer , they took the car back in for service this time they call the tech line Mitsubishi were the dealer tech got inform on what to do, He did everything the tech line Mitsubishi tall him to do , they change tire with other RA from the lot , they re-aling the car fro the 3 time , they checked tire pressure and all, even the tech line tall the dealer to try EVO tire on which is a bit DUMMY if you ask me , but any ways GUYS the PROBLEM IS NOT GOAND AND THE CAR PULL LEFT the dealer told me to OPEN A CLAIM CASE WITH MITSUBISHI because they said this is out of there hand now ......

find another mitsu dealer that want's to help you for one. if it's not the alignment or the tires it has to be something else wrong. did your dealer even look at anything else?

I also just purchased an 04 Lancer RA, and it too pulls to the left. I just assumed that it was because of the aftermarket wheels and tires that the dealer put on, but I think I will take it in now. Thanks for your post.

Madmat is right, find another dealer. My parents 03 camry tires started to chop in the rear, and toyota replaced it for them free of charge. The car was in our possesion for almost 7 month's and had over 5000 miles on it. If the dealers still don't comply, call the Better Business Bureau or any other sanctioning consumer relations services in your area. Remember, once a dealer sells you a car, most of them consider their job to be done. I hope everything works out good for you, good luck.

ciclon-
I bought a new dodge srt4 and had a VERY similar problem with it pulling right. After 3 weeks, about 80 miles of dealer test driving, and 3 alignments, it was stilling pulling to the right. [:@] I was getting VERY frustrated and about to file a lemon law claim myself. Well, the service guy I was working with called a Dodge engineer and he suggested checking the engine mounts. After adjusting the mounts, the car drive straight as an arrow. Hopefully, this might be something you could look into. GOOD LUCK!
My woman also bought an 04 ralliart and LOVES the thing.

^^^ take it to another garage
a non-mitsu dealer garage
let them check out the car
just check, but not perform any repairs
get their diagnosis
if it's a problem with the car they should detect it
that is the alignment should be detected - if it needs any suspension parts they should be able to tell you
sometimes the dealers try to cover-up defects byy tellig you that the car i sworking well, when it really isn't
