2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse SPYDER GT from North America - Comments

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Was lied to before I even got the care, they told me it was brand new being brought up from Illinois, 1.5 weeks later they told me it cleared customs and was in Canada, and 4 days later I found out the car never even left the plant down there, but they had another one in Moncton that had 800 KM's on it.

The first rain storm we had I took the car out, and noticed that when I went down hill the stereo cut out, and going back up hill it came back on. Thought it was a lose wire, until I went to clean the car 3 days later. I went to remove the mats on the passenger side of the car and it was FILLED with water, there is a leak in the under part of the car, the leak fried the stereo amplifier, and all the speakers. The car has been sitting at the dealership, since Monday morning, and today is Thursday morning, they can see the water filling, but still do not know where it is coming from.

General comments?

I spent $53,000 Canadian for a car that I have been able to drive for 11 days, if the car is not ready by Thursday PM, I am going down and demand a new car, or a full refund for that one.

I should have kept my 9 year old Sebring, that was still in Mint Condition : (

If there was a leak on the underside of the car don't you think it would have drained out in three days?

Turns out there was a seam in the car that was ripped, and it was higher up under the tire-well. So when I was drivng home for 2 days in the rain, it was filling up... I have also had more problems since then... The windshield has since cracked, which was caused by a stress fracture, the turn signal has condensation in it...

I am in the process of trying to get another car, or I will be forced to try and get a refund...
