1991 Mitsubishi 3000Gt complaints

TRANSMISSION CASE CRACKED AFTER CAR POPPED OUT OF GEAR FOR NO REASON. MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3,000.*AK

TRANSFER CASE SPLINE FAILED. *AK

THE END OF THE REAR COVER OF THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION BLEW OFF, EXPELLING THE 5TH GEAR SYNCHONIZER ASSEMBLY AND ALL LUBRICANT FROM THE TRANSAXLE CASE. LUCKLY, THE CAR WAS ONLY TRAVELING ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURED. CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN A SLIGHT GRADE THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT TIME OF FAILURE. PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE.*AK

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IF THIS VEHICLE WAS "ROLLED BACK" OR NOT. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN SUMMARY. *AK

ECM CONTROL UNIT FAILED. *ET

THE TRANSMISSION IS MADE BY A GERMAN COMPANY CALLED "GETRAG". THEY ONLY WILL SELL A COMPLETE NEW UNIT AND WILL NOT SELL REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE PARTS ARE WEAK FROM THE START WITH MANY KNOWN FAILURES OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS, AND ALSO THEIR WEAK OUTPUT SHAFTS. THE SYNCRONIZERS ARE THE MOST COMMON THING TO GO WITH MY 2ND AND 3RD GEAR BEING REPLACED WITH USED ONES TWICE WITH NO SUCCESS. THESE TRANSMISSIONS ARE GARBAGE AND WITHOUT INDIVIDUAL REPLACEMENT PARTS BEING AVAILABLE BUYING A WHOLE NEW UNIT FOR $5,000 IS NOT A VERY GOOD SOLUTION. I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A MONOPOLY SUCH AS THE ONE GETRAG AND MITSUBISHI HAVE FORMED TOGETHER. *AK

THE TRANSFER CASE LITERALLY EXPLODED, PIECES EVERYWHERE. MITSUBISHI REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING SMELLED SOMETHING, INTERNAL FAILURE RESULTED IN THERE BEING A HOLE IN THE TRANSMISSION, NOT ABLE TO GET REAPIR BECAUSE HE CAN'T FIND THE PART.

CONSUMER WAS PULLING OUT ONTO ROAD ,PUT VEHICLE IN THIRD GEAR WHEN IT BEGAN TO ACCELERATE SUDDENLY WITHOUT HAVING PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO FALL OFF. *AK

LEAKAGE IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED CLUTCH TO FAIL AND ALSO LEAKAGE IN TRANSFER CASE.

DID NOT HAVE A BRAKE PROBLEM BEFORE BRINGING VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR RECALL WORK. NOW VEHICLE HAS NO BRAKING ABILITY/LEAKS, AT DEALERSHIP TO BE CORRECTED. 96V143002. *AK CONSUMER STATES THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING SYSTEM UNTIL SHE TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL, THEY LEFT AIR IN THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE HOSE WAS NOT FASTENED ON TIGHTLY, WHICH RESULTED IN NO BRAKES.*JB

WHILE DRIVING EXPERIENCES ABS BRAKES MALFUNCTIONING WHEN RIGHT FRONT BRAKES LOCKS UP AND PEDAL TRAVELS TO FLOOR, REPLACED CALIPERS TWICE, VEHICLE RAN INTO A DITCH. *AK *JB
