Samual Cragston - 27 Feb 2006 05:09 GMT
I have a 04 TW ES Magna Sedan I had it since new I have currently
covered 22,000 or so on it but I have had numerous of problems with
the car.
Drivers door does not shut properly I have taken it to the dealers a
few times but still not fixed.
The passenger seat makes a creaking sound.
The steering wheel air bag cover has warped and its on its second one
now and that is beginning to warp again!. Cold mornings the car
splutters and almost stalls tried to get it fixed a few times again
not fixed. The hand brake bearly works but at least the car is an auto
so I can put it into park but still no excuse for a crappy handbrake.

I guess I got conned into the 5-10 warranty job.

Of all those faults the engine tuning problem and poor H/brake action are
the worst,..as far as the AB cover, does the car sit with the sun beating in
on that cover?

Dealers are a mixed bag,..trouble is Mitsy HQ maybe somewhat distracted
these days to listen...can you take the car to another Mitsy dealer for the
fixes?

I try to keep the car in the shade as much as possible nothing worse
than getting into a car that feels like an oven. I am going to buy one
of them steering wheel covers to reduce the heat off the wheel.

I might have to try a different dealer I got the car in  Dandenong
Mitsubishi & Proton. I use to drive a 91 Mercedes 190E and it was
basically trouble free and I covered up to 200,000 on it. I thought I
needed something newer.

It should not be normal for a new car to have any problems like that.

There won't be too many Mitsubishi dealers who will remain Mitsubishi
dealers if they do fold, and you can bet both your nuts they won't hang
around to do warranty work.

Interesting, the handbrake hasn't changed since 1996 and they work
particularly well....if you read the manual, you'll find instructions
on how to use it

What is with magna owners looks like their heads are so far up their
anus that they are blinded by their own sh.t,

Samual take it to another dealer as a few others pointed out.   Or
better yet get another Mercedes.

Found what Sam?
One dealer who has complaints from 3 customers and one much older
Magna with a squealing handbrake?

Better buy a Commodore....then you can have lots of people with
