Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / March 2006Mitsubishi Australia deserves bankruptcy
I earlier posted an incident that happened between myself and the Mildura Mitsubishi dealer. Briefly: 1. They attempted to sell me a battery that I didn't need 2. They electronically disabled my car until I bought the new battery 3. They charge me $99 for pumping fuel, in addition to the cost of the fuel 4. They disabled my radio and several other things. The business trades under Mitsubishi's logo on its letterhead and its shopfront. I enforced my rights through calling their bluff and invoking legal machinations. So don't worry, I'm not out of pocket. However, I sent a letter to Mitsubishi to see what they would do. I received a polite letter in which Mitsubishi disavows any responsibility for what one of its dealers/servicers does. Now, I'm not out of pocket as a result of all this, but it needs to be said here: Mitsubishi doesn't give a sh.t about the quality of its service. If you explicitly endorse an agent, then the actions of that agent are binding on you. I don't regret buying a Mitsubishi, but as a Mitsubishi owner, I say this: They reap what they sow. They deserve everything they get. When Mitsubishi goes broke, I'll have a clear conscience about it. f.ck 'em. > I earlier posted an incident that happened between myself and the > Mildura Mitsubishi dealer.

What the possibility of ever buying another one of their products, if it were me it would be nil.

COMPLAINTS of dealers, regardless of branding is commonplace, at the moment at "Not Good Enough", a consumer site under 'Gripe HQ', similar stories abound, one of the current complaints relate to a Holden dealer. Hear this stuff often. RC, I wish you well having it sorted.  SignatureMot Adv-NSW > How did they disable your radio? When I refused to pay for the new battery, they removed it and put the old one in. They said at the time that this would result in the radio being disabled. (It's an anti-theft mechanism). They could have coded it themselves but as soon as they figured out I wasn't going to give them any cash they acted like they were trying to 'punish' me for ripping them off. I figured out how to re-enable it though, since I was able to get the appropriate code from Mitsubishi. I'm registered as the legitimate owner. > > I earlier posted an incident that happened between myself and the > > Mildura Mitsubishi dealer.

This is the main point [and applies to ALL brands that are franchises] The manufacturer/importer will only assist in warranty and nothing more, any service/spares or other dealer performed games they DONT want to know about, they wash there hands of it and refer you back to the dealer Thats why these guys get the chance to apply $1000's post done-deal-sale time with all that paint/interior/rust protection rubbish...paging MingMole The motto of the story is NEVER go back to dealer unless its a warranty, as long as you get your car serviced using O/E parts they cannot bitch or void your warranty > Now, I'm not out of pocket as a result of all this, but it needs to be > said here: Yeap, another lesson [expensive no doubt] on lifes bumpy road > Mitsubishi doesn't give a sh.t about the quality of its service.

No. I threatened legal action and they gave it back to me unaltered. The car worked with the old battery, and continues to do so. >> Richard Cavell Wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > No. I threatened legal action and they gave it back to me unaltered. > The car worked with the old battery, and continues to do so. No wonder they screwed you around. You sound like an arrogant prick. Richard Cavell Wrote: > > Richard Cavell Wrote: > >> This time it looked like a faulty battery so it was replaced? [quoted text clipped - 52 lines] > No. I threatened legal action and they gave it back to me unaltered. > The car worked with the old battery, and continues to do so. OK, so your car shows up with a fuel guage sticking on empty and you put it in to have it fixed but didn't have the money to pay for it? They have seen sticking fuel guages before and it's a sign of a faulty battery so they replace it? Did you expect that when you take a car in to have it fixed, that they wouldn't fix it without asking your permission? Maybe you should have asked and paid for the time to give you a quote...could you have paid for that? Why did you feel that a sticking fuel guage was an urgent problem and required a fix while you were travelling...why didn't you get it fixed before starting out? Hmmm, so you put a car in for work and didn't have the funds to pay for it, then told them to undo the work they'd done....you're kidding...build me a house, sorry, I can't pay for it...if you pull it down then I'll owe you nothing....something wrong here? Oh, and they then said pay, we'll keep your car till you do....funny that!! Why did the fuel require pumping? Seems that an extra charge for filling your tank is a little odd....was not you original complaint about a sticking petrol guage? Was there not a charge for investigating that problem and all that is involved in that? Now the "disabled" radio....was it disabled after the battery was replaced originally? Did you have the code? You lied to us about disabling "several other things"!? No endorsement of the work, just permission to use a logo .... it's advertising. Now the wierd thing...if the car was working OK before the work, why did you put it in for the repair? But hang on, you said it had a problem that it now doesn't have...guess they fixed it ..... you owe em money! You threatened legal action? Ha ha ha....they couldn't be bothered with a pissant like you and just walked away. Seen it done, Done it!

Good I love seeing dealerships shrivle up when you mention legal action. :-) SignatureRegards Dan |
