Engine transfer case is leaking approximately enough amount to empty the engine in 3 weeks. There was a recall that was never done by previous owners. Requesting a claim for a recall that was closed in 2002. I discovered the recall and the failed parts after i purchased it from a private sell 04/21/11. Failed transfer case still exists on this vehicle. My safety concerns due to a failed transfer case are as follows: hot running engine, poor performance, difficult shifting, faulty sensors, poor mileage, environmental safety, etc.

In the nearly year i've owned my car i've had four problems with my tranny.at the time i purchased the vehicle, i could not afford the $3000+ the dealership was asking for an extended warranty and no other extended warranty company that i've contacted offers extended warranties on twin turbo cars.so all of this, roughly $8000 in the past year, has come from my pocket, which i'm still paying.in the original transmission with the car, the seals were leaking roughly 2 months after i bought the car.i bought replacement seals and fixed this, only to have my tranny lock up the wheels on me while doing roughly 75 mph on the 241 toll road.it is only due to low traffic at that time that no one got hurt.i then replaced the transmission.and after about 6 months, my wheels locked up again, and on the 241 late at night.i have yet to figure out how i didn't get injured, and now, the latest problem is that this transmission is leaking as well!for originally being a $45000 sports car, which i purchased used at $20000, these are problems that certainly aren't expected or make the car worth owning.
Soon after buying vehicle transmission went out. Consumerhad it replaced. But,problem has returned. Please provide further information.
Purchased a used 1994 3000gt mit. Two years later the auto. Transmission "blew out".had to pay $2,000.00 for repairs in addition to storage charges.took a month to scrape up the money to pay.had to double up on bills in order to get car fixed.read last week mit. Motors in japan knew about defective parts installed in their vehicles for over 2 decades.traded this lemon in sept. 2000 liccardi ford, inc.estimated exact date of transmission failure and current mileage. As well as date of purchase.good riddance!!deserve reimbursement!updated 03/09/06.
I was asked to fill out form by 3si.org b/c of failures and leakage of the transmission.
There should be a recall for these poorly made transmissions and synchros.
Under normal driving conditions, vehicle lost all power and engine raced wildly when accelerator was pressed. This condition continued until vehicle slowed to around 20 mph when power was regained until speed reached 40 mph when failure occurred again. Traffic was backed up behind me with angry motorists passing in dangerous areas because of my limited speed. Fault was traced to the end clutch assembly inside the transmission that prevented transmission from shifting into 4th gear. I don't have the old parts.
Transmission has developed "numerous leaks" according to dealer. Indicated my only option is replacement for roughly $5500.
My tranmisson is leaking and grinding. Since mits. Don't make any part for the tranmssion, i was asked to buy a brand new tranmisson. Also my transfer case is making this strange noise and people told me their transfer case locked up on them while the car was driving.
I am not the 1st owner of this car but previous owner experienced same problem.awd transfer case lock-up at highway speeds. Loud rattling noise, extreme difficulty shifting, fluid leaked out.this problem is very common in all 3000gt and stealth cars equipped with awd powertrain. Additionl cases of this problem can be found simply by searching around car owner communities such as www.3si.org . Mitsubishi dealer won't repair my transfer case and only solution is to buy a new one. Total cost would be over $5000 assuming no other damage to drivetrain was experienced, which is very likely.
Clutch assemblyhad loose bolts. This caused vehicle to jump out of 5th gear. Thiscould haveresulted ina crash.also would not go into reverse gear.please provide further information and vin#.

Mitsubishi 3000gt, seat belts do not function properly. If i was to get into an accident, i would almost surely be severely injured. Mitsubishi refuses to fix!!!
Seat belt in my 1994 mitsubishi 3000gt do not function.i had them checked out and the mechanic said that it was notoriously common on these to have bad non-operational seat belts.if it is notoriously common why has mitsubishi not taken care of the problem?i am just concerned that the belts i am getting installed will do the same thing, they are of the same manufacturer, so says the dealership.right now my belts are only used for show until the new belts come in.law says you need to wear a seatbelt, but mine will not do its job if i do get in a wreck.

1994 mistubishi 3000gt vr-4seat belts retract very slowly, sometimes have to assist the retraction.this affects both front seat belt all the time and the rear belts occasionally.this could lead to leaving enough slack in the belt that if an accident were to occur, it would not serve its purpose as a safety restraint.any forward movement makes the slack worse, forcing me to assist in retracting the belt while driving, obviously a bit dangerous to be playing with the upper piller behind me at speed.

Abs light came on intermittently, especially while driving through mushy snow during winter times. This happened over the past few years, in as early as one year after new ownership. In the past, the light went away after restarting the vehicle or after a few days. However, this time, few days after driving over a few inches of flood water, the abs light has came on and stayed on for more than a month now. Dealer estimated replacement cost is about $3641.32. Question: has there been a technical service bulletin issued by the manufacturer regarding the abs issues? should the manufacturer be responsible for the replacement, consider the vehicle has only 38,000 miles and is under 5 years old? thanks.
