I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE CAR STARTED ACTING STRANGE. IT WOULD ONLY SWITCH TO SELECT GEARS. I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO A MITSUBISHI SERVICE WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. THEN THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $12000 TO REPAIR. THEY ALSO SAID THE CAR NEEDS A NEW AWD DIFFERENTIAL PUMP BUT THAT WOULD BE FREE. UPON MY RESEARCH AND WHAT ONE OF THE TECHS TOLD ME AWD PUMP CAN SCREW UP THE TRANSMISSION. HOW CAN THEY NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIR FOR TRANSMISSION IF A FAULTY PART CAUSED IT.
