What owners wrote
Tl* - sometime in december of 2002 while driving on a low grade hill on a rainy day the 1992 mitsubishi 3000 gt transfer case seized at 40-50 MPH, resulting in all 4-wheels locking up, causing the vehicle to crash into a light pole. After the crash the clutch, hood, radiator, front crash bar, windshield and air bag were replaced. On october of 2006 while driving the vehicle the wheels locked again.
Consumer received recall 02 v 143 001 concerning transfer case oil leakage. While driving 65 MPH vehicle commenced to make loud clanking noises, lost power and leaked oil. Manufacturer was contacted, and they informed the consumer that the vehicle was repaired under this recall through the previous owner, and that nothing else would be done. However, the remedy failed within a year.
