PREVIOUSLY REPORTED SEVERE ROT AND RUST OF CHASSIS/FRAME. THIS 6 YR TRUCK IS ALREADY SHOWING ACCELERATED SIGNS OF SAME RUST ACTIVITY. LARGE BLISTERS 6-8" DIA PUSHING OUT FROM BENEATH PAINT AND UNDERCOATING. SUSPECT THAT THIS TRUCK WILL CONTINUE TO ROT AND BE UNUSABLE IN 3-5 YEARS. *JS
2005 MITSUBISHI FE180 WENT IN SERVICE SEPTEMBER 20, 2006 AND WE ALSO PURCHASED THE EXTENDED POWERTRAIN COVERAGE, PTO300. ON NOVEMBER 30, 2006 THE TRUCK WAS EXPERIENCING A SKIP IN THE MOTOR, ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON AND THE TRUCK HAD LOST POWER. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE PROBLEM WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION AT THE ECM FOR INJECTOR #4. THIS WAS TIGHTENED AND THE TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO US. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED A WEEK LATER, AGAIN IT WAS TIGHTENED AND RETURNED TO US. SOMEWHERE AROUND THE END OF JUNE 2010 THIS TRUCK AGAIN STARTED SKIPPING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT LOST POWER. DEALER CAME TO OUR SHOP TO PUT THE TRUCK ON THE COMPUTER AT A COST OF $95.00. DEALER SAID THAT TWO INJECTORS WERE NOT WORKING, ONE WAS WEAK AND ONE WAS OPERATING IN NORMAL PARAMETERS. AT DEALERS RECOMMENDATION I HAD THEM REPLACE ALL FOUR INJECTORS, AT A COST OF $3269.97. THE FIRST DAY WE DROVE THE TRUCK IT WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER CAME OUT TO THE TRUCK'S LOCATION AND TIGHTENED THE HARNESS/ECU CONNECTION. THIS TIME THE HARNESS AT THE ECU FOR THE INJECTORS WAS BURNT. AFTER CONTACTING THE MITSUBISHI DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE INJECTOR WIRE ARCHED AND AT THIS TIME MITSUBISHI FUSO AGREED TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS AND WE PAID THE LABOR AT A COST OF $625.00. SINCE THEN THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK SKIPPING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND LOSS OF POWER HAS OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES. WE HAVE ISOLATED THE HARNESS CONNECTION AT THE ECU FOR THE INJECTORS HAD LOOSENED. THIS IS CAUSING MAJOR DOWN INJECTORS HAD LOOSENED. IT IS MY OPINION THAT ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS AND EXPENSES COME DOWN TO THE ECU CONNECTION. I PURCHASED INJECTORS THAT I DID NOT NEED. THE ECU SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN JUNE 2010. THE ORIGINAL DIAGNOSIS AND PROBLEM IN NOVEMBER 2006 TURNED OUT WAS STILL THE PROBLEM IN 2010 AND TODAY. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
