Recall faulty ECU's for years 91-95 3000GT and Stealth | Thread profile

Gee I guess yer right. Recalls shouldn't exist at all in any product because why.... well eventually at some point in the life of that product 1 or more parts are going to go bad safety or no safety.... so yer right.... Recalls shouldn't exist period. We should start to push this in congress so the million dollar corporations that sit on their piles of cash can continue to get away with bullshit. I guess we've solved everything...

i had a stealth that had the ecu rebuilt in 99 iirc.

My personal opinion is that this isn't as much of a safety issue as it is the sources of ECUs drying up. I just sold a freshly rebuilt 1G ECU and after I did someone else wanted to buy it from me. I didn't even have it advertised - some people just knew I had some spare ECUs. If these were...

not trying to rain on your parade, but I don't see how this is even remotely a safety issue.

The only thing I could see you winning a recall fight on is the fact that they are known to leak over time with heat and that they're not a recommended service item anywhere in the book. At least all your other items such as brakes, clutch, master and slave cylinders, water pump, oil pump, timing belt, tensioners, etc are all covered somewhere in the book as an "inspect and replace as necessary". The ECU isn't and is known...

Anyway, sticking to the topic, if you could find out more about the fire damage on those 2 base 3000GTs, what year they were, etc... or any links stating anything about this please include the information here. double post 14 hours apart?!

Ok so you want mitsubishi to recall an ECU because it is an annoyance to track down the problem with the car. The 12 year old ( at newest based on what you want recalled ) car is giving you a headache because it is not working 100% like day one If you cant deal with repairs and headaches maybe you should sell your car and get a civic Your arguement that the car can start to sputter in traffic and become a hazard, guess what if your...

I'd even be willing to bet someone at Mitsu R&D brought this to the mgmt's attention and nothing was done about it before the cars were produced because "at the moment" it would've meant lower profits. You are...

For that matter the humidity is 90% or more all the time and around this time of the year you will see high 90's low 100's with that humidity.
