Hey there nu2oz. I purchased a nwe mitsubishi challenger in September 2002. Great, capable medium sized 4wd. havn't had any problem with mine, and have made 3 big trips in it off road already. I havn't heard of any problems like this yet, and a few others on here havn't either. Qick question though, did you buy it new or second hand, and if so does it have the leaf springs, or coil springs on the rear. I have heard the leaf sprung older models had a few problems, mine is the coil spung, and have had no such problems. If new or still under warranty, take it back to mitsubishi, maybe you just happened to get the lemon in the batch, and in that case they should replace it or fix it, I know mine has 6 years, 175,000 km warranty. As for challenger clubs, I don't believe there is one, but if you live in Queensland - I'm from brisvagas, then I know a few people who would be interested, as the vehicle itself is very capable in all conditions.

hi murfa
its a coil spring ,i,m off to the dealer on monday hoping its somthing simple,and that the 100,000 k 3 year warranty covers it, i,ve got 600 k and 1 month to play with, not much aye.thanks for your response.
regards nu2oz

I met a bloke a while back with the same problem with a Nissan GQ. His electric windows would also go up and down intermittently. After a lot of searching by a range of experts including Nissan themselves an auto sparky in Alice Springs found a crook fusible link. A loose wire...so simple but often overlooked.

Cheers,

Never a dull moment

I havent had your problem in Mitz , but it often happens on EF falcons , all it is , is a faulty actuator , to find wich one , you have to disconect them 1 by 1 to see which one is causing the problem .Craigs hut 2003

I have a oct 02 xs challenger and haven't had any dramas with it yet andt hat is after some very serious off road games. would be interested to hear what Mr Bitchy's answer to the problem is. Keep us posted.

I've had a rear leaf model for about 2 years & done nearly 100,000kms in it including Gibb River Rd and Steep Point towing a Cavalier camper. The storage in the back was a bit ordinary till I ripped out the rediculous sized trays they provide. It's also a mungrel having to take out the camping gear to wind down the spare tyre. I've had a few problems but really love it & generally it competes pretty well with the "Real 4x4's" (not my words). I had a baffle go in the fuel tank which turned out to be a blessing because I picked up a 115 litre tank for about half the price of a genuine replacement. I also had problems with the central locking but in my case it was the guy who fitted the cruise control. There is a little black box under the dash tucked right in front of the grommet to the engine bay. He shoved a screwdriver through to feed the wiring in and damaged the black box. I also had diff locks fitted to the rear which compensates for the lack of wheel travel. Hope you fix yours and love it too
