Mitsubishi Lancer ES 2002, vehicle has been making an annoying squeeking sound coming from the rear ot the car. Three attempts have been made by the dealer to correct problem, to no avail. It seems that every time the vehicle is worked on the sound dissappears for several minutes (30 mns. ) and than it returns. They claim to be stemming from the rear suspension system to poor bushings to lack of lubrication. They claim that alll of the above have been repair or replaced but not successfully.
Having a problem with rear suspension. The entire back end sounds as if the frame is broken. Was assured by mitsu service that it is not a safety issue. I was told it needed bearings and bushings and parts are on back order. This is a 2002 Lancer oz with 30000 miles this should not be happening to a car of this age. I am filing this complaint because I feel if there are two complaints on this site there are most certainly dozens more out there or more to come.
