I was approaching a street intersection, applying normal braking for a routine stop. When I was about 200 feet from the intersection, the engine accelerated for about two seconds and I had to greatly increase brake pressure to slow the car down.

My car was/is slow to engage gears when you depress the throttle. The rpms rise approximately 1000, then settle back down and the gear slowly engages. The clutch is pretty much gone and I have less than 20,000 miles on the vehicle. I do not race, track, or abuse my car. It has been properly maintained according to manufacturer recommendations. The clutch will be completely gone very soon and I will not be able to drive a car that is less than 2 years old! the Mitsubishi dealer told me it was't a warrantable item, as did the warranty hotline, therefore I have to pay for the repair. An estimate from them is approximately $1200.
