Three seperate incidents of my transmission failing. . . . . . . Sand and other debris is getting pushed up into the hydrolics and breaking seals, tearing up transmission, as I understood. . . . . . Mitsubishi waranteed the first two cases, but not the third. . . . . . . Please investigate this, for I was fooled into buying an "off-road" vehichle but instead recieved a lemon.
