On 12/21/07 I had my car serviced for the 75,000 mile service at the dealer. Then on 2/14/08 I was driving home from work when all of a sudden my Mitsubishi Outlander starting shaking and the service engine light came on. I immediately telephoned the dealer to see what they recommend I was asked to bring the car first thing in the morning. The very next day I barely made it to dealer which is only 7minutes away from my home (in the same town). As soon as I pulled into the dealership the car turned off. I was told that the heating coil burned out which caused my spark plugs to burn out and the car to misfire. I am being told that I may need to replace the engine if any of the pistons were damaged if not then I only have to replace the parts which were damaged. What I don't understand is how can this happen to a vehicle which has had every recommended service performed to it on or before the recommended mileage?!

The consumer made a left turn and the engine had run away. The vehicle was taken to four dealerships and was told they are unable to duplicate. The wipers did not clear the windows or operate on high speed, the keyless remote system did not operate with the key in the ignition, there was a burning smell coming from the engine, and the fuel cap did not lock. Recall#03V0S8000-the PCM was reprogrammed. Mr scc
