Gen4 Dash Rattle - Statement from Mitsu SA

[KurtG]

Good afternoon everyone, quick update:

I have been keeping a record of dash fixes, specifically the brackets, since we started.
To date we have installed at least 76 sets of brackets. I have even sent the bracket drawing to a guy in Adelaide, South Australia, and he is going to attempt to install them himself.
The last installation I did was a 2016 model, and what was very strange, was how many of those little white clips were missing from the radio facia.

If anyone else wants it done, it is R800 per installation, it takes about 90min and the price includes the cable ties and any other rattle fixes that we know about. I normally do it from home but am willing to travel if it is close (i.e. northern Joburg). We have received some very positive reviews from a few of the guys, which is encouraging, as we get reminded that it actually works. The intention is not to waste anybody's time and money, it is good to know that Pajero owners feel proud to own their choice of 4x4 once again after experiencing the "shake" on corrugated roads.
Contact myself (Gauteng), JohnG (Bloem) or IanH (Cape Town) if you want it done.
Have a lekker weekend

Has anyone read the latest DrIve Out? They tested a range of vehicles in Kgalagadi and two of the three reviewers said the Pajero was the most disappointing because of the dash movement. I'm planning on letting Mitsubishi SA know on Monday......

Yes I have read it and i am right with you on this one Kurthttp://www.pajeroclub.co.za/forum/posting.php? ... =26&t=4306#

[KurtG]

I have emailed David at customer care at Mitsubishi SA - I will let you know what his response is, if any.

The fact that this issue is mentioned worldwide yet Mitsu states its within spec leads me to believe the local guys will just use the same answer.The fact that mitsu could have solved this design issue very easily in the factory yet dont bother makes one wonder.maybe if we start some sort of petition worldwide and send it to them they might take note but its a bit late now as the vehicle is pretty much end of its life
