Unhappy question for ALL USA evo owners.

hello guys and girls. My wife has an 05 evo and she loves it. Unfortunately, mitsubishi is shit at honoring their warranty. I have had NOTHING but challenges with them regarding warranty work( they did replace the battery when it went out less than a year later). This is my question. I really,REALLY want to know ALL AND ANY issues any of my fellow evo owners have had with their evo's. Our car is COMPLETELY stock. Only thing we have done is get slightly bigger tires, which a misubishi parts worker said was no big deal and would not be an issue. Our car has always made kind of a clanking noise when the clutch pedal is not engaged since we bought it brand new with 10 miles on it. I was told that was normal being it was a performance car. When the pedal is pushed in, it goes away. It is not very noticeable but I notice anything on a car. The tires wore out at about 14k miles. When i called and told them that i was having negative camber issues, this is what the parts worker said to me; when ypou lower a car, it is going to increase camber and wear faster-car is not lowered.2 well, when you change the rims and go bigger, the geometry is altered and will increase negative camber-at that point the car was as is from the dealer.3 well, it is a high performance car and i should expect it. we had our 12k adjustment and was told that EVERYTHING looked fine and their were NO issues. at 14k the tires were bald on the inside, 3 of them only. I was told that it does not take much to knock the specs out of allignment. I said by that theory, the tires should be down to the wire in about 4k miles more. The guy tells me tha it is possible that it could get knocked BACK into specs and could go a few more thousand miles. WOW, what BS. now the car is starting to grind slightly when shifting into 5th gear. the car has 41k miles and is driven by my wife 90% of the time. the other 10% is me driving and, yes i do like to have a little fun but I DO NOT RACE IT. I just want to know how many other evo owners out there are getting screwed by misubishi. I really think some sort of action could be taken against mitsubishi if they really are screwing over their customers. I just have heard quite a few stories here in the phoenix area that are really making me question mitsubishi's 10 year/100k warranty. PLEASE, any issues you have had i would like to know. If you live in phoenix area, I REALLY want to know since we probably go to the same dealers. Thank you everybody very much for taking the time to read this and responding..Sincerely,
Jesse S
