Complaint Description: mitsubishi replaced the head gasket at 38,000 miles due to it leaking oil. owner reported it leaking oil 2000 miles later. mitsubishi denied there was a leak. i just had to replace my head gasket at 58008 miles due to it leaking oil. there is something terribly wrong with an engine that goes through 2 head gaskets at such a low mileage. i have contacted mitsubishi and am in the process of trying to settle this matter through the dealer. this is a problem that truly needs a solution.*ak .
