Mitsubishi Triton 2010 Problems

There is nothing to suggest there is a problem with the Triton, but it’s worth checking the owner’s manual to familiarize yourself with any recommendations Mitsubishi makes about towing with the Triton. That way you will minimize the risks of having a problem.

Your experience is similar to other owners who have used E10. Even the biofuels people say the engine will lose some smoothness and it will use more fuel, but it really shouldn’t lose power.

While we often get reports of rapid brake wear, but have never had any about the Triton. You’ve obviously seen the pads and say they are not worn or discoloured, so I would be asking the dealer to justify the advice they’ve given you. One possibility is that they are glazed.

Carmakers are locked into what their parent companies are doing, and in this case it means there was a delay in the local roll-out of the upgrade that are launched first in their home countries sometimes weeks, even a month or two, before arriving here. We understand you just missed the introduction of the upgrade to the GPS system by a week or two, but we also understand that Mitsubishi has come to the party and upgraded the system in your car for you.

Cars are equipped with the latest maps available at the time they're built, but that can be months, or more, before they are delivered to the owner. In that time delay the maps can be upgraded, which means they're out-dated before the car is handed over to the owner. That's frustrating, and while the carmakers say there is nothing they can do, perhaps they should think about installing locally the latest maps available during the pre-delivery process. That way they would be up to date when the car is delivered. That, however, doesn't overcome the problem of excessive prices being charged for any subsequent updates. Again, carmakers should look at their pricing and bring them into line with those being charged in the aftermarket. Talk to your dealer again and ask for him to request a free update from Mitsubishi.
