but that wouldnt stop you from buying the switch and putting it in your own. and mitsubishi wasnt removing your service apointments or cancling your subscriptions when you complained.... or modified your car... and i will bet you could order the parts missing direct from mitz as well as having them install them or...gasp a third party garage.
