I have had this colt for a year , its a 1.3 , 5 doors new model . 8500 km .
The springs/rubber in the back of the driver seat are now soft and I drop on to
the frame on either side , when driving .
The garage say they cannot help as this is how the seat is .They will
not replace the seat or help so far.
Mitsubishi say the garage should look for a solution what
ever that means . I thought I had 3 year guarantee .
I have tried stuffing the seat at sides over the frame
and putting some support at rear of springs ,but still end up feeling
the frames when driving . The seat seems ok when first sitting but during
the ride I tend to put more pressure on the back side , and yes I
can feel the frame sh... it . the springs/rubber are just too soft / thin
either side .
I weigh 94 kg and average height 6 ft . I drive every day to
and from work over small roads , total 22 km per day . And that about it .
The first 8 months I had no problem with seat. I guess springs and rubber
were still in good condition .
Does anybody know how to solve / suggestion for supply of alternative seat
or support / or how to adjust the springs ? These weak looking things
are shaped like a flat topped sinus curve and stetched across 3/4 of the back.
Rubber and air has to do the rest .
You know its not too bad a car ,once you get the front suspension greased,
The engine noise reduced with form material , jam the front storage
draw with foam to stop a rattle , and avoid crunching the reverse gear by
by selecting reverse slower . Technical speaking no problems . The car looks good like new. plenty of space . radio/cd work perfect . Steering and
acceleration in town are good .
Question is , is it me or does anybody else have any problems of this kind
and help with a solution .
Yours frustrated
