When slowing down and then accelerating at about 35mph, the transmission downshifts hard, jerking the car forward hard and causing one of the rear cv joints to pop. The dealer said there wasn't enough occurrences of it happening to warrant any inspection or repair. They called in a Mitsubishi rep and he claimed to never feel or hear the problem even though the service tech did.
