Wow! Okay, two questions. Well, maybe three... or more. 1. How long did this adventure trek take you? 2. Seriously? Was it really just an over night trip? 3. How did you plan out your route and where any/all the charging stations would be? 4. What kind of charging stations did you use? Were...

I'm replying to the service technician's email at the moment telling him what I want done on my Meepster. I'm tempted to explain to him that their $250 battery re-calibration service is the same thing that owners can do themselves for free. However, I think I may just wait until I pick up my car...

I think I'm just going to have them replace the wiper blades. If they will sell me just the air filter, I will install it myself. Mitsubishi's parts site doesn't list an air filter for the iMiEV, but for every other vehicle, it lists the current prices at around $24 for the standard filer and...

Has anyone added a second spray nozzle to the passenger wiper arm? I would love to have that. If it's an easy enough mod, I'd do it. Barring that, is there any way to increase the spray pressure or the spray pattern of the nozzle on the main wiper? My sprayer seems to only spit a little bit of...

Okay, just did a quick Google search on the iMiEV forums and found threads talking about this battery calibration. Sounds like it's just something for the dealership to make money on. Owners can perform this service themselves just by running the car down to two bars and then fully recharging...

Just got the multi-inspection report back from the service department. They performed the two outstanding recalls, which were the undercarriage bolt/rust issue and the brake vacuum pump (reflash EV-ECU only). The report states that there has been a warranty extension added to the main battery...

I know, right?! It's so d@mn annoying. As in Mort from Madagascar annoying (parents should catch that reference)! Guess I was just being optimistic that after a few years of the iMiEV being on the market (and a prolonged absence from the boards on my part) that SOMEBODY would have figured out...

Hi, Joe! Yeah, I'm still around. My OCD tends to wander from one subject to another over time. I may be obsessed with one subject/hobby for a few months until some other subject/hobby catches my attention. Then all other hobbies get left in the dust until my OCD comes back full circle! The...

Hey, all. Been awhile since I've been in the forums here. Figured I'd check in and get caught up on all things iMiEV. I dropped my Meepster off at the dealership after-hours last night for service today. I took it in to have a couple recalls performed. Not exactly sure which recalls they are as...

Congrats, David, on your iMiEV purchase! And a hardy "Welcome!" to a fellow Chicagoland iMiEV owner! Are you in Chicago proper, or the suburbs? I'm out in Elgin. During the entire time I've owned my "Meepster" (will be 2 years exactly on July 11), I have only seen as many other iMiEVs on the...

Sad to see you bowing out, siai47. Just wanted to say thank you again for your help with getting replacement parts for my Meepster. Who knows how long it would have taken to get her back if not for you!

Just a quick update to announce that The Meepster is back!!!! Picked her up last Thursday after work. The shop did an excellent job restoring her. You can't even tell anything happened to her at all. Thanks again to siai47 for the help with the parts. My whole family is thrilled to be back...

With an over-abundance of thanks and gratitude to siai47, replacement parts are en route to my repair shop. They should arrive sometime tomorrow. The shop says that once the parts arrive, based on the estimated labor hours, it will take about 19 days to finish the repairs and get my Meepster...

Does anyone know siai47 personally and would be willing/able to contact him directly for me? Just ask him to check his myimiev.com PMs. Thanks.

I think they do, Art. But I'm not sure that they are required to produce all those spare parts all at once. As long as they can produce them when they are needed, maybe that's all they're legally required to do. Who knows.

I'm hoping Siai47 gets in touch with me soon. He may be the saving grace that gets me back on the road sooner than later. I hope it works out.

siai47, please check your PM. My auto body repair shop wants to get in touch with you. Thanks, Robb

I apologize for the delay in posting any updates. This past week has been a little frustrating on many fronts, not just with the car. So, here's what's going on: We originally filed the claim on my vehicle through the other driver's insurance (All State) since it was totally her fault. The...

Okay, so just for shiggles, I decided to look up the 2014 i-MiEV just in case my Meepster is totaled. I wanted to see my options for getting a new i-MiEV. Let me get this straight... there are basically NO options available in the 2014 model?!?!?! I can't get the navigation system or the...
