My mom was car shopping last December and I found out about the iMiev and I liked it and I convinced my mom with it. I looked on craigslist everyday until one day I found a very nice 2012 fully packaged iMiev with only 38k miles on it for $5,500. We go check it out and we liked it and drove it back home.
About a week ago, while attempting to charge it at home using the original EVSE, the car disconnects charging about 30 seconds after plugging it in. We took it to our local Mitsubishi dealership and after 2 weeks of testing they find out the the OBC needs replacement with error code P1AFE. A $5000 replacement, same as what we paid for the car. I tried calling Mitsubishi customer relations to see if they can help with any of the costs as the car has very low miles on it and they refuse to help.
I don't know what to do right now so any advice on this would be appreciated
