| 1996 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH IN A "MISTY" LIGHT RAIN VEHICLE HIT AN EMBANKMENT HEAD-ON WHICH CAUSED VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER THREE TIMES. CONSUMER RECEIVED NO INJURIES, BUT WAS EXAMINED FOR TRAUMA. BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING THIS INCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS AVAILABLE FOR EXAMINATION, AND HAS NOT BEEN EXAMINED BY ANYONE. *AK *JB |
| 2003 | TIRES | I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW, AND WHAT A MISTAKE IT WAS. I HAVE BEGUN THE PROCESS OF DECLARING THE LEMON LAW. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS 8 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS. THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE BOOT SPLIT AND LEAKED GREASE. THE FOG LIGHTS FILL WITH MOISTURE AND CONDENSATION DUE TOO INADEQUATE VENTING. THE WINDOWS DON'T SEAL TOO THE BODY ON THE CONVERTIBLE CAUSING WATER LEAKS, AND THE SEALS LOCATED ON THE QUARTER GLASS RUB THE DOOR WINDOW WHICH ALLOWS THE RUBBER TO WEAR PREMATURELY AND CREATE ADDITIONAL LEAKS. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE REAR QUARTER GLASS REPLACED 5 TIMES IN 4,000 MILES. THE CAR VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE BAD. I HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT TWO REPLACED BECAUSE THE TREAD WAS SEPERATING INTERNALLY ON THE TIRES. MITSUBISHI NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THE CARS ON THE ROAD WITH DEFECTS. PLEASE HELP DT |
