| 2000 | STRUCTURE:BODY:TRUNK LID | SINCE PURCHASE, TRUNK LID WILL CLOSE FORCEFULLY AND WITHOUT NOTICE ON A PERSONS HEAD, NECK OR BACK AS THEY ARE RETRIEVING ITEMS FROM THE TRUNK IF THERE IS ANY WIND. THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES WHEN YOU START THE CAR.*AK *JB |
| 2004 | STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR | IN OCT. 2006 I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN BECAUSE THE RIGHT FRONT AND REAR DOORS WERE STICKING AND NOT OPENING AT TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DOOR PANELS. IN JULY 2008 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH RIGHT FRONT AND REAR DOORS. THEY REPLACED THE CLIPS THAT HOLD THE DOOR PANEL TO THE FRAME, SIGHTING POOR DESIGN OF THE DOOR PANELS. CURRENTLY (JAN. 2010) I AM AGAIN HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE RIGHT FRONT AND REAR DOORS AGAIN AND NOW THE DRIVER'S FRONT DOOR. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER DOORS. MITSUBISHI DOES NOT FEEL THIS A CONCERN TO THEM SINCE MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, CURRENTLY THREE OF MY FOUR DOORS GET STUCK AND WILL NOT OPEN AT TIMES, WHAT IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AND NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR? PLEASE HELP ME BRING ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *CW |
