TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHT IN THE VEHICLE ARE CRACKED WHICH ALLOWS WATER TO GO INSIDE. DUE TO THIS, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. SHE DID RESEARCH ON THIS DEFECT AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM. SHE ALSO FOUND A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM AND SHE SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURE, THEY STATED IT WAS NOT A RECALL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN. SHE BELIEVES THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THAT THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 68,000.

SEAT BELTS
THE CENTER SEAT BELT IS VERY UNSAFE. ONCE THE LATCH IS RELEASE, IT GOES BACK TO THE TOP CORNER, BUT IT HIT MY SON IN THE EYE AND FOREHEAD. ONCE YOU REMOVE THE SEAT BELT( CENTER PASSENGER), THE BELT ROLLS UP VERY QUICKLY(UPPER BACK CORNER), SO THE PASSENGER ON THE THIRD ROW HAS TO BE CAREFUL.
