| 2003 | STEERING | ON SEPT 3 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2003 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER WHEN IT VEERED TO THE RIGHT SO SHARPLY THAT IT ALMOST PULLED THE STEERING WHEEL FROM HER GRASP. THE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE OCCURRENCE,WE DECIDED WE WOULD GET IT CHECKED OUT NEXT WEEK. BEFORE WE COULD GET THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT,DUE TO HURRICANE KATRINA,ON SEPT.9 MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER WAS JUST LEAVING SCHOOL, HAD ONLY GONE A FEW HUNDRED YARDS WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT,CAUSING HER TO GO OFF THE ROAD AND FLIP THE CAR. A WITNESS SAID SHE SAW SOMETHING FLY OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR JUST BEFORE THE CRASH. WITH THE CAR UPSIDE DOWN WE ALL SAW THE CV JOINT BROKEN. I LOOKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DOWN FROM THE ACCIDENT SITE AND FOUND A PART THAT MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH,I AM CHECKING THIS OUT,BUT HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE AN INVESTIGATION IS DONE CONCERNING THIS SERIOUS FLAW IN CONSTRUCTION. |
| 2009 | SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:CHECK VALVE | WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON A 2009 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. IT WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER OF 2009. THE RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT BY MAIL MARCH 17, 2010. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AT EDISON MOTORS, BRAD BENSON DEALER IN MONMOUTH, N.J. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. IT WAS SENT TO ALMATY, KAZAHKSTAN TO MY SON WHO WORKS FOR THE STATE DEPARTMENT AND LIVES THERE WITH HIS WIFE AND TWO VERY YOUNG CHILDREN. THE RECALL WAS TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER VALVE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT HAD BEEN DONE. TO DOUBLE CHECK, I CALLED MITSUBISHI AND THEY SAY IT HAS NOT BEEN DONE. WE HAVE ASKED EDISON TO SEND MY SON THE PARTS, BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS NOT RECOGNIZED OUT OF THE U.S.A., AND HE WILL HAVE IT PLACED INTO THE CAR. IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN CHECK WITH THE VIN#[XXX] TO SEE IF THE WORK HAS BEEN DONE. THE CAR IS UNDER THE NAME OF [XXX]. IF YOU CAN PLEASE PUT OUR MINDS AT EASE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR |
