| 2006 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | 2006 MITSUBISHI RAIDER @ 42,000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH NO SOLUTIONS. FIRST I HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, LIGHTS AND DASH CUTTING OFF, NO SPEEDOMETER, RADIO WOULD CUT OFF. ONCE IT WOULDN'T CRANK, I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY SAID I WAS MISSING A FUSE, APPARENTLY IT FELL OUT WHILE IN ROUTE TO DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE I CHECKED ALL OF THEM BEFORE I CALLED TOW TRUCK, CHECKED WITH TEST LIGHT, ALL WERE WORKING, ALL WERE IN PLACE.......50.00 FOR THE TOW, 40.00+ TO REPLACE A FUSE. CONSTANTLY USES BRAKE FLUID.....TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS LOW ON BRAKE FLUID.....PROBABLY BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING ALL OVER THE DRUM, DEALER DID NOT FIX. HAD SOME KIND OF ECU REPLACED FOR ELECTRONICS, STILL DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM. TRUCKS REAR BRAKES BEGAN TO DRAG AND LOCK UP. CALLED DEALER, THEY SAID MY SERIES OF VIN NUMBERS WASN'T INCLUDED IN THERE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DOING THE SAME AS THE SO CALLED RECALLED VEHICLES. EVENTUALLY I GUESS IT BROKE, BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN DRAGGING THE BRAKES, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A LARGE BRAKE FLUID LEAK ON DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE, AND NOW MY REAR END(HOG HEAD)(GEARCASE) IS LEAKING GEAR OIL. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS TO MITSUBISHI'S MISTAKES UNLESS THEY ARE RESOLVED FROM MY WALLET. I GUESS THEY ARE ONLY LIABLE IF MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.......TOYOTA STOOD UP AND FIXED THEIR PROBLEM.......HOW COME MITSUBISHI CANT? THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED BY DEALERS AND THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT........OR LACK OF SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE HAD VERBAL CONFRONTATIONS WITH ALL SERVICE MANAGERS, EVEN CONTACTED MITSUBISHI MAIN OFFICE, STILL AT NO PREVAIL.......SO I GUESS I WILL DRIVE IT TO THE WHEELS FALL OFF, SHOULDN'T BE MUCH LONGER, REAR END IS LEAKING FAIRLY BAD NOW. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED, EVEN THOUGH THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR MISTAKES..... *TR |
| 2007 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | WHILE DRIVING 2007 MITSUBISHI RAIDER ON JUNE 3RD, 2010 THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING, RESULTING IN NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED ON JUNE 1ST 2010 AND THE BATTERY WAS CHECKED GOOD. WHEN TAKEN TO MITSUBISHI DEALER THEY SAID THE ONLY THING THEY COULD FIND WAS A DEAD BATTERY. $5000 WORTH OF DAMAGE WAS DONE TO VEHICLE AS IT HIT THE CENTER MEDIAN WALL, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT THOUGH. THERE WAS NO WARNING BEFORE HAND THAT ANYTHING WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. WE WERE DRIVING AND THEN THE TRUCK JUST DIED, THE ENGINE QUIT, LIGHTS WENT OUT EVERYTHING WENT BLACK. WE STARTED DRIFTING INTO THE LANE NEXT TO US ALMOST COMING IN CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED HARD TO THE LEFT TO AVOID HITTING OTHER VEHICLES WHEN WE WENT LEFT HARD AND HIT THE MEDIAN. I HAD MY WIFE AND 3 KIDS IN THE CAR AND TO THIS DAY WE WONDER IF THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I DON`T WANT ANOTHER FAMILY TO GO THROUGH WHAT WE WENT THROUGH IN FEAR OF SOMEONE GETTING SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. IF THE MEDIAN WALL WAS NOT THERE AND IT WAS JUST GRASS, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY GOOD CHANCE THAT THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE FLIPPED. AS STATED EARLIER THE BATTERY WAS JUST CHECKED 3 DAYS PRIOR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BAD, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE DIED WHILE DRIVING AS A RESULT OF A DEAD BATTERY. THE RECENT TOYOTA RECALL IS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED. I KNOW THEY ARE DIFFERENT COMPANIES AND MANUFACTURER'S BUT COULD THERE BE A COINCIDENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. IT IS AN EXPERIENCE TO LOSE ALL POWER OF A VEHICLE AND HOPING TO AVOID HURTING ANYONE. THANK-YOU *TR |
