| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Safety - transmission: at 9,500 miles my car started lurching when stepping on the gas from a stop. it supposedly was repaired but has continued to be problem and each time i bring it in for service the dealer can not recreate the problem. since i had not heard that this has been on going problem with this model, i thought it must be something that i had done. upon reviewing the information of nhsta, i realize that the dealers and mitsubishi are deliberately hiding this problem. safety - fuel tank: my fuel tank began leaking at 59,560 miles and when the dealer removed it had 3 stress wholes. the tank had to be sent out for welding. of course, i had to pay for the repair even though i spoke directly to the mitsubishi complaint department. since it was not a recall item, mitsubishi or the dealer will not pay for the repair. the dangerous fuel leak is another ongoing hidden problem. alternator pulley: has been making noise from the beginning and i have complained each service. now, i discover through nhtsa that alternator pulley is a known design flaw. mitsubishi and their dealers must be held accountable.*ak |
