| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Complaint received via e-mail."the convertible top literally leaks so bad that the whole interior is moldy. there is a "lake" in the trunk under the spare tire. on more than one occasion, the top will become unlocked and fly up. the support bars are bent and the straps are just hanging. the top does go up and down, but very slowly and not straight. i have to adjust the top as it is going up and down. mitsubishi has looked at the car and said there is absolutely nothing wrong with the convertible top. i feel that this is a serious safety defect and i am beginning to feel very unsafe in my car. the top has gotten so unstable that i can't go over 60 mph. or i can hear the locks loosening up and wind starts to come in to the car near the locks. i hope you can help me in my battle to drive a safe car. i also hurt my shoulder when i caught the top when it flew up the first time. i have all the doctor records and physical therapy records." *nm |
