Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When the vehicle was purchased the rattling noted in the air conditioning was noted. the aluminum bracket holding the compressor was replaced with a cast iron bracket. we have noticed that the vehicle does not cool down while operating the air conditioning now. i have taken it to a dealerships service department on several occassions to be told it is cooling. it is almost as though the vents do not open to allow the cooled air to flow in. i have also contacted mitsubishi's diamond care service number to be told there is nothing they can do to help. this is a long standing problem. i have had someone check the system outside of a mitsubishi dealership who agrees there is definitely a problem.*ak
