| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Road debris caused a complete failure of my radiator because it is poorly designed with no protection from the front of the vehicle. there is no grill protection in front of the radiator so stones and debris are free to hit the radiator directly and puncture the tubing. this happened to me on 09-22-05. it will cost me $650 for a newly installed radiator from mitsubishi. the problem i am having is the design flaw which leads to safety issues. i am not guaranteed this won't happen again after my new radiator is installed because mitsubishi does not make an accessory to fix the design flaw. this is a safety issue because it will most likely happen on the highway at higher speeds, not city driving. mitsubishi should be made aware of this complaint immediately. *nm |
