| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Abnormal smell coming from vents, made me, and my two sons feel nauseous, created a headache for me. i had to open windows in order to drive car due to fumes. brought car to dealer, and heater core was identified as problem and needed to be replaced. dealer said this is a very common problem with this year and model. i asked if there was a manufacturer recall and he said no, they only had to do a recall if it was a safety problem. this cost $802.37 to repair. this is most definitely a safety issue. not only health, but can cause an accident due to fogging of windows, etc. i am sure mitsubishi knows of this problem. seems as though a class action suit should be filed against them for this issue. my car only has 47k miles, i purchased new and it has had all regular maintenance required. this is obviously a manufacturers defect. i will never purchase another mitsubishi, just because they do not take responsibility. *nm |
