Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I've had problems with the car from day one. it has always used oil, having to add more oil all the time even though i due an oil change on regular basis. this has caused me to run low on oil, and the oil does not come on until as the mechanics say "its bone dry". the air condition belt squeaked from day one, then just quit working. the water pump has now went out twice!!! the first time the thermostat also was not working, which caused me to have a major mechanical bill...no warning while out of state!!! the windshield has always fogged up no matter what you do to eliminate it, which has caused me near collisions numerous times. the windows soon became off track for no apparent reason and now leak water. ball joints have been replaced. this car basically was a lemon. i purchased this car brand new, my first new car and my last from mitsubishi.
