  MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I HAVE REACHED OUT TO YOU FOR ASSISTANCE AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY LAST EMAIL DATE OCTOBER 26, 2010. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY ISSUES HAVE STILL NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS TO A HIGHER LEVEL UNTIL ALL OF MY CONCERNS AND ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE ARE FULLY HANDLED. I PURCHASED MY 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND PURCHASED IT AFTER READING SEVERAL EXCELLENT REVIEWS , RESEARCHING THE CAR AND KNOWING IT CAME WITH A WARRANTY FOR 5 YEARS/100,000 MILES. THIS WAS ONE OF THE KEY SELLING POINTS THAT INTRIGUED ME AND I WAS TOLD ANY AND EVERYTHING THAT SHOULD OR WOULD GO WRONG WITH THE CAR WOULD BE COVERED DURING THAT PERIOD, NO QUESTIONS OR HASSLES. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE AND HASSLE AND I VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MITSUBISHI AND FRANKLY I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND OR BUY ANOTHER MITSUBISHI AFTER THE POOR CONTINUED SERVICE I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR EVERY SINGLE MAINTENANCE AND TAKE VERY GOOD CAR OF IT. MY WINDOW SEAL WAS NOT SEALED PROPERLY, DRIVER'S SEAT BEGAN SQUEAKING AND MOVING BACK AND FORTH AND THE COVERS IN THE BACK SEAT AND TRUNK CAME OFF IN JANUARY 2010 AND I BROUGHT MY CAR IN , 1/14/10 AND BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALER'S ATTENTION IN OXNARD. THEY ADVISED THEY FIXED THE ISSUE AND TIGHTENED THE BOLTS UNDER THE SEAT. THE COVERS THEY SNAPPED ON SO HARD THE CAME OFF AND WERE BROKE, THE OTHERS THEY GLUED? THE SEAL ON THE WINDOW CONTINUED TO MAKE NOISE. WEEKS LATER THE SEAT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN: 03/30/10, 04/12/10, 05/12/10, 05/24/10, 09/30/10, 11/4/10 AND 12/2/10 ALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SEAT AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. I HOPE YOU CAN SEE AND UNDERSTAND NOW WHY I'M SO UPSET. I HAVE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WITH EVERY SINGLE ISSUE I BRING UP AT THIS DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH LUPE @ YOUR CORPORATE OFFICE, WHO IS WONDERFUL, BUT SHE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS HER FAULT. ON 1.

  When visiting local dealership for a state inspection it was found the rear subframe of my 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander, 2WD Model XLS has rusted completely through. I an internet search it was found that this was a common occurrence and a highly dangerous issue and it would not pass for a safety inspection. It appears from the number of complaints posted on various message boards it is widely known that this inferior component exists in a number of years for this and other models in the Mitsubishi brand. While its was noted in posting that the Mitsubishi dealership recognized this defect as a recall item, it was not showing up in the NTSB safety recall list for my VIN [XXX] . Please advise as to the investigation into this serious component failure and the recall status via return email.

  MITSUBISHI HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLES FRONT COIL SPRINGS TO 120,000 MILES OR 9 YEARS (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST). MY FRONT COIL SPRINGS WENT BAD AT 120,500 AND MITSUBISHI REFUSES TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIR TO THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS, ACCORDING TO MITSUBISHI HAVE A "POTENTIAL" TO "CORRODE FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO ANTI-FREEZING AGENTS (SUCH AS CALCIUM CHLORIDE) USED IN COLD WEATHER AREAS TO CLEAR ICE AND SNOW FROM ROADWAYS". I DO LIVE IN OHIO AND WE HAVE A LOT OF SNOW HERE, BUT UPON SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS WHO DO NOT LIVE OR TRAVEL TO AREAS WHERE ROADS NEED TO BE SALTED (E.G. TEXAS, FLORIDA) HAVE ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO, IF ALTERNATIVE FRONT COIL SPRINGS DO NOT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CORRODE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, SHOULD MITSUBISHI NOT BE LIABLE FOR PROVIDING CUSTOMERS WITH THESE SATISFACTORY PARTS REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE? IT SEEMS TO BE UNIVERSAL AND IT IS MY BELIEF THAT MITSUBISHI PUT OUT A VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE PART THAT THEY ARE NOW REFUSING TO RECALL. THEIR NEGLIGENCE IN THIS MATTER IS NOT FAIR TO CONSUMERS WHO PAY FOR QUALITY VEHICLES WITH QUALITY PARTS.

• 10/24/2017· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER LS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A COUNTRY ROAD. THE HIGH BEAMS WORKED FINE. I HAD TO LEAVE THEM ON WHEN I WAS CROSSING OTHER CARS, WHICH CAUSED THE OTHER DRIVERS TO FURIOUSLY FLASH THEIR HIGH BEAMS ON AND OFF AT ME. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY! TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALER WHO FIRST CHECKED THE FUSES, THEN TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH NEXT TO THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH DID NOT HELP. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT CHARGE ME FOR THE SWITCH SINCE IT DID NOT DO THE TRICK. ON A THURSDAY MORNING, I WAS ASKED TO LEAVE THE CAR WITH THEM FOR AT LEAST ONE DAY, POSSIBLY TWO SO THAT THEY COULD DO AN "IN-DEPTH" INVESTIGATION AND CHECK IF IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM. I HAD TO RENT A CAR TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION. ON FRIDAY AT 5 PM, I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM AND IT HAD TO DO WITH A "SMART FUSE BOX" OR "ETACS", THAT IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE PART AND THEY DID NOT HAVE IT IN STOCK, SO I WOULD NOT GET MY CAR BACK UNTIL WEDNESDAY OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK! I ASKED HOW MUCH THE REPAIR WOULD COST AND WAS QUOTED $1,300! I SAID GIVE ME THE CAR BACK TONIGHT AND I'LL COME BACK WHEN THE PART COMES IN. WAS TOLD IT WOULD THEN COST EVEN MORE IN LABOR, BECAUSE IT WAS TAKEN APART AND WOULD NEED TO BE PUT BACK TOGETHER, THEN "OPENED UP" AGAIN! SO NOW I AM PAYING FOR THIS EXORBITANT REPAIR PLUS SEVERAL MORE DAYS FOR THE RENTAL. I SEE THAT MODELS 2009 AND UP HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND AM OUTRAGED THAT THESE TECHNICIANS DID NOT FIGURE THIS OUT IMMEDIATELY, SINCE THEY HAVE DEALT WITH THE PROBLEM BEFORE. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL MATTER AS WELL FOR THE 2007 MODELS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 75,000 MILES OR SO ON IT AND I WAS HOPING TO DRIVE IT FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO. I WILL UPLOAD THE BILL WHEN I GET THE CAR BACK TOMORROW.

STILL NO NOTICE FROM MITSUBISHI THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE SINCE MID-AUGUST. CALLED MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER SERVICE SEPT. 30 AND WAS TOLD THAT PARTS ARE STILL NOT WIDELY AVAILABLE. CALLED NEAREST MITSUBISHI DEALER AND SOONEST APPOINTMENT I COULD GET IS OCTOBER 31! AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE BY THEN!! THE LETTER SAYS THAT, "MMNA IS MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO OBTAIN THESE PARTS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, AND WILL CONTACT YOU AGAIN BY MAIL WITH A FOLLOW-UP RECALL NOTICE WHEN REMEDY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE." IT'S ALREADY BEEN MORE THAN A MONTH SINCE WE RECEIVED THE INITIAL NOTICE, HAD OUR CAR INSPECTED BY OUR MECHANIC AND TOLD THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WE HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER MONTH BEFORE THE DEALER WILL EVEN ALLOW US TO BRING THE CAR IN. TODAY (SEPT. 30) THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY'VE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETED 6 OR 7 REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET PARTS. AS A CONSUMER, IT APPEARS THAT MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA ISN'T DOING ENOUGH TO REMEDY THIS RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. WITH A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN LIKE THE POSSIBILITY OF "LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A POTENTIAL COLLISION" THAT COULD RESULT IN NOT ONLY SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH TO THE PASSENGERS IN THE MITSUBISHI, BUT TO OTHER DRIVERS AND/OR PEDESTRIANS, I WOULD THINK THAT MMNA WOULD BE DOING EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO MAKE THESE REPLACEMENTN PARTS AVAILABLE.

  SIDE VIEW MIRRORS I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN, AVERAGE HEIGHT 5'3". I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI MOTORS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS ON MY CAR, TO WHICH THEY RESPONDED 'THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS MEET U.S. SAFETY STANDARDS'. I HAVE BEEN TERRIBLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER'S OVERSIZED SIDE VIEW MIRRORS, BOTH ON THE DRIVER AS WELL AS PASSENGER SIDES. THEY ARE NOT ONLY AWKWARDLY PLACED, HEIGHTWISE, BUT ARE ALSO HINGED IN A WAY THAT CREATES HUGE BLIND SPOTS ON BOTH SIDES. THEY OBSCURE MY VISION, CREATING BLIND SPOTS WHEN CHANGING LANES, WHEN MAKING TURNS, AT PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS. I HAVE TO STOP FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TO CLEAR BOTH SIDES, IN ADDITION, I HAVE TO RAISE MYSELF IN MY SEAT TO CLEAR THE HEIGHT OF THE MIRRORS. I HAVE HAD INNUMERABLE 'NEAR MISSES' BECAUSE THEY BLOCK MY VIEW OF APPROACHING CARS TO MY RIGHT/LEFT. THE REASON I FINALLY AM WRITING TO YOU IS BECAUSE I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN A FEW WEEKS AGO, DUE TO THE MIRROR BLOCKING MY VISION OF THE INDIVIDUAL CROSSING. IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OFF BECAUSE THEY EXTEND SO FAR FROM THE MAINFRAME OF THE CAR, CAUSING ME HUGE REPAIR COSTS. I REQUEST YOU ADVISE ME HOW TO GET MITSUBISHI'S ATTENTION TO REMEDY THIS HUGE PROBLEM, AND HOW I CAN PURSUE THIS MATTER SO THAT THIS DESIGN FLAW IS RECTIFIED. I HAVE CONTACTED CONSUMER REPORTS AND THEY PROVIDED ME NAMES OF SEVERAL AGENCIES THAT I AM CONTACTING AS WELL. *TR
