NHTSA complaint #10329244, filed 2010-05, 85,000 miles“The car has been accumulating fluid on the floor of the driver's side. Usure of where the problem was, we have been absorbing the water and airing out the car.

Rust is also forming due to the constant humidity levels inside the car. The brake pedal seems to be rusting as well as the driver's side chair floor mount. I cannot see what is happening to the electrical wiring, as it is covered by the panels. …”
NHTSA complaint #10995423, filed 2017-06, 130,000 miles“I have talked to Mitsubishi numerous times since august 2016. They keep passing the buck or case manager is on vacation. I've been using a hose and funnel to fuel my car because the fill tube has rusted out. This and 4 more recalls on this car puts me in a dangerous situation that Mitsubishi is aware of. I am tired of getting the run around.”
NHTSA complaint #10938008, filed 2016-12“No information on recall given to me at all. Found out about the recall because I am having a problem with my parking brakes not holding and was searching for parts on the internet. Car was bought in miami and shipped to vi, but no one at Mitsubishi can tell me if there is a dealer here and what options I have with getting the problem fixed if there is no dealer. I would at least like to know what parts I may need to get it fixed by an independent mechanic”
