Example complaints

Fuel system: “I really don't understand how used car dealership home town auto can sell you a car they know have an open recall on a vehicle but fail to let the american consumer know at the time of purchase in 2020,then call you a couple of days later saying they need you to come and sign a paper saying as far as they know there's no open recall on the vehicle. I asked why? Is there a recall on my car? I was told no. The only way I found out there is a recall on my car since 2009 was from my insurance provider. So I called the car dealership and asked how can you sell me a car that has a open recall 2009. …”

Air bags: “Srs warning light is on and Mitsubishi told me they can't repair this since they stopped making the part affected. It needs a new sensor which controls the air bags and seat belt assembly. I was told if in an accident the air bags may not deploy or even accidentally deploy in a no accident scenario. The car is only eight years old and they stopped making the part? This definitely compromises safety!”

Other or unknown: “When brakes are applied, moisture appears on all four calipers. Rust on all calipers. Residue on master cylinder as well. Refilled brake fluid under hood twice. Strong burning brake fluid smell when driving. New vehicle with 4k miles. Car towed to nearest dealer, eugene or Mitsubishi. Service dept looked at brakes and ran tests. Service manager, says they don't know where moisture is coming from and can't find source of leak. …”

Seat belts: “Took my car into the dealership and was told they cannot fix my problem due to the fact Mitsubishi stopped manufacturing the part needed. The car is only eight years old! Yes they discontinued this model but the parts? This is ridiculous, my air bag sensor is disabled and turned off which is a safety issue! I cannot fix it and I wonder if I can even sell it due to the fact it has no working air bags. How can they get away with this? I thought the NHTSA was a place where consumers of cars sold in this country could go to help remedy these kind of problems.”
