“I had issues with my driver side seat for years and currently still an issue. I never realized this was a recall issue. I had a number of issue/problems with my vehicle and always took my car to the mitsubitshi dealer and they too never mentioned any recall regarding driver side seat. The driver's seat is not properly secure the seat and could increase the risk of driver injury in an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10722190, filed 2015-05“Srs light stayed on continuously while car was in motion. The dealer replaced the seat backs, since they claimed that the side air bags were the problem. The light has not come on since the repair. Also, the steering wheel air bag cover did not properly fit. This unit was also replaced. This repair also appears to be acceptable. As for the windshield, it is leaking water into the interior. The dealer already made two attempts to fix this problem. The first attempt included resealing the windshield, and the second attempt was an adjustment to the moonroof. …”
