“We received a recall notice for our 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer. We no longer have the original warranty that came with this car at the time of purchase. I have talked to Mitsubishi recall center about this very dangerous airbag that has already killed 23 people: unfortunately, there is not a dealership where I live, so according to the Mitsubishi case worker one of us would have to drive to the dealership in orland ca: which is approximately 5 hours away/ this car has 130,000 miles on it and can hear a tapping noise when first starting. …”
