Example complaints

“The airconditioner compressor blew a pressure valve because one of the valves stuck. This car is a 2001 mistubishi Mirage is only 4 years old with 67,000 miles on it, and the air conditioning is only used for half the year as I live in the midwest. I have been told that it will cost between $1,200 and $1,600 dollars, which is about half of the trade-in value. I called Mitsubishi and they told me there is nothing they can do about it because it is out of warranty. I have a feeling I am not the only customer who has had this problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10116787, filed 2005-04, 67,000 miles

“Upon initial purchase of the vehicle it was noted that extended use of the cd player caused the player to overheat and shut down. The original player was replaced by the dealership and the replacement has an identical problem. The instrument cluster of the vehicle began to malfunction. The cluster would work on start-up and continue working until either the car warmed up or the car was shut down to refuel. The instrument cluster stopped working and no remedy has been sought yet.”
