Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle was showing no signs initially then as I entered the hwy, the engine light, battery and all lights came on. Then it started banging loudly and pulled over to exit but then the car started to slow down and died on the shoulder of the hwy. I barely made it off and it rested on the exit ramp. I was fearful and shocked as I have had no problems previous to this issue. Car was towed to our mechanic, he turned the work down because it was internal to the engine. Then it was confirmed by frank leta Mitsubishi that it was catastrophic engine failure. …”
