Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When the vehicle was purchased the rattling noted in the air conditioning was noted. The aluminum bracket holding the compressor was replaced with a cast iron bracket. We have noticed that the vehicle does not cool down while operating the air conditioning now. I have taken it to a dealerships service department on several occassions to be told it is cooling. It is almost as though the vents do not open to allow the cooled air to flow in. I have also contacted Mitsubishi's diamond care service number to be told there is nothing they can do to help. This is a long standing problem. …”
