Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I go to pull out it will not accelerate almost coming to a dead stop and it will not change gears it will almost red line.. You have to let off the gas to get it to change gears and while driving on an interstate my car just stopped also when you hit your breaks or hit a bump in the road it pulls to one side. Also when I first purchased my car the ignition was broken on the inside which caused my key to get stuck. And to this day I am still having problems with my car plus the bevels on my dash board was broken”

No change despite several transmission servicing/towing expenses. Per online research, others experiencing same issues. Often resolves temporarily by turning off engine and restarting car. Recalls issued for other Mitsubishi models, but not for this car. Needs to be addressed to prevent injury or loss of life.”
