2003 Mitsubishi Outlander Engine cooling Problems

“I was stuck in traffic for 45 minutes and my vehicle (2003 Mitsubishi Outlander) overheated. As a result of this I blew the seal in the radiator. I was never notified that there was a recall on the cooling fans but the dealership had my address and did not notify me. When I contacted the dealership, they stated that the notices are mailed from Mitsubishi and not their dealership.”

“I purchased a mitshbishi Outlander in 2003. It recently overheated and I took to my regular auto shop. He changed the radiator because of the heating damage however, when he checked the fan system , he realized that the power motor was burnt out. He looked the vehicle up and notified me that there was a dealer recal l on the 2003-2006, cooling fan system. Because he had already worked on the car, I paid him ~$400 (I can't recall the exact amount at this time). …”

“On 12/21/07 I had my car serviced for the 75,000 mile service at the dealer. Then on 2/14/08 I was driving home from work when all of a sudden my Mitsubishi Outlander starting shaking and the service engine light came on. I immediately telephoned the dealer to see what they recommend I was asked to bring the car first thing in the morning. The very next day I barely made it to dealer which is only 7minutes away from my home (in the same town). As soon as I pulled into the dealership the car turned off. …”

“The radiator blew apart while driving on the hwy causing the engine to quickly overheat. There were no warning lights to indicate there was a problem. Upon inspection by my mechanic it was discovered that the cylinder head also cracked. He was aware of a possible known issue and contacted Mitsubishi who verified a problem with the cooling fan controller. After having the vehicle towed to the Mitsubishi dealership I was told by them that they would only cover the cost of the parts and not the labor. …”

“This is for a Mitsubishi Outlander 2003. There was a lot of water under the seats, don't know how, and the service engine light is on due to bad oxygen sensor and there might be corrosion in the electrical system, this can cause a fire, rear stop light stop working, the seat belt tensioner can go bad. Took the car to the dealership, and the manufacturer said that I only have 1 recall when the NHTSA says that there's a recall for this,=NHTSA campaign number 03v194000.”
