2005 Mitsubishi Outlander Suspension Problems

“My front crossmember and control arms were rusted out I pay cash to get it fixed now it's under a recall now my rear cross member in control arms are rusted in Mitsubishi won't fix the car I tried too pay cash and they turn me down the front crossmember was under a recall so the rear crossmember should be under a recall as well the rear is rusty just like how the front was rusty”

“My car is part of a safety recall due to corrosion of the cross members of my vehicle. Prior to the recall my vehicle failed due to the cross members failing. At the time of the failure I was going 65 MPH on the interstate when the frame snapped in 2. There was a lot of damage to my vehicle due to the impact of the frame splitting and many other parts of the vehicle were affected. Now Mitsubishi is expecting me to pay for some of the alternative damage caused by this accident. They are asking me to pay for damage that was done to the power steering pump and hose for a total of $1,700. …”

The contact took the vehicle to the dealer 8 times. At first they identified the problem as the spring coil front improper adjustment. But the noise persisted.

“The contact owns a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated that while his mother owned the vehicle, she received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V458000 (Suspension). She took the vehicle to a dealer and upon inspection of the vehicle, the dealer found no defect with the lower control arm and sprayed an anti-rust agent on the part to prevent corrosion. Recently, the contact stated that while his daughter was at a stoplight, she heard an abnormally loud sound coming from the vehicle. …”
