“On june 21,2007 I was involved in an accident. The front of 2007 mitsibushi outlnder was crushed in. The car was 4 months old. The car has since been totaled due to about $13,000 worth of damage. The problem is that I was 9 months pregnant and the air bags failed to deploy. The body shop stated that they should have and that the crossbeam that holds the airbag sensor was what busted the radiator as well as the block. I could have been killed as well as my unborn child.”
NHTSA complaint #10197364, filed 2007-07, 4,500 miles“My mitsibishi SUV Outlander ls 2007 had failed to stop about between 20-30 ft. From the car ahead of me. When I tried to stop in a sudden move, the anti-skid and anti-lock plus ABS system failed. I hit the other vehicles rear bumper and my SUV bumper got hit and within few seconds the whole SUV caught in fire and burnt. I was not able to collect my items from the back seat of the car. There's an issue with an engine design also. I need NHTSA to investigate and push mitsibishi to investigate to save other people's life and correct the problem.”
