“2010 Mitsubishi Outlander. Consumer writes in regards to drive belt recall reimbursement. Mitsubishi stated since the consumer already had the drive belts replaced, he was not entitled to reimbursement. According to the recall, the belt would have been replaced free of charge, only if the consumer encountered a problem. The consumer had the drive belts replaced as under the 60,000 mile maintenance.”

“Vehicle has recall for belt and pulleys which may lead to vehicle stalling and loss of control. Contacted dealers 3 times and Mitsubishi once. They do not have the parts to do the repairs. No idea when they will have the parts. The 800 number supplied by Mitsubishi for the purpose of getting information makes no mention of the recall. You have to call another department and they will transfer your call, but no information once you reach them. Any suggestions?”
