“Driver seat rocks back and forth (braking and accelerating) I'm afraid seat may become so lose that it can break back causing a safety issue. Dealership said Mitsubishi is aware but they have not done anything to fix the issue. I am 2000 miles away from my bumper to bumper warranty to expire. I feel I was just brushed away.”
