“Dealer ( miami lakes auto-mall in zip code 33014) never has parts available, I have been calling for over a year to set up an appointment to no avail. Should anything happen to me or any other person or any property destruction is incurred due to the lack of urgency set forth by the aforementioned dealer or Mitsubishi in fixing these recalls, me and my family will hold all within the dealer and Mitsubishi accountable/responsible.”

“Vehicle was involved in an serious offset head on crash with a full size chevrolet silverado. The side apron air bag failed to deploy on both sides. Both vehicles were traveling straight on a two lane rural road with a speed limit of 45mph. Don't know actual vehicle speeds. Chevrolet veered into the opposite lane and struck the Mitsubishi Raider xls traveling in the opposite direction. I believe the failure of the driver side curtain airbag contributed to the seriousness of the Mitsubishi drivers injuries.”

“Hi- We have been trying to get our Mitsubishi Raider 2006 recall for an exploding sharp metal pieces that can cause death fixed with zero help. We have been without a car for over one year due to being ignored by Mitsubishi Corporate and our closest Mitsubishi Cutter Dealership. We live on an island in Hawaii that does not have a dealership so car must be shipped to Oahu to be repaired. Talked to manager at Cutter Mitsubishi many times and she said it’s Mitsubishis problem to figure out. Mitsubishi Corporate has been contacted at least 4 times with nobody contacting me back. …”
