My name is [xxx]. And i am requiring about the safer car recall.. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

My entire back tail lights, side lights, and dash lights failed and due to this another driver bumped my vehicle because my lights went totally out as i was driving and i could not see anything on the dash and it was night time when this happened, they worked before i entered my vehicle. My headlights are very dim as well since the incident and i cannot adjust them from inside. *tr

Odometer, gas, temperature gauges stopped functioning... You don't know how fast you going you don't know how much more gas left in your tank... On jun 8, 2007 i'm on my way home the level on my gas stuck on half i though it's really half full but its not & i ran out of gas about less than a mile away from my home. What if it happened on the freeway. *jb

I own a 2000 mitsubishi mirage that i bought new off the lot. I noticed it had trouble shutting several years ago and it had a loud squeak. About a year later the drivers side door had the same issue for a few months in the winter but stopped in the summer. This winter (2006/2007) the passenger door started acting up once again. It wasn't until around easter that i was with my daughter shopping and after 3 or 4 stops the door wouldn't close. It had dropped about 1 inch so it no longer lined up. When we got home i checked the hinges. The door had cracked around the connection point so the door is pulling away from the hinge. I have taken the car to 3 different body shops and they all confirmed it is rust that caused the failure. I believe this is a manufacturers problem and should be treated as such. I had taken it to the dealership where i bought it several weeks ago and they took pictures but have never contacted me back. They said that although i was within the number of years for the corrosion coverage i was over the allowed miles. Anybody will say the number of miles has nothing to do with it. Rust happens over a period of time. In fact i have seen other car companies that have a time limit for the corrosion yet unlimited miles. If mitsubishi had this it would still be under warranty. The estimated cost is anywhere from 1000.00 to 1500.00 depending on if it can be repaired or has to be replaced. I have tried to call the mitsubishi customer relations but when i press the number to connect to the complaint department nothing happens and eventually a voice comes on that says "if you would like to make a call, please hang up and dial again". I am concerned to let my kids ride in the car and even if no one was in the passenger seat if for any reason the door fell off while driving it could cause a major accident. At this time i am afraid the drivers door is following the same path yet just hasn't shown it yet. *tr

My car was having a starting issue for the past year and a half. I took it to the original dealer (nemet), mitsubishi, pep boys, and sears. Eveyone told me the car was fine. Yet, the car contined to not start 3 days a week. Recelty i am told it is an electrical issue which after research i have found can cause the car to smoke and ignite. I told this to mitsubishi (corporation and star dealership) and both told me all they could do is put me in to another car which ment another 5 year pay off. I am ata loss with waht to do.*ak

Problems with power to the headlamps. Both headlamps are currently not working, neither high or low beams. I have checked the power going to the headlamps, replaced the switch, the main 40a fuse, both headlamps and the 10a fuses on the box, i took it to a dealer/shop recommended a full disgnostic check and possibly replacing wiring leading up to the headlamps. This is the 3rd major concern on this vehicle since it was purchased new. In 2001 the main wiring behind the dash board has fused together causing wiring failure throught the intire vehicle. The cruise control light stays on for days at a time even when cruise is not in use. As well i am currently experience a problem with the door on the passangers side not shutting tightly and is slowly comming off the frame, resulting in the door light to remain on. *ak

I first started noticing that my dashboard lights werent coming on, but was unaware that my parking lights were also directly affected by this. Then while traveling down the expressway another motorest continuously kept flashing his lilghts at me from behind. Now it was dark so i thought that something major was wrong. I pulled over to notice that my tail lights werent on as well as my parking lights . So i took my car to a friend who works on foreign cars and he tested everything but couldnt find a problem. I am wondering if there has ever been a problem with this before, and if there is something that we over looked. If so please contact me: [email protected] , thank you.*ak

The passenger side door hinge has collapsed, because it was not aligned. The driver side door is beginning to do the same thing. At this time no one can sit on the passenger's side.*ak the opening and closing of both doors is consistent with average / normal use. Passenger side door can not be closed from the inside as it need to be lifted and closed at the same time. *eh.......*ak *jb *bf

When we purchased our vehicle we were so very happy but that in time that has changed. For some reason the doors started to stiffen up and were getting hard to open and close no matter what we tried doing. We were greasing the hinges like anyone normal person should and they just kept getting worse until one day the door just seemed to be not sitting right. So we locked that door and stoped using it until we could have it looked at. Then a few weeks later an other door started doing the same thing. We took in the car and was told that the hinge was no longer attached because it had broke. After talking to the dealership i purchased the car from i was told it was covered under our extended warranty but when i took it in to be worked on i was then told it wasn't covered and that it was mitsubishi's problem to fix it. After trying for weeks to get a hold of someone i finally did. I was told it is a known problem but they wouldn't cover the charges. They were concidering it normal wear and tear. What i couldn't believe what they were saying normal thats bull what four year old car has there doors falling off for no reason. This is horriable. And to top it off our mother in law bought the same car a few weeks after we did and is having the same exact problem. Normal wear and tear my butt. This is just one way customers get ripped off! *ak
