The brake booster accumulator is leaking so it makes a 'chirping' sound from the left side of the vehicle. This is a recognized fault with this vehicle and a recall was issued i did not get notification of the recall so did not get it fixed. It has now become a problem which i am told could cause the brakes to fail, obviously a serious safety issue. I have spoken to mitsubishi and they will not honor the recall. *tr

I drove my family to their doctor app. And when i was parked gasoline was dripping down in front of the drivers rear tire onto the pavement upon inspection i saw gasoline running off of the top of the gas tank i then went and told the parking lot attendant what was happening he then had to blockade that area of the parking lot off. I had call to get us a ride home . I had my vehicle towed home and had a mechanic inspect it and he found the steel gas lines were completely rusted thru on the pressure side and the return line as well upon further inspection he found severe frame rot and said it won't pass inspection when it comes due next time.

On 9/4/2017 at approximately 615am the vehicle was parked in the garage. 10 minutes later our puppy was barking at the door leading to garage. Husband went to see why and saw smoke coming from the door. He opened the door and the garage was filled with black smoke and there was a fire on the underside of the vehicle. Consequently this led to my entire home burning down.

This week i have had two occurrences where the horn just starts blaring and won't stop. Once was in the afternoon, and the other was at 5:00 am. My only diy alternatives are to disconnect the battery (obviously can't use the vehicle), or remove the fuse (very unsafe). The vehicle was stationary, no weather problems, temperature was mild (around 70 degrees). Prior to this happening, the horn rarely worked at all; at least not when i wanted it to work. I googled the problem and it appear to be very widespread on this vehicle. From what i have found out, it involves removing the airbag assembly, so getting it fixed is very costly (over $1000). I expect to spend some money on a few items here & there on a 16 year old vehicle, but i don't expect to spend over $ 1000 on a vehicle just to make the horn work right.
