Mitsubishi - Misc. Problems

Mitsubishi • Airbag • Paint • Timing belt • Transmission • Miscellaneous

Keith of Keizer OR (7/9/03):
The exterior plastic molding on the doors is peeling back. The vehicle is under 3 years old and Mitsubishi will not replace their defective parts. When the back passenger door is open the front doors cannot be opened due to the molding from the back doors is holding the doors shut. In high traffic conditions it is hard to jump into the vehicle under this condition.

Sheila of Bronx NY (9/24/03):
I purchased a 1999 Mitsubishi Galant in January. I brought the car in about a month later complaining about the steering. I brought the car to get serviced 3 times for the same problem with no satifaction. They told me that it could be my tires that are causing the steering problem because they could be bad. I purchased 4 brand new tires that cost $600 and the problem still exists. I also brought the car in for a vibration and they told me it was my motor mounts. I replaced them and again, the problem still exists. When I went back to White Plains Mitsubishi I was given the cold shoulder.

I feel very unsafe driving this car. It is not stable and you cant drive the car without it drifting all over the place. It will lose control when hitting a minor pothole. Potholes cannot be avoided.

Chastity of Bakersfield CA (11/5/01):
I purchased a car in October of 96, a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse. It was the first model out, and of course has had nothing but problems. At this time, it is once again broken down. The belt tension is out, and when I notified Mitsubishi, they informed me that there is a bulletin informing consumers to replace various parts due to upgraded parts that are in.

My concern is that my car has had more problems than the average car, and I would like to know who to contact to discuss this problem. My power steering pump also went out last year -- it exploded, causing metal fragments to get in the steering column and drive shaft. They replaced it ($1,600 at their cost) but I don't believe a car should have this many bulletins out.
