I HAVE A 2003 MITSUBISHI LANCER ES, AND MY CAR IS FALLING APART WHEN YOU TOUCH IT. ALSO THE BODY, DOORS, AND PAINT BEND AND STRACH REALLY EASILY. IN THE ENGINE THE PARTS ARE NOT SITTING PROPERLY, THE BOLT TO THE BELT TENSIONER IS SITTING SIDE WAYS, THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING KNOB BROKE OFF WHEN IT WAS TOUCHED, THE KNOB WAS HARD TO TURN BACK AND FORTH, THE CAR JUMPS INTO GEAR WHEN YOU PUSH THE GAS, IT ALSO HESITATES WHEN THE GAS IS PUSHED, WHEN SITTING STILL THE CAR WANTS TO DIE IN AND OUT BEFORE GOING AGAIN, IT SUCKS GAS LIKE CRAZY. *JB

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
