DEAR SIR, I HAVE A 1994 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR4 , PURCHASED NEW AND MAINTAINED IN IMMACULATE CONDITION.OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS THE SEATBELT RETRACTOS HAVE BEEN GRADUALLY FAILING AND NOLONGER PROPERLY TENSION THE BELT AFTER I BUCKLE.MITSUB REP SAYS OUT OF WARRENTY, TOUGH LUCK. IT COST ME $280.00 TO HAVE THE DRIVER BELT ASSEMLY. REPLACED. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM (PER MITSU CLUB INFO VIA INTERNET. DOES MITSUBISHI HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY BEYOND WARRENTY?? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. *AK

LEARNED FROM DEALER THERE IS AN "OUTGASSING" WHICH CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG - CLEANING DOESN'T HELP - CAUSES A GLARE WHICH MAKES VISIBILITY EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IN ALL TYPE OF LIGHT AND WEATHER

WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING, WHICH DAMAGED THE TIMING BELT AND VALVES, CONSUMER FEELS THAT THIS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *SLC

THESE TRANSMISSIONS FAIL WAY TOO OFTEN AND SOMETIMES, AND ALSO THE TRANSFER CASES LOCK UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND DO NOT LET MITSUBISHI SLIDE ON THIS!!

DEALERSHIP REPLACED 5TH GEAR UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW 3RD GEAR SYNCHROS ARE GOING OUT. ALSO FRONT DISC BRAKES GET WARPED EVERY 6 MONTHS OR SO OF DRIVING, HAVE TO REPLACE/RESURFACE ROTORS BEFORE BRAKE PADS NEED REPLACING EVERY TIME. HAVE REPLACED ROTORS 4 TIMES IN 3 YEARS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ON A DIRT ROAD, LESS THAN 10 MPH, CONSUMER THOUGHT THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS GOING FLAT. WHEN EXAMINING THE VEHICLE, THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED ABUOT 8-10 INCHES. THE WHEEL HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

CLUTCH ASSEMBLY HAD LOOSE BOLTS. THIS CAUSED VEHICLE TO JUMP OUT OF 5TH GEAR. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH. ALSO WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE GEAR. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION AND VIN#. *AK

ABS LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY, ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING THROUGH MUSHY SNOW DURING WINTER TIMES. THIS HAPPENED OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, IN AS EARLY AS ONE YEAR AFTER NEW OWNERSHIP. IN THE PAST, THE LIGHT WENT AWAY AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE OR AFTER A FEW DAYS. HOWEVER, THIS TIME, FEW DAYS AFTER DRIVING OVER A FEW INCHES OF FLOOD WATER, THE ABS LIGHT HAS CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR MORE THAN A MONTH NOW. DEALER ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST IS ABOUT $3641.32. QUESTION: HAS THERE BEEN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE ABS ISSUES? SHOULD THE MANUFACTURER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT, CONSIDER THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 38,000 MILES AND IS UNDER 5 YEARS OLD? THANKS. *AK
