HORN STOPPED WORKING THEN MONTHS LATER HORN WENT OFF IN DRIVEWAY WITH NO ONE IN IT HAD TO POUND ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO STOP IT NEXT DAY TRIED TO SEE IF IT WORKS IT DID NOT BUT 5 MINUTES LATER WHILE DRIVING WENT OFF AND DID IT AGAIN 4 MINUTES LATER. 3 DAYS LATER AT 100 AM IN THE MORNING WAKING NEIGHBORS UP WENT OFF BY ITSELF AGAIN. *TR
THE PAINT ON THE SUNROOF AND HOOD THE CAR HAS FAIDED AND THE CAR HAS RUSTED, CAUSING IT TO LEAK.
MY CAR ONLY HAS 65000 MILES ON IT. SO FAR I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A RADIATOR, HEADS, AND NOW MY HORN AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOW BROKE. MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE MECHANIC WAS THAT MITSUBISHI ISSUED A BULLETIN IN MARCH 2002 STATING THAT THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE HORN/AIR BAG. IN ORDER FOR ME TO FIX THE HORN I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW AIR BAG. I AM VERY SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANY KIND OF DAMAGE THAT I HAVE DONE TO THE CAR, AND I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY HAD EVEN ISSUED A BULLETIN. ALSO, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW TRACK BROKE. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND SINCE THE CAR IS ONLY A 2001, AND I ONLY HAS 65, 000 MILES ON IT WHY I AM HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS. *AK
3 of 3 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
