IT HAS BEEN 14 WEEKS (OVER 3 MONTHS) SINCE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED BY MANUFACTURER AND 6 WEEKS SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT TO OWNERS. MANUFACTURER IS NON-RESPONSIVE AND NOT FULFILLING THEIR AGREED TO OBLIGATIONS. MITSUBISHI HAS SAID THEY WILL COMPLY WITH THIS RECALL, BUT ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET AND WILL NOT OBTAIN OR DISTRIBUTE PARTS TO DEALERSHIPS. MITSUBISHI IS ALLOWING A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT TO FESTER ON THEIR PRODUCT BY NOT FULFILLING THEIR OBLIGATIONS. PLEASE FORCE THIS COMPANY TO COMPLY WITH THEIR OWN DIRECTIVES AND NOT JUST PAY LIP SERVICE TO THIS ISSUE.
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.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
