MY HUSBAND BOUGHT A MITSUBISHI RALLIART 2009 LANCER AND WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OF WHICH CAR ROLLED OVER. THE CAR WAS TOTALED WHEN WE VIEWED THE CAR AT THE TOWING LOCATION THE DRIVER AIRBAGS DID NOT OPEN ONLY PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENED. THE VEHICLE FIRST HIT A LIGHT POLE AND THEN ROLLED OVER, SO I WOULD THINK THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG WOULD HAVE OPENED. MY HUSBAND HAS BACK INJURIES ALONG WITH CUTS AND SCRAPES BUT GOOD THING NOTHING MAJOR HAPPENED. MY CONCERN IS TO ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLES ARE WELL PREPARED FOR ANY TYPE OF VEHICLE ACCIDENT. *TR

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.
