Dealer wants to replace rear lower control arms due to corrosion and the car control arms were never addressed when I took it into the dealer for recall 16V458.

High Point Mitsubishi in High Point NC preformed the recall in regards to rust forming on the underside crossmember of this vehicle. Less than 3 years later this vehicle is immovable because of the exact same reason as the original recall. The technician obviously overlooked areas of which to spray the rust preventative in which caused the structural integrity to completely fail at the front mounting location of the driver side control arm onto the crossmember. This vehicle is not safe to drive any longer because of Mitsubishi's lack of thoroughness in performing and evaluating the situation and the condition of said crossmember. High Point Mitsubishi now insists that the issue was resolved even after clear pictures have been sent showing the clear damage and obvious nature of the reasoning of the recall in the first place but argue that they took care of the recall although obviously the exact issue that the recall was made for is thr reason this vehicle is no longer driveable.

AFTER MY ABS, TCS, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON, I STARTED TO RESEARCH WHAT MY PROBLEM WAS. COME TO FIND OUT THE ABS PUMP MOTOR IS GETTING LOW VOLTAGE RESULTING IN POOR BRAKING AND OVERALL DRIVEABILITY IN ANY WEATHER. IN MY RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY MITSUBISHI'S AROUND THIS YEAR. I WAS COMPLETELY FINE WITH REPLACING THE PARTS BECAUSE THE CAR ISN'T SAFE FOR MY CHILDREN, BUT WHEN LOOKING INTO THE COST OF REPLACEMENT OF SUCH A SMALL PART, I (ALONG WITH MANY OTHER PEOPLE) CAN NOT AFFORD TO SPEND ~$2000 TO MAKE OUR CARS SAFE. IF THIS HAS TRULY BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SO LONG WHY HASN'T MITSUBISHI HANDLED IT YET. UNTIL I CAN FIND A CHEAP REPLACEMENT OR IF MITSUBISHI CARES ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY, I WILL BE DRIVING MY 2010 OUTLANDER WITH NO ABS OR TRACTION CONTROL. WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE.

Complaints 1-50 of 60, newest first, 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.
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.
