I had an accident while driving down a hill in snowy weather. i have driven for 29 years so i am an experienced driver, having driven this road for eleven years...without an accident. my neighbor was the first one to come to me after the accident and he said it looked as though my back wheels were locked up. i know not to hold the brakes...and i imagine that all four brakes would have slid had it been because the brakes were being held. i was headed for the ditch..hoping to be able to slow the car down without crashing and for some reason the vehicle just shot in the other direction and struck three trees head on. my air bags did not deploy and i don't believe that the seat belt caught either...i hit the steering wheel with my chest and hurt my neck and my teeth clacked together hurting them. i was wearing the seatbelt. i am quesioning why the seat belts and air bags didn't work and wonder if there is a malfunction in the braking system and or the accelation. | |||

Hi, when you have the ac on max and your head lights on the lights dim every time the ac compressor kick on and stays dim until the compressor kicks off. i took it to the dealer they said the battery was bad and replaced it. the problem was still there they had me bring it back in and they kept it for seven hour and called me to come pick it up they found nothing wrong. they said there was no dimming and the alternator is putting out fine with everything turned on. i still have the problem and when going down the road depending on how much the compressor is kick it looks like you are flashing your lights at the car ahead of you. if you go on mitsubishi forum web site this has been a problem from 2003 to 2011 and people are being lied to by the dealers. i have been told by other machines that the alternators are to small and being stressed and will fail. i have a lot of traveling to do starting next month to other states i need this fixed. i worry about being behind a police officer with my lights flickering. | |||

I took my 2010 mitsubishi outlander in for a noise in the rear and they found the third row seat anchor broken. mitsubishi claims that the anchor is broken and that it is non warranty. i cannot imagine that a vehicle with this low of mileage would not cover a safety issue that involves the safety of its passengers. especially children who would ride in this seat. i guess mitsubishi don't care about keeping their seats anchored to the car for the safety of its riders. | |||

My right rear wheel kept making a noise. so i pulled off the wheel to see the brake pad was almost completely gone. i had them replaced an the mechanic said the caliper was sticking he also said it should be covered by warranty. upon taking it to the dealer, they said it is not covered because i had the pads changed even though it was occurring before with the original pads. mitsubishi warranty is a joke! *tr | |||

Snowstorm conditions. severe vibration of entire car driving over 40 mi/hr on highway. stopped to see if snow/ice is trapped in rims or wheelwells. nothing is visible to remove. has happened 4 times during a snowstorm. when snow/ice melts problem corrects itself. people have suggested cleaning rims before leaving, but if you can't see anything, how can you clean it. dealer has suggested taking the car to a carwash and spraying the rims with hot water, but this is not possible when driving on the highway to or from work. this not only seems extremely unsafe but i am afraid that there is damage being caused to the car because of the violent shaking. in my opinion, this should never happen to anyone driving on the highway. not only is it a safety hazard to have the vibration, but it is a safety hazard to have to stop on the highway to check your rims during a snowstorm. |
