Consumer Description

THE CONTROL FOR THE HEATER/AC IS HARD TO TURN. HAS BEEN SINCE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE EVENTUALLY BROKE AND NOW HAVE NO DEFROSTERS TO KEEP WINDOWS DEFROSTED DURING WINTER MONTHS. VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. AFFECTS VISIBILITY AND SAFETY. MITSUBISHI IS WELL AWARE OF THIS DEFECT. WHEN TALKED WITH DEALER, HE KNEW THE PROBLEM AND PRICE OF REPAIR, WITHOUT SEEING THE VEHICLE. MANY CONSUMERS ONLINE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MITSUBISHI SINCE 2002. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE TO HAVE THIS RECALLED. *TR
