Consumer Description

THERE IS A FLAW IN THE HEATER ON LANCER AND OUTLANDER MODELS. MITSUBISHI HAS ADMITTED IT BY SERVICE BULLETIN. AS I UNDERSTAND A FUNCTIONAL HEATER AND DEFROSTER IS REQUIRED BY NHTSA. I LIKE EVERY OTHER OWNER OF SUCH CARS ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON MY HEAT AND THE KNOB SNAPPED OFF. NOW THERE IS NO HEAT OR WINDSHIELD DEFROST. OVER 1000.00 IS NEEDED FOR REPAIR AND IT'S HAPPENING TO ALL OF THESE CARS. *TR
