Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAS BEEN TESTED A NUMBER OF TIMES; DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE STALLS WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE; IN MAY, VEHICLE BEGAN TO KILL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40 AND 65 MPH. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED ON ONE OCCASION WHEN THE CAR STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR TO A DIFFERENT MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP IN LIBERTYVILLE, ILLINOIS. IN MID-JULY, THEY STATED THAT A FLASH/RECALL WAS BEING DEVELOPED AND WOULD BE READY IN MID-AUGUST; THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED TO PICK UP MY CAR. DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES REGARDING THIS CAR, I REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE CAR. THEY SAID THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED FOR STORAGE OF THE CAR AND FOR ALL RENTAL CAR COSTS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH MITSUBISHI MOTORS HEADQUARTERS, AND THEY PROMPTLY SENT A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE TO ASSESS THE SITUATION. ULTIMATELY, A FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD TO RETURN THE CAR IN MID-AUGUST WHEN THE RECALL SOFTWARE IS FINALLY DEVELOPED.*AK
