GOT TRUCK MAY 2007 FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WITH 15K MILES AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A DAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER PAPERS WERE SIGNED, I STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE ENGINE RAN FINE. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. THE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP SAID IT MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE GAS CAP BEING LOOSENED BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY FILLED THE GAS TANK AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 35-40 MPH AND IMMEDIATELY RAN WITH A ROUGH IDLE AND BUCKED WHEN ACCELERATING. THE FOLLOWING MORNING WITH LIGHT STILL ON, BUT NO ROUGH IDLE OR BUCKING, MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP TESTS DETERMINED IT WAS THE #2 SPARK PLUG, WHICH THEY CORRECTED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER...

2006 MITSUBISHI RAIDER @ 42,000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH NO SOLUTIONS. FIRST I HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, LIGHTS AND DASH CUTTING OFF, NO SPEEDOMETER, RADIO WOULD CUT OFF. ONCE IT WOULDN'T CRANK, I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY SAID I WAS MISSING A FUSE, APPARENTLY IT FELL OUT WHILE IN ROUTE TO DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE I CHECKED ALL OF THEM BEFORE I CALLED TOW TRUCK, CHECKED WITH TEST LIGHT, ALL WERE WORKING, ALL WERE IN PLACE.......50.00 FOR THE TOW, 40.00+ TO REPLACE A FUSE. CONSTANTLY USES BRAKE FLUID.....TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS LOW ON BRAKE FLUID.....PROBABLY BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING ALL OVER THE DRUM, DEALER DID NOT FIX. HAD SOME KIND OF ECU REPLACED FOR ELECTRONICS, STILL DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM. TRUCKS REAR BRAKES BEGAN TO DRAG AND LOCK UP. CALLED DEALER, THEY SAID MY SERIES OF VIN NUMBERS WASN'T...

I HAVE A 2006 MITSUBISHI RAIDER THAT HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES, SOMETIMES THE DASH LIGHTS GO OUT, ALL THE GAUGES QUIT WORKING, INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER AND THE RADIO CUTS OFF.....SOMETIMES DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY. EVEN AFTER TAKING TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES. REAR BRAKES HAVE BEEN LOCKING UP AND 'DRAGGING' UPON STOPPING SOMETIMES, HASN'T DONE IT LATELY, I THINK THE PART MAY HAVE FINALLY BROKE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ITEM, BUT DEALER SAYS MY TRUCK WAS NOT IN THAT SERIES OF SERIAL NUMBERS THE DEFECT WAS FOUND IN, ALTHOUGH IT DOES THE SAME THING AS THE RECALLED TRUCKS MADE THE SAME YEAR AS MINE. NOW THE REAR BRAKE DRUM IS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. TRUCK HAS 36, 000 ON IT, DEALERS HAVE BEEN NO HELP WHATSOEVER ON ANY OF THE ISSUES. *TR
