STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DOOR HANDLES THAT YOU PULL TO EXIT THE VEHICLE HAS SNAPPED OFF ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. I CANNOT EXIT THE CAR WITHOUT PUTTING THE POWER WINDOW DOWN AND REACHING OUT TO OPEN THE DOOR. IF I HAVE NO POWER I CANNOT PUT THE WINDOW DOWN MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR WITHOUT CLIMBING OVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. I BELIVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT BECAUSE I HAVE 2 DOOR HANDLES THAT HAVE CRACKED IN THE SAME PLACE, ONE HAS NOT COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF YET, BUT THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE HAS RENEDERING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE DRIVER TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THEY ARE MADE OUT OF CHEAP PLASTIC AND I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO FIND THE OTHER 2 HANDLES HAVE ALSO CRACKED IN THE SAME PLACE.

AT 41,500 MILES I HAD A BASIC FRONT BRAKE JOB PERFORMED ON MY CAR DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SEVERELY WHILE BRAKING. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS LATER I HAD THE ROTORS RESURFACED DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SEVERELY WHILE BRAKING. APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS AFTER THAT I HAD THE ROTORS RESURFACED AGAIN DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SEVERELY WHILE BRAKING. I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT SINCE IT IS NOT A "SAFETY ISSUE". IT IS. HOW CAN MITSUBISHI SAY THIS ISN'T A "SAFETY ISSUE"? WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM SO THAT LIVES DON'T HAVE TO BE LOST?*AK
