I PURCHASED A MITSUBISHI MONTERO AS A MAIN CAR TO TRANSPORT BACK AND FORTH TO MY BUSINESS. THE CRANK SHAFT PULLEY BOLT CAME OUT AND I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 WEEKS BEFORE THE PULLEY BOLT BROKE OFF IN THE CRANKSHAFT NOW I AM STUCK TRYING TO FIND A MECHANIC TO DRILL THE REMAINDER OF THE BOLT OUT. I BELIEVE THAT BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH THE COUNTLESS CONSUMERS THAT HAVE NOT LOGGED ONTO THIS SITE TO LAUNCH THIS COMPLAINT AND SINCE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT MITSUBISHI DEALERS SHOULD RECALL THIS PRODUCT AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS LEAKING OIL AT ONLY 1500 MILES. CONSUMER DID FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ON THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO OVERHEAT. THE DEALERSHIP IS FALSIFYING INFORMATION TO AN OFFICER BECAUSE THEY TOLD HIM CONSUMER WAS BEHIND ON HIS PAYMENTS AND HE IS NOT. *TT *JB

I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND MY A/T LIGHTS CAME ON ASWELL AS MY BATTERY LIGHT. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND OPENED MY HOOD AND SAW MY HARMONIC BALANCER/PULLEY LAYING ON MY SKID PLATE AS WELL AS A BROKEN BOLT. I RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND OUT IT HAPPENS ALOT ON THE VEHICLE AND THAT ITS VERY COMMON. I USE THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO SCHOOL AND TO WORK NEVER ABUSE IT AND NOW I AM STUCK PAYING MORE THEN I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR. ALL THAT IS ABLE TO HAPPEN IS ME PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND SUFFER MISSING SCHOOL. THE VEHICLE IS A 1991 MONTERO.
