WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR SOME TIME LAST YEAR EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE BUT AFTER A FEW MONTHS THINGS STARTED TO GO WRONG ON THE CAR. IT BEGAN WITH ME CONSTANTLY HAVING TO GET THE OIL CHANGED THE TIRES WERE BAD THE CAR STARTED MAKING NOISES THAT I COULDN'T EXPLAIN AND THE TIRES IN THE TIRES IN THE BACK WERE CONSTANTLY BUSTING. THE ENGINE IS NOW GOING BAD AND I HAVE BOUGHT AT LEAST 10 SETS OF TIRES FOR THE BACK IN THIS YEAR ALONE. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP PUTTING IN THIS CAR AND CONTINUE TO PAY THE LEASE OFF FOR IT AS WELL. ITS GETTING ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BETWEEN APRIL AND MAY 2014 THIS 2013 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER HAS BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY IN STARTING, AT ONE POINT IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. SOME BELTS (I DON'T KNOW WHICH) SQUEAK EVERY SO OFTEN. ON 03 JULY 2014 THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND HAS SINCE BEEN RECEIVING IT'S SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, INDICATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THEY HAD NONE IN STOCK. I WAS TOLD TO CALL BACK IN A WEEK. I HAVE CALLED EVERY WEEK SINCE THEN AND I AM ALWAYS TOLD IT IS IN BACK ORDER, THAT THERE ARE MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES WAITING FOR THIS PART. SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS INDICATIVE OF A PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN 55 DAYS SINCE THEY FINALLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND CANNOT KEEP A ALTERNATOR FOR MY VEHICLE IN STOCK LONG ENOUGH TO REPLACE THE FAULTY ONE IN MY VEHICLE. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE, KEEP BURNING OUT. EVEN A BRAND NEW BULB WILL BURN OUT MAKING NIGHT DRIVING DANGEROUS EVEN WITH THE GLOVE BOX STOCKED FULL OF NEW BULBS. IT APPEARS THERE MAY BE A LEAK IN THE SEALS (AND MOISTURE GETS ON THE HALOGEN BULBS). THE LIGHTS ARE ALSO QUITE DIFFICULT TO CHANGE ( EVEN THOUGH I HAVE CHANGED THEM ABOUT 20 TIMES). THIS IS A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT UNITS PER MY MECHANIC. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
WHILE DRIVING THE FCM, (FRONT CRASH MITIGATION), AND ACC, (ADAPTER CRUISE CONTROL), LIGHTS CAME ON WITH MESSAGE "SERVICE REQUIRED". I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. A MONTH LATER THEY CAME ON AGAIN, THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE NEXT TIME THE LIGHTS CAME ON IT WAS "AIRBAG SERVICE REQUIRED". I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY DIAGNOSED THE ECU GOING BAD. NOW, WHEN A LIGHT COMES ON, WHICH IS OFTEN, I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA IF SOMETHING IS REALLY NOT WORKING. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A WEEK TO GET THE PART, TODAY THEY TOLD ME THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH A SIX MONTH OLD CAR. I ALSO FIND IT ODD THAT A PART FOR A BRAND NEW CAR IS ON BACKORDER. *TR

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
SIDE VIEW MIRRORS I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN, AVERAGE HEIGHT 5'3". I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI MOTORS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS ON MY CAR, TO WHICH THEY RESPONDED 'THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS MEET U.S. SAFETY STANDARDS'. I HAVE BEEN TERRIBLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER'S OVERSIZED SIDE VIEW MIRRORS, BOTH ON THE DRIVER AS WELL AS PASSENGER SIDES. THEY ARE NOT ONLY AWKWARDLY PLACED, HEIGHTWISE, BUT ARE ALSO HINGED IN A WAY THAT CREATES HUGE BLIND SPOTS ON BOTH SIDES. THEY OBSCURE MY VISION, CREATING BLIND SPOTS WHEN CHANGING LANES, WHEN MAKING TURNS, AT PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS. I HAVE TO STOP FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TO CLEAR BOTH SIDES, IN ADDITION, I HAVE TO RAISE MYSELF IN MY SEAT TO CLEAR THE HEIGHT OF THE MIRRORS. I HAVE HAD INNUMERABLE 'NEAR MISSES' BECAUSE THEY BLOCK MY VIEW OF APPROACHING CARS TO MY RIGHT/LEFT. THE REASON I FINALLY AM WRITING TO YOU IS BECAUSE I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN A FEW WEEKS AGO, DUE TO THE MIRROR BLOCKING MY VISION OF THE INDIVIDUAL CROSSING. IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OFF BECAUSE THEY EXTEND SO FAR FROM THE MAINFRAME OF THE CAR, CAUSING ME HUGE REPAIR COSTS. I REQUEST YOU ADVISE ME HOW TO GET MITSUBISHI'S ATTENTION TO REMEDY THIS HUGE PROBLEM, AND HOW I CAN PURSUE THIS MATTER SO THAT THIS DESIGN FLAW IS RECTIFIED. I HAVE CONTACTED CONSUMER REPORTS AND THEY PROVIDED ME NAMES OF SEVERAL AGENCIES THAT I AM CONTACTING AS WELL. *TR

SEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE PARKED AND TURNED OFF(FOR 15 MINUTES), THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT(HEATED SEAT) CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE WAS DISCOVERED QUICKLY AND EXTINGUISHED BEFORE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TOOK PLACE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH MITSUBISHI WHO DIRECTED ME TO THE LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE MITSUBISHI(KERRY MITSUBISHI) DEALER WOULD NOT SHARE THE RESULTS WITH ME BUT CONTACTED MITSUBISHI. THE "MANAGEMENT TEAM" AT MITSUBISHI REJECTED ANY RESPONSIBILITY SAYING THAT THE FIRE CAME FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE. I HAD ONLY REQUESTED THAT THEY REPLACE THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH, MUCH WORSE. *TR
