ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
ABOUT A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, IT SAT FOR 3 DAYS WHILE I WAS AWAY ON NAVY BUSINESS. WHEN I RETURNED, I HAD TO SIT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I NOTICED THE ENGINE TEMP GAUGE WAS FULL HOT. I FINALLY GOT TO A ROAD TO LET THE ENGINE BREATH, AND THE GAUGE DIDN'T GO DOWN. I TOOK THE CAR TO KELLY MITSUBISHI THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPEN. I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT THE HEATER DIDN'T PUT OUT HOT AIR. THEY REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. NO PROBLEMS SINCE THEN.

#703588February 22, 1999
LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
DOOR LOCKS FAILED ON BOTH SIDES. CANNOT OPEN WITH KEYS. CAN OPEN OKAY FROM WITHIN. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A YOUNG, OLD, OR DISABLED PASSENGER COULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE. THIS MAY BE A COMMON MITSUBISHI/DODGE/DSM PROBLEM BECAUSE MY 1993 DODGE STEALTH SUFFERS THE SAME PROBLEM. SEE WEB SITE: HTTP://WWW.3SI.ORG/WWWBOARD/INDEX.HTM FOR POSTED MESSAGED BY OTHER OWNERS!
