SEAT BELTS
THE CABLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT DROPPED OUT OF THE CHAMBER AND THE SHOULDER BELT ANCHORAGE BECAME STUCK. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY TAKEN MY 1993 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE IN TO THE DEALER FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 97V073001. THE PROBLEM THAT THIS RECALL WAS DESIGNED TO FIX IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING. THE DEALER WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS BECAUSE OF THE 12 MONTH, 12,000 MILE WARENTY HAS EXPIRED ON THE RECALL. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND I FEEL I COULD BE AT RISK.*AK

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
CAR WOULD SHUT OFF AT ANY TIME/ WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A GREEN LIGHT, OR WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN STOPPING. WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND EACH TIME IT HAPPENED. AND THE FUEL GAGE STOPPED GOING TO FULL. FUEL MILAGE WENT FROM 32 MPG TO 26 MPG. THEY TOOK 8 DAYS TO REPAIR THE CAR BECAUSE THEY DID'NT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY HAD TO TALK TO THE ENGINEERS AT MITS. TO FIND OUT HOW TO FIX IT. THEY ENDED UP REPROGRAMING THE CAR. THEY SAID THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER CARS TOO. BUT NOT THIS BAD. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
DOOR HINGES ARE NOT PROPERLY ROTATING CAUSING THE HINGE TO HAVE BENT THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR DOOR AND CAUSE TROUBLE BEING ABLE TO CLOSE THE CAR. THE HINGE IS OBSTRUCTING THE CLOSURE OF THE DOOR AND CAUSING DAMAGE TO IT. DEALERSHIP IS CLAIMING THAT THE DOOR WAS PREVIOUSLY BENT FROM STRONG WINDS OR BY A STRONG OPENING OF THE CAR DOOR. NOTHING OF THIS SORT HAS HAPPENED- NO WINDS STRONG ENOUGH IN CHICAGO TO MAKE SUCH A BEND IN THE DOOR FIXTURE AND MY OWN STRENGTH COULD NOT CAUSE THE DAMAGE THAT IS IMPLICATED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS SHOULD BE A WARRANTIED ISSUE AND RISKS OUR SAFETY BECAUSE THE DOOR PROGRESSIVELY RELEASES THE HINGE AND DOES NOT PROVIDE A SECURE INTERIOR BY NOT BEING ABLE TO CLOSE SHUT. DRIVER'S SIDE IS WORSE, I SUSPECT BECAUSE OF MORE FREQUENT USE. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS SHOWING THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM AND WILL PROGRESSIVELY BEGIN TO BE A HASSLE TO TRY TO CLOSE. I SUSPECT THAT IT WILL ALSO CAUSE THE PROBLEM EXPERIENCED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. *AK
