"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL, JULY OF 2016, FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG (MITSUBISHI HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG OVER A YEAR AGO. I CALLED OUR MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP @ 1-850-785-1591, TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. I WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE, & THAT WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY WERE. WE STOPPED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON 10-24-16 & WERE TOLD THE SAME THING (PART NOT AVAILABLE). I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY 12-12-16 & WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THE PARTS MANAGER SAID HE DID NOT HAVE A TELEPHONE # OR PART # TO EVEN ORDER THE AIRBAG. THIS RECALL/DELAY WAS DISCUSSED ON THE NATIONAL NEWS & GAVE THIS WEBSITE TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT. AIRBAGS BEING REPLACED FIRST APPLIED TO THE ELDERLY OR HOT ZONES (I LIVE IN FLORIDA). MY VEHICLE IS AN OLDER MODEL WITH MANY MILES & IT IS VERY HOT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. I QUALIFY TO BE IN THAT 1ST GROUP TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW, WHAT I MUST DO, TO GET MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED. (I DON'T WANT TO DIE FROM METAL SHARDS FLYING OUT OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT) THIS 6 MONTH DELAY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

ITS NOT RECOGNIZING THE KEYS OR THE VIN #. IT ALSO WON'T START SOMETIMES AND I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO GET IT TO START. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION- AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE WHILE SHIFTING INTO DRIVE/REVERSE. LATER WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON NORMAL DRY ROADS, THE VEHICLE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE GEAR BOX WAS FAULTY, AND A COMMON PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
GOT TRUCK MAY 2007 FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WITH 15K MILES AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A DAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER PAPERS WERE SIGNED, I STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE ENGINE RAN FINE. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. THE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP SAID IT MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE GAS CAP BEING LOOSENED BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY FILLED THE GAS TANK AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 35-40 MPH AND IMMEDIATELY RAN WITH A ROUGH IDLE AND BUCKED WHEN ACCELERATING. THE FOLLOWING MORNING WITH LIGHT STILL ON, BUT NO ROUGH IDLE OR BUCKING, MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP TESTS DETERMINED IT WAS THE #2 SPARK PLUG, WHICH THEY CORRECTED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON & ENGINE RAN FINE. THIS HAPPENED 3 OR 4 TIMES A YEAR THROUGH 2009. I NOTICED THAT IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF AND NO LONGER FUNCTION. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING IT, IT NO LONGER HAD ROUGH IDLE OR BUCKED ON ACCELERATION; HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WOULD STILL NOT COME ON OR FUNCTION UNTIL A DAY OF TWO LATER WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, 2 TO 5 MINUTES AFTER STARTING ENGINE IN AM & WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 35-40 MPH, ENGINE KILLED & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. ENGINE RESTARTED WITH ROUGH IDLE, BUCKING WITH ACCELERATION & THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT FUNCTION. TWO WEEKS AGO, WHILE SIGNALING A LEFT TURN, THE DASH BLINKING LIGHTS BEGAN BLINKING ON THE RIGHT & THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, ENGINE KILLED, ETC. JUST HAPPENED AGAIN. GETTING DANGEROUS... HELP!
