STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
AFTER NEARLY SIX YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, THE SKIRTS AROUND THE CAR ARE COLLAPSING, THE PLASTIC PINS HOLDING THEM IN PLACE HAVE DETERIORATED AND I HAVE LOST THE RIGHT HAND PASSENGER SIDE SKIRT ALTOGETHER. MITSHUBISHI REFUSES TO REPLACE IT OR FIX THE REST SO THAT THEY WON'T FALL EITHER. I AM FACING HAVING TO PURCHASE A FULL NEW SET. THIS IS NOT WEAR AND TEAR AS WHEN THE PAINT FINALLY PEELS OFF, THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE USED POOR EQUIPMENT AND I HAVE NOTICED THEIR NEWER VERSIONS NO LONGER HAVE THE REMOVABLE SKIRTS.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
BOTH SIDE DOOR WINDOWS LEAK WATER. THE LEAK OCCURS EVEN DURING A RAIN STORM. THE CAR CAN JUST BE SITTING IN THE DIVEWAY AND WATER WILL LEAK DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOWS. THIS WILL CAUSE MECHANICAL FAILURES TO THE DOOR LOCKS, WINDOWS AND EVENTUALLY CAUSE MOLD / MILDEW TO FORM. I DIDN'T SPEND $ 31,000.00 TO HAVE A CAR LEAK, MOLD OR RUST PREMATURELY. PLEASE HELP IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM. *AK

IN THE PAST 2 YEARS , THERE HAVE BEEN 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE RIMS BEND VERY EASILY OUT OF SHAPE FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND THEN THE TIRES BEGIN TO LOSE AIR SLOWLY AND CANNOT HOLD ITS PROPER AIR/TIRE RATIO AMOUNT THEREBY CAUSING DRIVING TO BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE TIRES DO NOT REMAIN PROPERLY INFLATED.*AK
