FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
THE FUEL PUMP SHORTED OUT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. WE WERE TOLD THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY LARGE EXPOLOSION, KILLING EVERYONE INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND ANYONE NEAR BY. WE HAVE THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP, WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS BURN MARKS. A MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENATIVE ASSURED ME THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT HAVE EXPLODED; HOWEVER, HE COULD OR WOULD NOT EXPLAIN WHAT SAFETY DEVICES MIGHT BE IN PLACE TO PREVENT SUCH AN EXPLOSION. I AM TRADING THIS VEHICLE TOMORROW (JUNE 18) BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE REPAIR SHOP HAVING THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED SO I CANNOT PROVIDE THE VIN # AT THIS TIME; HOWEVER, I WILL HAVE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION YOU MAY REQUIRE SHOULD YOU WISH TO FOLLOW UP ON THIS REPORT. *AK

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR, SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY VEHICLE IS WONDERING ON THE ROAD SO BAD THAT IT HAS BECAME A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I CANN'T GET THE DEALER TO DO ANY THING ABOUT IT. MY VEHICLE IS DRIFTING ON THE ROAD SOME TIME TO THE RIGHT AND SOME TIME TO THE LEFT. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 15 MONTHS. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN 15 TIMES, I HAVE SPENT MY MONEY AND TIME AND I'M GETTING NO WHERE. PLEASE HELP ME! I WILL PORVIDE THIS VEHICLE FOR ANY KIND OF TESTING. I HAVE SEARCHED AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS PORBLEM HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST WITH INJURIES. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT HAD ONLY 15K MILES. IT WAS A PROGRAM CAR FROM MITSUBISHI. PLEASE CONTACT ME DAY OR NIGHT AFTER JANUARY 5TH, 1999, I WILL PROVIDE ANY DOCUMENT THAT YOU WOULD NEED. THANKS, MIRWAIS RAHIN
