Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR4 SPYDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS BULB BURNED OUT. AFTER SEVERAL NEAR CRASHES, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS FAILURE WITH THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. MITSUBISHI'S DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM COULD NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE COMPUTER SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THE YEAR OF THE VEHICLE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FIVE DIFFERENT PLACES, INCLUDING THE MITSUBISHI DEALER, BUT NONE OF THEM COULD DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM PUMP, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM COMPUTER, AND THE WHEEL SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. IT HAS BEEN CONCLUDED THAT THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR THIS FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN FOUR MONTHS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

FLUID WAS DISCOVERED LEAKING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE ON MY 1995 3000GT SPYDER VR-4 ON JUNE 19 2006. I FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS ON AUTOMOTIVE.COM. I CONTACTED LIBERTYVILLE MITSUBISHI AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHY IT DID NOT QUALIFY. I CONTACTED MITSUBISHI AMERICA AT 1-888-648-7820 AS SUGGESTED ON THE WEBSITE HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/CARS/PROBLEMS/RECALLS/RESULTS.CFM. MITSUBISHI TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL NUMBER WAS C0203N, AND THAT IT HAD EXPIRED ON JANUARY 2005. I THEN CONTACTED THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 888-327-4236. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL NUMBER WAS 02V143001, AND THAT IT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR 10 YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL RECALL DATE, WHICH WAS MAY 2002. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED THAT I FILL OUT THIS COMPLAINT. *JB

Seat belts

I OWN A 1995 MITSUBISHI 3000GT SPYDER VR4, AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELTS FAILING TO RETRACT. THE SEAT BELT HAS TOO MUCH SLACK, AND DOES NOT RETRACT WHEN EITHER BUCKLED OR NOT BUCKLED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ATTENDED TO. OUR CARS ARE TOO OLD TO RECEIVE THE FACTORY WARRANTY, SO THERE IS A NEED FOR A RECALL SO THAT WE CAN RECEIVED NEW PARTS. IF FIXED THIS COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE, IF UNATTENDED TO, THIS COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE, BUT NOT RESTRAINING THE OCCUPANTS IF A COLLISION OCCURS. *JB

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
