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.

FRONT CROSS MEMBERS AND LOWER CONTROL ARM RECALL. THIS CROSSBAR HAS BEEN RECALLED AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE FOR 6 TO 8 MONTHS NOW. TODAY 9-7-16, I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS DOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING, I SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED AND THEN GOT BACK UP TO 30 MPH AND THE SHAKING CAME BACK, I DID THIS 3 OR 4 TIMES. I HAVE HAD IN THE SHOP AT MIDAS AND JOES GARAGE AND NEITHER OF THEM KNOWS WHY IT DOES THIS. I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BUT I NEED MY CAR. IT FINALLY STOPPED DOING IT TODAY AFTER I CAME TO A STOP AND STARTED UP AGAIN ON THE 5TH TRY. IT SEEMS TO GO AWAY FOR AWHILE! I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE PART HAS NOT BEEN MADE FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE RECALLED ITEMS. I HAVE SPENT MONEY ON SHOCKS, SUSPENSION, BEARINGS, ETC. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IF THE TWO PLACES I HAVE TAKEN IT CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT. MITSUBISHI DEALER TOLD ME TO WAIT TIL THE PARTS COME IN, BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX IT WITHOUT THE PARTS?
