Owner-reported complaints naming the exterior lighting system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Exterior lighting reportsComplaints 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.

ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED A HIGH LEVEL SAFETY ISSUE, I FEEL THAT MITSUBISHI IN ITS' UNWILLINGNESS TO PROVIDE A PROPER REPLACEMENT, EVEN WHEN ASKED BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRATION IS UNACCEPTABLE! *JB
