CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PUMPING FUEL IN - TOOK TO MECHANIC; HE SAID BATTERY FINE FEW DAYS LATER, CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PUMPING FUEL IN - TOOK TO MECHANIC; HE SAID BATTERY BAD. I REPLACED BATTERY. FEW DAYS LATER, CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PUMPING FUEL IN - TOOK TO MECHANIC; HE SAID NEW BATTERY FINE. SINCE CAR DID NOT START 3 TIMES IN A ROW AFTER PUMPING GAS, AND I NEEDED A JUMP EVERY TIME, I HAD MECHANIC DO A DIAGNOSTIC. HE SAID THE ISSUE WAS TIED TO A RECALL BULLETIN. 10V065000 - FILLER PIPE AND CAP. CALLED MITSUBISHI TO FIX IT BUT THEY SAID MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE I AM STATE OF CALIFORNIA. I DO A LOT OF MY DRIVING IN SNOW SO I FEEL MITSUBISHI SHOULD FIX THIS FOR ME. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD SO I NEED TO FIX IT ASAP (PLUS I DON'T WANT TO GET STUCK AT A GAS STATION AGAIN NEEDING A JUMP). I'D LIKE MITSUBISHI TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS EXPENSE BECAUSE NOW I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

THE CAR HAS BEEN ACCUMULATING FLUID ON THE FLOOR OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. USURE OF WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS, WE HAVE BEEN ABSORBING THE WATER AND AIRING OUT THE CAR. MOLD HAS ACCUMULATED AS WELL (BLACK MOLD) AND NOW I KNOW WHY I'VE HAD REPEATED RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, INCLUDING PNEUMONIA THREE TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. RUST IS ALSO FORMING DUE TO THE CONSTANT HUMIDITY LEVELS INSIDE THE CAR. THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS TO BE RUSTING AS WELL AS THE DRIVER'S SIDE CHAIR FLOOR MOUNT. I CANNOT SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING, AS IT IS COVERED BY THE PANELS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES THAT DUE TO THE LIQUID ON THE FLOOR OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE, MY FOOT HAS SLIPPED WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE WHICH HAS LED TO POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS. AS I CANNOT SEE THE FLOOR ITSELF (DUE TO THE CARPETING), I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS RUSTING OUT AS WELL. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO A DEALER YET, SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS... I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE RAIN WAS GETTING INTO THE CAR SOMEHOW. WELL, SINCE IT HASN'T RAINED IN OVER ONE WEEK, AND THE PUDDLE IN THE CAR WAS WORSE THAN EVER BEFORE, I SUSPECTED THE A/C SYSTEM. I WENT ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND YET THERE IS NO RECALL? I AM APPALLED THAT THIS SITUATION HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? FUNGAL RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS CAN LEAD TO DEATH, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE VULNERABLE. SLIPPERY BRAKE PEDALS, RUSTING FLOOR BOARDS AND RUSTING SEAT FLOOR ANCHORS, POTENTIAL FOR ELECTRICAL SHORTS AND/OR FIRES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE COMPANY HAS APPARENTLY NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE ISSUES. PERHAPS IT WILL TAKE A DEATH FOR A RECALL? I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT NO MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DEFINITIVELY TELL US WHERE THIS LEAK WAS COMING FROM, NOR WERE WE ABLE TO TELL... UNTIL NOW. IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS. THIS CAR HAS NO RESELL VALUE AND SHOULD NOT BE SOLD DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS HARM. THIS MATTER IS LONG OVERDUE!

HAD RECALL REPAIRED (FUEL INJECTION PIPE)@ POMOCO HAMPTON VA. IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 6 MILES UP THE ROAD. FIVE DAYS LATER WATER STARTED LEAKING ON DRIVER SIDE ONLY. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER. THEY STATED, A HOSE WAS MISSING ON RECALL REPAIR. I WONDERED WHY WHENEVER I TOPPED OFF GAS @ THE PUMP, FUEL LEAKED FROM BACK TIRE AREA UNDER VEHICLE. FIRE HAZARD. THEY QUOTED 1500 TO FIX WATER LEAK. GOT A IT FIX @ ANOTHER AUTO REPAIR. SIX MTHS LATER, BACK TO POMOCO FOR YRLY INSPECTION, 2 DAYS LATER, WHENEVER I PRESS BRAKES, MAKE TURNS ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, OR IN MOTION I FEEL SOMETHING ROLLS UNDER MY FEET BUT CANT SEE IT, MUST BE UNDERNEATH. A MTH AFTERWARDS, EVERYTHING IS WET. ALL THE FLOOR BOARDS, PUDDLES. CARDBOARD, TOWELS NOTHING WILL STOP THE WATER FLOW WITH AC FUNCTIONING. I HAVE 128,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, BOUGHT IN 2010 WITH 51,000 ON IT. EVER SINCE THE FUEL PIPE RECALL, THAT POMOCO TOOK 3 MTHS TO COMPLETE BECAUSE THEY DIDNT WANT TO DO THE WORK WHICH FORCED ME TO FILE COMPLAINT WITH THE CORPORATION, NHTSA, & ONE OTHER, I'VE HAD WATER PROBLEMS. THIS WILL BE TAKEN TO A HIGHER LEGAL LEVEL DUE TO THIS IS & CONTINUES TO CAUSE HARM, INTENTIONAL OR OTHERWISE. WE'RE ADVISED HERE NOT TO GET PERSONAL BUT MOLD & MUSHROOMS ETC, SHOULD NOT EXIST IN A VEHICLE. I SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH LOTS OF OTHERS AND NOTHING DONE TO DATE. STARTED IN AROUND OCT 2015 (RECALL REPAIR) & AGAIN MAY 2016.

THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED TO THE AGE OF VEHICLE, NOR IS IT OWNER-CREATED. IT IS A MANUFACTURER DESIGN FLAW. DRIVER-SIDE FRONT FLOOR STAYS SOAKING WET. SHOES GET WET AND SLIPPERY WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHILE PRESSING ON GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS (DRIVING HAZARD). MOLD CONTINUES TO GROW EVEN AFTER CLEANED (HEALTH HAZARD). TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS A FAILED GROMMET FROM THE EVAPORATOR CORE DRAIN. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ($700 REPAIR ESTIMATE TO REPLACE GROMMET). DUE TO HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARDS, A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS MANUFACTURER FLAW/FAULTY MATERIAL!

STANDING WATER ON DRIVER SIDE FLOOR.HVAC DRAIN PLUG IS CLOGGED AND NOW WARNING LIGHTS FOR MANY DIFFERENT ITEMS ARE APPEARING ON DASH DISPLAY AND THIS IS CAUSED BY WATER RUNNING THROUGH. I DO NOT KNOW OF MANY AUTO MAKERS THAT PUT DRAIN PLUG UNDER DASH BOARD. THIS COULD VERY WELL TURN INTO AN ELECTRICAL AND OR FIRE HAZARD. CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE FIRST THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS. THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE SO THEY DO KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

THIS INVESTIGATION WAS OPENED ON DECEMBER 30, 2009, BASED ON FIVE CONSUMER REPORTS ALLEGING GASOLINE FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL FILL PIPE. SOME OF THE COMPLAINANTS INDICATED THE FUEL FILL PIPE HAD CORRODED TO THE POINT OF BEING PERFORATED, ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK FROM THE PIPE. WE HAD THIS FIXED IN CONCORD, NH. NOW IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AGAIN. THEY SAY THEY DO NOT FIX IT TWICE. I CALLED LAST NOVEMBER AND MITSUBISHI WAS NO HELP AT ALL. WE HAVE ONLY 115, 000 MILES ON THE CAR.
