Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints 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.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest Feb 25, 2010
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

The fuel filler pipe is leaking from behind the protection plate. I've contacted a local dealer and the Manufacturer and feel that I'm getting the run around as there is a previous recall for this same problem on the 2004 model, while mine is a 2010. I had it inspected prior to contacting Mitsubishi.

TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT FIX MY PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT MITSUBISHI STOPPED MANUFACTURING THE PART NEEDED. THE CAR IS ONLY EIGHT YEARS OLD! YES THEY DISCONTINUED THIS MODEL BUT THE PARTS? THIS IS RIDICULOUS, MY AIR BAG SENSOR IS DISABLED AND TURNED OFF WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I CANNOT FIX IT AND I WONDER IF I CAN EVEN SELL IT DUE TO THE FACT IT HAS NO WORKING AIR BAGS. HOW CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS? I THOUGHT THE NHTSA WAS A PLACE WHERE CONSUMERS OF CARS SOLD IN THIS COUNTRY COULD GO TO HELP REMEDY THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS.

SRS WARNING LIGHT IS ON AND MITSUBISHI TOLD ME THEY CAN'T REPAIR THIS SINCE THEY STOPPED MAKING THE PART AFFECTED. IT NEEDS A NEW SENSOR WHICH CONTROLS THE AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY. I WAS TOLD IF IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY OR EVEN ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOY IN A NO ACCIDENT SCENARIO. THE CAR IS ONLY EIGHT YEARS OLD AND THEY STOPPED MAKING THE PART? THIS DEFINITELY COMPROMISES SAFETY!
