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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Engine

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2020. IT HAD 12 MILES ON IT AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE I WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER. ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2020 I TOOK THE VEHICLE ON A 3 HOUR DRIVE. WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MILES PER HOUR, THE VEHICLE HIT A DECEASED SMALL ANIMAL (ROADKILL) WITH THE PASSENGER TIRE. THE VEHICLE THEN BECAME COMPLETELY DISABLED AS THE ENGINE STOPPED OPERATING. PER THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER, THE OBJECT WAS ABLE TO BOUNCE OFF OF THE ENGINE, AS IT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY PLATING, SHIELDING OR PROTECTION. AS THE VEHICLE SITS VERY LOW TO THE GROUND, THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER WAS SURPRISED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THIS ENGINE PROTECTION AS A STANDARD MEASURE. AS A RESULT, THE SMALL OBJECT WHICH SHOULD HAVE JUST BOUNCED OFF THE CAR WAS ABLE TO CAUSE THE ENGINE TO COMPLETELY DISABLE AND NEED TO BE FULLY REPLACED. THE DAMAGE WAS OVER $9,900 IN TOTAL. IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS PARTICULAR MITSUBISHI CAR ONLY HAS A SMALL STRIP OF PLASTIC KICK PLATE UNDER THE BUMPER AREA, AND THERE IS NO PROTECTION AT ALL FROM ELEMENTS OR OTHERWISE TO THE ENGINE UNDERCARRIAGE. NO REMEDIES WERE OFFERED TO ME IN REGARD TO THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE.
