2006 Mitsubishi Raider Airbags Problems

Hi- We have been trying to get our Mitsubishi Raider 2006 recall for an exploding sharp metal pieces that can cause death fixed with zero help. We have been without a car for over one year due to being ignored by Mitsubishi Corporate and our closest Mitsubishi Cutter Dealership. We live on an island in Hawaii that does not have a dealership so car must be shipped to Oahu to be repaired. Talked to manager at Cutter Mitsubishi many times and she said it’s Mitsubishis problem to figure out. Mitsubishi Corporate has been contacted at least 4 times with nobody contacting me back. Case worker [XXX] has completely ignored my case. Called recall number and have filed 5 cases now with no response. I will have to file a lawsuit to get help. Can someone please call [XXX] @ [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN SERIOUS OFFSET HEAD ON CRASH WITH A FULL SIZE CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE SIDE APRON AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY ON BOTH SIDES. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A TWO LANE RURAL ROAD WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 45MPH. DON'T KNOW ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEEDS. CHEVROLET VEERED INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE AND STRUCK THE MITSUBISHI RAIDER XLS TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I BELIEVE THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG CONTRIBUTED TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE MITSUBISHI DRIVERS INJURIES.

TAKATA RECALL -SERRA MITSUBISHI, BIRMINGHAM AL.- I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY AIR BAGS. IT TELLS ME IN THE LETTER THAT A LOANER/RENTAL VEHICLE WILL BE PROVIDED. I CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT, DEALER WILL NOT PROVIDE A VEHICLE FOR THE 3 HR REPAIR. I ONLY NEEDED A RIDE BACK TO WORK WHILE WAITING ON REPAIR. NOT LIKE I WANTED A VEHICLE TO RIDE AROUND IN. I CALLED THE MITSUBISHI HOT LINE AND WAS TOLD IT WILL BE PROVIDED. IF THE SERVICE MANAGER WILL CALL THE REGIONAL MANAGER IT WILL BE STRAIGHTENED OUT. I CALL THE DEALER BACK AND PAST THE SAME INFORMATION. WAITED TWO DAYS FOR A RESPONSE AFTER BEING TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK. I FINALLY CALLED THEM TO HEAR THE SAME STORY OF NOT PROVIDING A RIDE FOR THE THREE HOUR REPAIR. IF THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, THEN WHY IS IT WRITTEN IN BLACK AND WHITE, INFORMING OWNERS THAT IT BE PROVIDED. IT APPEARS TO ME THEY ARE MISLEADING OR LYING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND DO NOT CARE IF THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE INCONVENIENCED. THE DEALERSHIP IS IN BIRMINGHAM AL. "SERRA MITSUBISHI".

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL, JULY OF 2016, FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG (MITSUBISHI HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG OVER A YEAR AGO. I CALLED OUR MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP @ 1-850-785-1591, TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. I WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE, & THAT WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY WERE. WE STOPPED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON 10-24-16 & WERE TOLD THE SAME THING (PART NOT AVAILABLE). I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY 12-12-16 & WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THE PARTS MANAGER SAID HE DID NOT HAVE A TELEPHONE # OR PART # TO EVEN ORDER THE AIRBAG. THIS RECALL/DELAY WAS DISCUSSED ON THE NATIONAL NEWS & GAVE THIS WEBSITE TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT. AIRBAGS BEING REPLACED FIRST APPLIED TO THE ELDERLY OR HOT ZONES (I LIVE IN FLORIDA). MY VEHICLE IS AN OLDER MODEL WITH MANY MILES & IT IS VERY HOT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. I QUALIFY TO BE IN THAT 1ST GROUP TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW, WHAT I MUST DO, TO GET MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED. (I DON'T WANT TO DIE FROM METAL SHARDS FLYING OUT OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT) THIS 6 MONTH DELAY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
