Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

SEATBELT BUCKLE RECALL PARTS NLA: THERE REMAINS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT OF INEFFECTIVE AND FAILING SEATBELT BUCKLES FOR THE 1987 MITSUBISHI STARION (OTHER YEARS AS WELL AS CHRYSLER CONQUEST - SAME CAR, DIFFERENT NAME). MITSUBISHI CLAIMS REPLACEMENT PARTS TO BE NO LONGER AVAILABLE, AND WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL. THIS IS A LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. BEING A RARE, OLDER CAR IS NO EXCUSE.
