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" 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 vehic

2006 Mitsubishi raider @ 42,000 miles. This vehicle has been nothing but problems with no solutions. First I had electrical problems, lights and dash cutting off, no speedometer, radio would cut off. Once it wouldn't crank, I had to have it towed to the dealership, where they said I was missing a fuse, apparently it fell out while in route to dealership, because I checked all of them before I called tow truck, checked with test light, all were working, all were in place.......50.00 for the tow, 40.00+ to replace a fuse. Constantly uses brake fluid.....took to dealer and they said it was low on brake fluid.....probably because it was leaking all over the drum, dealer did not fix. Had some kind of ECU replaced for electronics, still didn't fix problem. Trucks rear brakes began to drag and lo

Got truck may 2007 from a Toyota dealer with 15k miles after driving it for a day with no problems. After papers were signed, I started the engine and the check engine light was on. The Toyota dealership told me to take it to a Mitsubishi dealership since it was still under warranty. The engine ran fine. The following day the check engine light was no longer on. The Mitsubishi dealership said it may have been caused by the gas cap being loosened by the Toyota dealership when they filled the gas tank at the time of purchase. Shortly afterward, the check engine light came on while driving 35-40 MPH and immediately ran with a rough idle and bucked when accelerating. The following morning with light still on, but no rough idle or bucking, Mitsubishi dealership tests determined it was the #2 sp
