MY CAR ONLY HAS 65000 MILES ON IT. SO FAR I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A RADIATOR, HEADS, AND NOW MY HORN AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOW BROKE. MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE MECHANIC WAS THAT MITSUBISHI ISSUED A BULLETIN IN MARCH 2002 STATING THAT THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE HORN/AIR BAG. IN ORDER FOR ME TO FIX THE HORN I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW AIR BAG. I AM VERY SURPRISED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANY KIND OF DAMAGE THAT I HAVE DONE TO THE CAR, AND I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY HAD EVEN ISSUED A BULLETIN. ALSO, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW TRACK BROKE. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND SINCE THE CAR IS ONLY A 2001, AND I ONLY HAS 65, 000 MILES ON IT WHY I AM HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS. *AK
