BOUGHT THE CAR FROM DEALER IN LASVEGAS AN THE BACK SEAT AIRBAGS HAD BEEN TAMPERED WITH, THE CAR HAD ABOUT 13,500 MILES ON CAR FROM A RENTAL AGENCY BUT CAR DEALER HAD CAR BACK AN OFFERED THE 60,000MILE GUARANTEE ON CAR FOR THE REMAINING MILES WHEN I CALLED DEALER IN ST. LOUIS,MOI SAID EMERGENCY LIGHT JUST STARTED COMING ON WHEN I GOT HOME FROM LASVEGAS .MY DEALER THOUGHT MAYBE AN ANIMAL HAD CHEWED THROUGH WIRES IN BACK SEATS BUT WHEN THEY CHECKED THEY FOUND OUT THAT SOMEONE HAD CUT THE WIRES AN TAPED THEM BACK TOGETHER, AN SAID THEY COULD NOY FIX THEM BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD TAMPERED WITH THEM.ALSO THE DEALER IN LASVEGAS DID A HIGH PRESSURE SALES ROUTINE ON US TO SELL US EXTRA INS. ON THE REST OF THE CAR SO IF SOMETHING WAS WRONG THEN IT WOULLD BE COVERED, NO MATTER WHAT IT WAS AT FIRST THEYWANTED ABOUT ANOTHER $4000 BUT I SAID I WOULD NEVER PAY THAT MUCH BUT THEN THEY CONTINUED TO PRESSURE US TO BUY IT UNTIL I AGREED TO PAY EXTRA OVER $2000 FOR ALL REST OF CAR INSURANCE. THE DEALER ON ST . CHARLES ROCK ROAD DID THE INSPECTIONS IN ST.,LOUIS COUNTY MO. THEY TOOK PICTURES AN DOCUMENTED ALL OF WHAT THEY DID TO THE CAR .THE ONLY THING I COULD GET THE DEALER TO FIX WAS OIL FILTER WAS ALSO PUT ON CAR FROM LASVEGAS DEALER BUT IT WAS NOT AN AUTHORIZED OIL FILTER SO THE LAS VEGAS DEALER AGREED TO PAY FOR OIL FILTER AND OIL CHANGE TO ST LOUIS MO DEALER . LAS VEGAS DEALER SAID THEY WOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FIXED EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHO COULD HAVE CUT THE WIRES AN THEN TAPED THEM BACK. ALSO I WENT ON LINE TO SEE REPAIR RECORDS OF CAR RENTAL COMPANY AND LAS VEGAS DEALER BUT NONE OF THEIR RECORDS SAID THEY HAD DONE ANY REPAIRS TO THE AIRBAGS AT ALL, SO THEY ASSUMED THAT SOMEONE ELSE DID THIS, BUT WHY WOULD I BUY EXTRA INS COVERAGE AND THEN TRY TO DO SOMETHING I HAD NO IDEA TO FIX WHEN I HAD PAID FOR IT TO BE DONE BY THE DEALER???????????NOT SURE OF DATES?????

18V620000 · Electrical System:software; Forward Collision Avoidance:software:pedestrian/cyclist/object/obstacle/ Recognition

Sep 14, 2018

Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) is recalling certain 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Outlander Sport, 2018-2019 Eclipse Cross, and 2017-2018 Outlander vehicles equipped with a Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) system that detects pedestrians. Due to incorrect software, the FCM-ECU (Electronic Control Unit) may apply braking for longer than needed, even after a pedestrian is no longer detected.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the FCM-ECU software activates the brake for longer than necessary, the driver may react by applying additional braking. The resulting rapid deceleration of the vehicle can increase the risk of a rear-end collision.

Remedy: MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the FCM-ECU software with updated software, free of charge. The recall is began October 16, 2018. Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1-888-648-7820. MMNA's number for this recall is SR-18-007.
