THE WHEEL COVERS ON MY CAR FLEW OFF RANDOM TIMES GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. TIRES WERE IN GOOD CONDITION BUT IT SEEMS THAT ANYTIME I WENT OVER 70MPH I WOULD LOSE A HUBCAP. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR CAR DAMAGE. HEADLINER IN BACK WINDOW HAS STARTED TO COME DOWN BLOCKING REAR VIEW. THE DASHBOARD PASSENGER SIDE HAS COME LOOSE FROM BEHIND GLOVE BOX. THIS HOUSES THE AIR BAG COULD PREVENT PROPER DEPLOYMENT OR DANGEROUS DEPLOYMENT IF ITS EVER NEEDED. LASTLY, THE CLEAR COAT ON THE TRUNK HAS CHIPPED AWAY. I KNOW AT ONE POINT THERE WAS A RECALL ON (BLACK) CARS FOR THIS SPECIFIC REASON. EXCEPT MY CAR IS GOLD. :( ON THE POSITIVE NOTE THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION HAVE BEEN GREAT. *TR

REAR WINDOW REGULATORS BROKE ONE MONTH APART. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE REGULATOR BROKE IN SEPTEMBER 2010 AND REAR PASSENGER REGULATOR BROKE IN OCTOBER 2010. CAR HAS BEEN OWNED FOR 4 YEARS. *TR
MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING 45,988 MY 2005-2007 ENDEAVOR, GALANT, ECLIPSE COUPE, AND MY 2007 ECLIPSE SPYDER VEHICLES. THE BRACKET THAT IS THE ATTACHMENT POINT FOR THE LEFT REAR FUEL TANK MOUNTING STRAP MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY FORMED DURING A METAL STAMPING PROCESS. THE PROCESS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE METAL TO HAVE A SPLIT IN THE AREA WHERE THE BOLT THAT HOLDS ONE OF THE TWO FUEL TANK STRAPS TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED. IN THE EVENT THE FUEL TANK IS FULL AND THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A SEVERE COLLISION, THE BRACKET MAY BREAK AND ALLOW THE FUEL TANK TO DROP DOWN, POSSIBLY CAUSING A FUEL LEAK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT TO SEE IF THE LEFT REAR FUEL TANK STRAP MOUNTING BRACKET HAS SPLITTING BEYOND A SPECIFIC LIMIT. VEHICLES WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE SPLITTING WILL BE REPAIRED USING A REINFORCEMENT CAP, A SPECIAL STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE, AND A RIVET TO REINFORCE THE FUEL TANK MOUNTING BRACKET. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-0037.
