I HAD A ACCIDENT WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. I WAS DRIVING ON A 6 LANE HIGHWAY & HIT A CAR THAT WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AS IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR NO APPARENT REASON OTHER THAN REACHING FOR SOMETHING IN THE FLOORBOARD. THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE FRONT END OF MY OUTLANDER, NEEDING TO REPLACE THE BUMPER, HOOD, LIGHTS, A/C CONDENSER & MORE. NONE OF THE 7 AIRBAGS IN MY CAR WERE DEPLOYED & NONE OF THE SEATBELTS LOCKED. I WAS TOLD FROM A LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALER THAT IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE, THERE WOULD BE A CODE IN THE COMPUTER, SO THEREFORE THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY OUTLANDER OR THE SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM.

RECEIVED AIRBAG WARNINGS WAS ADVISED IF I WRECKED WITH WARNING ON AIRBAGS MAYNOT DEPLOY HAD TO REPLACE PASSENGER SEAT THE CAR FELL TO READ THE KEY A LOT OF THE TIME EVEN WHEN ITS IN THE SLOT THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCEI GOT THE CAR WITH 400 MILES DEALER SAYS THEY CANT GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE ERROR SO I DO NOT KNOW ALSO THE STEERING AND CONTROL IS TERRIBLE IT SOUND LIKE IT ALWAYS NEEDS AN OILCHANGE MAKES A TICKING NOISE SEAT STICKS FROM TIME TO TIME ALSO IT DENT AND SCRATCH TO EASILY THE TIRES AND BRAKES FEEL TERRIBLE AT 24000 MILES I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE CD PLAYER REPLACE. *TR

SAME AS TWO (2) OTHER ENTRIES HEREIN..... THE ROOF SUSTAINED DENTS FROM THE BLOWER OF A NON-CONTACT CAR WASH. WHEN I FIRST SAW THE DENTS, I WONDERED WHAT CAUSED THEM. LIKE [XXX] SAYS....:"NOW YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY". AND NOW SO DO I. MYSTERY SOLVED. YES THE ROOF IS VERY THIN, AND " TINNY" SOUNDING IN THIS AREA. THE STEEL IN THIS AREA NEEDS TO BE TO REINFORCED WITH A LIGHT WEIGHT MATERIAL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I'M BACKING UP ON A REVERSE MODE AND A SLIGHTLY ELEVATED RV PARKING TO GET SOME HEAVY ITEMS NEXT TO MY DRIVE WAY, I SLOWLY MOVING AND TRY TO ALIGNED IT TO THE PAVEMENT I NOTICE THE BACKUP CAMERA DIDN'T WORK AND PRESS MY FEET TO THE BRAKE THEN AFTER I RELEASE IT ACCELERATE PAST BACKWARD HITTING THE WOODEN FENCH AND ZERO GROUND THE 6 FOOT SHED, CAUSING THE BACK BODY PART OF THE CAR WRECK AND I END UP ON A 3 BRICKS HIGH PLANTER. I HAVE SOME HISTORY IN THE PAST THAT THE FOLLOWING DAY THAT I GOT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER I RETURNED IT TO THEM BECAUSE I HEARED A POPPING SOUND ON THE ENGINE PART WHEN I STOP THE ENGINE, THEY SAID ITS JUST NORMAL BUT WITH ALL THE CARS THAT I HAD I NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS SO UNUSUAL AND THE STATIC ON THE CAR SEAT EVERYTIME I COME OUT OF THE CAR I EVEN TRANSFER THE STATIC FEEL WHEN SOMEBODY TOUCH ME I AND AFTER A WEEK THEY PUT LEATHER SEAT IT IS STILL THE SAME WHAT I DID I PUT A RUG ON MY SEAT THAT LESSEN THE STATIC. EVERYTIME I BRING THE CAR ON ALL THE COMPLAINTS THEY JUST IGNORE IT AND TELLING ME ITS JUST NORMAL AND BECAUSE I NEVER BOUGHT ANY BRAND NEW CAR EXCEPT MITSUBISHI SINCE 1997 SO MY TRUST IS STILL THERE UNTIL THIS CRASH HAPPEND TO ME AND FIRST TIME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE ITS GOOD THING IT HAPPENS WITH IN MY PROPERTY WHAT IF THIS MALFUNCTION HAPPENS OUTSIDE AND I HURT SOMEBODY THAT ACCIDENT WAS TRAUMATIC TO ME I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THAT CAR ANYMORE I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT. I FILE COMPLAIN WITH THEM, THEN AFTER 3 WEEKS THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ADVISE ME TO JUST CLAIM ACCIDENT ON MY INSURANCE. I ASK THE SERVICE MANAGER TO PLEASE EMAIL ME A COPY OF THEIR INVESTIGATION AND A WRITTEN REPORT ON THEIR ADVISE ON ME. MICHAEL OF MITSUBISHI ANAHEIM IS HESITANT TO GIVE ME ANY WRITTEN REPORT ON THE TEST THEY'VE DONE AND ADVICE THEY WANT ME TO DO. *TR

EVERY TIME WHILE EXISTING THE CAR, GETTING TOO MUCH STATIC. IT DOESN'T MATTER WITH WEATHER CONDITION. IF IT IS A SMALL DRIVE OR LONG DRIVE, STATIC BUILDING UP WITH SEATS FABRIC AND GIVES THE STATIC ELECTRICITY WHEN YOU TOUCH THE DOOR OR ANY PART OF THE VEHICLE. IT CONCERNING EVERY TIME WHILE GOING TO GAS STATION TO FILL THE GAS. *TR
