2008 Mitsubishi Lancer

I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE DUE TO SNOW AND SLUSH OFF A TRACTOR TRAILER HITTING THE BACK END OF MY CAR. THE TRACTOR TRAILER WAS GOING ABOUT 80MPH PAST ME AS I WAS GOING ONLY 60MPH, DUE TO MY CAR BEING FRONT WHEEL DRIVE IT CAUSED ME TO SPIN OUT AND LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I CROSSED INTO THE LEFT LANE OF TRAFFIC (NOT HITTING ANYONE) AND THEN BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE WHERE I THEN PROCEEDED TO GO OFF THE ROAD DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. I BASHED MY HEAD AGAINST THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AS I LOST CONTROL, I THEN HIT MY HEAD AGAIN AGAINST THE WINDOW AS THE REAR END OF MY CAR HIT A TREE STOMP. THROUGH HITTING THE TREE STOMP IT CAUSED MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY BUT NOT THE DRIVER SIDE, SIDE AIRBAGS. DUE TO THE DRIVER SIDE, SIDE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING AS I HIT THE TREE STOMP MY HEAD SMACKED AGAINST THE DRIVER WINDOW EXTREMELY HARD AND CAUSED ME TO GET A CONCUSSION. *TR

ESTABA EN LA AUTOPISTA Y ME PRENDI LA LUZ DEL ABS Y EL AUTOMVIL SE SENTA AGUANTADO CUANDO ME TOC FRENAR EL AUTOMVIL DE MOMENTO NO FREN BIEN. DESPUS PROCED A LLAMAR AL SERVICIO DE REMOLQUE DE LA MITSUBISHI Y BUSCARON EL CARRO A MI CASA. EL 01/14/2010 EL DEALER LE ENCONTR FALLA EN SENSOR Y SE LO REEMPLAZARON. (MN116244 SENSOR, RR ABS,RH).

ON WEDNESDAY MORNING 4/24/2013 AFTER NIGHT SHIFT I WENT OUTSIDE TO START MY CAR 5-10 MINUTES EARLY JUST LIKE ANY OTHER TIME PRIOR TO DRIVING. I PUT MY CAR IN GEAR TO PULL AWAY AND A SERVICE SIGNAL WENT OFF STATING "MAINTNENCE REQUIRED" WITH A DEPICTION OF A TRANSAXEL AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION IN "MOTION". I THEN PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BREAK TO INSPECT. THE AWC FUNCTION WOULD NOT WORK, "TARMAC" TO "GRAVEL" TO "SNOW". THE NEXT DAY I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO D'AMBROSIO MITSUBISHI FOR THEIR TECHNICIANS TO LOOK AT IT AND REPAIR IT. THEY DID THE USUAL MAINTNENCE OIL CHANGE, FLUID CHECK, TIRE ROTATION ETC LIKE I HAVE DONE EVER 2500 MILES. THE TECHNICIANS DISCOVERED THE S-AWC PUMP HAD SEIZED UP AND THAT THE PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HE STATED IT WOULD COST $2500.00 TO REPLACE, I ASKED WHAT I HAD DONE TO CAUSE SUCH A CATASTROPHIC EVENT; THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS A FLAW CAUSED BY MITSUBISHI AND THERE WAS NOTHING I HAD DONE OR DID NOT DO TO CAUSE THIS. I THEN LEFT AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M GOING TO DO NOW THAT I HAVE A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CAR THAT IS MEANT TO BE A FULL TIME ALL WHEEL DRIVE CAR, NOW ITS SITTING UNDER A TARP AND I TAKE THE BUS OR GET A RIDE. *TR

2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS AND OTHER FAILURE ISSUES WITH VEHICLE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY DEALER CLEANED THE MAP SENSOR AND THROTTLE BODY AND CHARGED THE CONSUMER. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CHARGED. MITSUBISHI STATED THE CONSUMER WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE CLEANING, BUT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TOWING CHARGES. THE CONSUMER THEN LEARNED FROM THE DEALER, THE MAP SENSOR PROBLEM WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE CONSUMER STATED HE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM ON TWO OTHER OCCASION, WHERE THE DEALER HAD TO SEND A MECHANIC OUT, TO CLEAN THE MAP SENSOR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD BROKE DOWN AND WOULD NOT START. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE, WHERE THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON 98% OF THE TIME AND IT WOULD TAKE 4-5 TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP CUTTING OFF.

I TOOK MY CAR TO VERACOM MITSUBISHI SAN MATEO C.A. WHERE I PURCHASED MY 2008 MITSUBISHI GTS FOR THE RECALL ID # 09V077000 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:CHECK VALVE - , THEY DENIED THE RECALLED AND SERVICES ON MY VEHICLE AND CHECK THERE COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND SHOWED ME THERE WAS NO RECALLED FOR THIS CAR AND PROBLEMS. I CHECK THE WEB SITE AND NHTSA.GOV THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM WORRY ABOUT THE FAULTY PARTS AND UNSURE WHERE I CAN GET HELP AND TO GET IT REPAIRED. TODAY IS SATURDAY AND I HAVE TO DRIVE VERY LATE TO PICK UP MY SON FROM BABYSITTER AT NIGHT, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CAR AND DRIVING MY CAR DURING THE RAIN STORM.

HI MY NAME IS [XXX] AND THE REASON I'M WRITING THIS EMAIL IS BECAUSE I'M AN OWNER OF A 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER THAT I LEASE ON APRIL OF 2007. NOW THE PROBLEM IS THAT I WAS DRIVING THE OTHER DAY AND MY SIDE AIRBAGS ON MY DRIVER SIDE DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON I COULD OF KILLED MYSELF OR CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND SERVICES SAID THAT THEY NEED TO GET THE CAR CHECKED OUT I EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT I DIDN'T CRASH THE CAR I WAS JUST DRIVING BUT I GUESS THEY DON'T BELIEVE ME WHEN THERE'S NO DAMAGES TO THE BODY OF THE CAR. NOW THEY COME BACK AND TELL ME THAT MITSUBISHI IS NOT GOING TO FIX THE DAMAGES AND FOR ME TO CONTACT MY CAR INSURANCE AND MAKE A REPORT SO THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM B/C THE WARRANTY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY NOT GIVING ME A LOANER CAR. I BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER WITH THIS COMPANY MY 1ST CAR WAS A GALANT I THINK THEY SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT I'M LEASING A CAR WITH THIS COMPANY AND HELP ME OUT BY GETTING MY CAR FIX AT NO COST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT LIKE I CAUSE THE DAMAGES IF IT WAS UP TO ME I WOULDN'T EVEN WANT THIS CAR BACK NO MORE B/C I HAVE KIDS AND IS NOT A VERY SAFE RIDE. SO WHAT I'M ASKING HERE IF THAT IF MITSUBISHI WANT TO KEEP ME AS A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND KEEP HAVING ME LEASING CARS FROM THEIR DEALER I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THEY GO OUT THEIR WAY JUST HOW THEY DO WHEN THEY SELLING A CAR AND HELP ME OUT HERE, I'M LOOSING WORK HOURS AND MY KIDS ARE LOOSENED DAYS OF WORK B/C I DON'T HAVE A CAR TO GET BACK AND FOURTH. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEAR FROM YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
