2007 Mitsubishi Outlander

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V458000 (SUSPENSION). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE DATED AUGUST 2016. HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED BY OUR PERSONAL MECHANIC AND TOLD IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE (WE ARE IN A "COLD WEATHER STATE", NAMELY, WE ARE IN CHICAGO, IL). STILL NO NOTICE FROM MITSUBISHI THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE SINCE MID-AUGUST. CALLED MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER SERVICE SEPT. 30 AND WAS TOLD THAT PARTS ARE STILL NOT WIDELY AVAILABLE. CALLED NEAREST MITSUBISHI DEALER AND SOONEST APPOINTMENT I COULD GET IS OCTOBER 31! AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE BY THEN!! THE LETTER SAYS THAT, "MMNA IS MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO OBTAIN THESE PARTS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, AND WILL CONTACT YOU AGAIN BY MAIL WITH A FOLLOW-UP RECALL NOTICE WHEN REMEDY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE." IT'S ALREADY BEEN MORE THAN A MONTH SINCE WE RECEIVED THE INITIAL NOTICE, HAD OUR CAR INSPECTED BY OUR MECHANIC AND TOLD THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WE HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER MONTH BEFORE THE DEALER WILL EVEN ALLOW US TO BRING THE CAR IN. TODAY (SEPT. 30) THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY'VE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETED 6 OR 7 REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET PARTS. AS A CONSUMER, IT APPEARS THAT MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA ISN'T DOING ENOUGH TO REMEDY THIS RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. WITH A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN LIKE THE POSSIBILITY OF "LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A POTENTIAL COLLISION" THAT COULD RESULT IN NOT ONLY SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH TO THE PASSENGERS IN THE MITSUBISHI, BUT TO OTHER DRIVERS AND/OR PEDESTRIANS, I WOULD THINK THAT MMNA WOULD BE DOING EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO MAKE THESE REPLACEMENTN PARTS AVAILABLE.

I WAS LEAVING WORK AND ABOUT TO GET ONTO THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JERKED AND SWERVED OFF THE ROAD. I HAD IT TOWED TO A NEARBY MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE SEEN. THE FRONT CONTROL ARM WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND SNAPPED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON MY SAME EXACT CAR, YEAR AND EVERYTHING BUT MITSUBISHI SAID NO RECALL ON MY VIN #. WHICH MAKES NO SENSE TO ME CAUSE IT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE ONES WITH A RECALL. THE MECHANIC SAID I WAS LUCKY TO NOT BE ON THE FREEWAY YET WHEN THIS HAPPENED CAUSE I COULD BE DEAD. MITSUBISHI IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND I JUST FORKED OUT $1500.00 TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I AM CONTACTING THE LOCAL NEWS TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE AWARE OF THIS RUST PROBLEM.
