1993 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE Complaints

THE AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT QUIT WORKING AND THE CABLE CAME OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTED STICKING HALF WAY IN THE TRACK.*AK

CAR WOULDN'T START. BROKEN FOR 1 1/2 YEARS. DEALER SAID IT IS A SHORT IN THE ECM THROTTLE CONTROL. ALSO SAID ORIGINALLY THAT IT WAS FUEL PUMP. SUPPOSED TO PREFORM RECALL ON SEATBELTS, BUT IT HAD NOT BEEN PREFORMED AFTER 2 WEEKS IN THE SHOP. CAR IS NOW WORKING, BUT ONLY AFTER ECM WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED. SEATBELT STILL NOT WORKING.*AK

SEATBELT WAS FIXED ON RECALL ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. BUT, SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING AGAIN. AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT, WHEN SEAT BELT WENT TO BACK, IT STARTED MAKING CLICKING SOUNDS. BELT DROPPED DOWN OUT OF CEILING. CONTACTED DEALER. DEALER WOULD NOT FIX BECAUSE IT WAS FIXED ON RECALL. *AK

DRIVER'S SIDE GUIDE RAIL REMEDY HAD FAILED AGAIN FOR 3RD TIME. SHOULDER BELT FAILED TO RETRACT TO ORIGINAL POSITION. *AK *SLC

THIS SEATBELT HAS BEEN RECALLED IN 97, WHICH I HAD DONE. NOW OUT OF THE BLUE IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO THE MITSUBISHI HOTLINE AND THEY ARE BOTH SAYING THAT BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY REPLACED THAT MY CASE IS CLOSED AND THEY WON'T GIVE ME A NEW ONE. OTHER THAN THE SEATBELT NOT WORKING, THIS 8 YEAR OLD CAR RUNS FINE, I DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT JUST BECAUSE IT WILL COST MORE THAN HALF THE BOOK VALUE OF THE CAR TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART. CAN YOU HELP ME?*AK
