2011 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Complaints

THE ETACS CONTROL HAS CAUSED MY TAIL LIGHTS AND TAG LIGHTS TO NOT WORK. THIS IS AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ETACS FOR VEHICLES MADE IN 2010 AND I BELIEVE MY CAR SHOULD BE IN THIS RECALL BUT NOTHING HAS COME UP ACCORDING TO THE VIN. I CANNOT GET MY CAR INSPECTED AND REGISTERED DUE TO THIS ETACS FAILURE.

I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM WORK AND WAS AT A STOP SIGN WAITING TO TURN LEFT. CROSS TRAFFIC DOES NOT STOP. WHEN BELIEVING I WAS CLEAR I BEGAN MY LEFT TURN WHEN A CAR CROSSED IN FRONT OF MINE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I ATTEMPTED TO STOP BUT THE TWO CARS COLLIDED AND THE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY TORN OFF AND MY FRONT HOOD WAS BUCKLED BACK TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN EMERGENCY RESPONSE ARRIVED, THEY FELT VERY STRONGLY THAT THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AND THEY MOVED ME TO THE BACK SEAT FOR FURTHER OBSERVATION BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID THE AIR BAG MAY STILL DEPLOY AND CAUSE FURTHER INJURY. I WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSPORTED TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR EVALUATION AND AFTER TESTING AND OBSERVATION WAS RELEASED WITH MODERATE BACK PAIN AND MILD TO MODERATE NECK PAIN.
