I WAS BLOWN OFF BY MITSHUBISHI WHEN I COMPLAINED. THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS MY ISSUE TO DUE I LIVED IN MAINE. SERIOUSLY, THIS TRUCK WAS TAKEN CARE OF AND I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER, AND IT'S A 2006 AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW MARCH OF 2007 MAKE IT 5 YEARS OLD! ALSO THE BRAKES NEVER HOLD ON IT, I HAVE JUST HAD ALL OF THE PADS REPLACED AGAIN, ROTORS, BALL JOINTS, CONTROL ARMS, THE TRUCK STILL WONT STOP AND SWAYS AND DRIFTS AROUND CORNERS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. AND THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FRONT END OF THIS TRUCK. *TR

1.THE CAR STOP ENGINE SUDDENLY ON THE FREEWAY 5 SOUTH NEAR CULVER EXIT. 2. IT STOPPED GARDEN GROVE BLVD AND ECULID ST IN GARDEN GROVE CITY CA ABOUT FEW MONTH LATER WHEN I TRIED TO MAKE LEFT TURN, THE ENGINE STOPPED. 3. IT STOP AGAIN ON 22 FWY . 4. ONE MORE STOPPED NEAR 55 FWY AND DYER AVE, ENGINE TOTALLY STOPPED, BUT I COULD START AND DRIVE AFTER THESE INCIDENTS. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE IGNITION BLOCKED TURN THE ENGINE START. THE KEY DOESN'T MOVE SO FREQUENTLY. MY CAR MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 50,000 MILES. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? I PURCHASED THIS USED CAR FROM UNION AUTO IN GARDEN GROVE THE MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 16,000 MILE. *TR

GOT TRUCK MAY 2007 FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WITH 15K MILES AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A DAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER PAPERS WERE SIGNED, I STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE ENGINE RAN FINE. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. THE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP SAID IT MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE GAS CAP BEING LOOSENED BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY FILLED THE GAS TANK AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 35-40 MPH AND IMMEDIATELY RAN WITH A ROUGH IDLE AND BUCKED WHEN ACCELERATING. THE FOLLOWING MORNING WITH LIGHT STILL ON, BUT NO ROUGH IDLE OR BUCKING, MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP TESTS DETERMINED IT WAS THE #2 SPARK PLUG, WHICH THEY CORRECTED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON & ENGINE RAN FINE. THIS HAPPENED 3 OR 4 TIMES A YEAR THROUGH 2009. I NOTICED THAT IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF AND NO LONGER FUNCTION. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING IT, IT NO LONGER HAD ROUGH IDLE OR BUCKED ON ACCELERATION; HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WOULD STILL NOT COME ON OR FUNCTION UNTIL A DAY OF TWO LATER WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, 2 TO 5 MINUTES AFTER STARTING ENGINE IN AM & WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 35-40 MPH, ENGINE KILLED & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. ENGINE RESTARTED WITH ROUGH IDLE, BUCKING WITH ACCELERATION & THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT FUNCTION. TWO WEEKS AGO, WHILE SIGNALING A LEFT TURN, THE DASH BLINKING LIGHTS BEGAN BLINKING ON THE RIGHT & THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, ENGINE KILLED, ETC. JUST HAPPENED AGAIN. GETTING DANGEROUS... HELP!

2006 MITSUBISHI RAIDER @ 42,000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH NO SOLUTIONS. FIRST I HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, LIGHTS AND DASH CUTTING OFF, NO SPEEDOMETER, RADIO WOULD CUT OFF. ONCE IT WOULDN'T CRANK, I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY SAID I WAS MISSING A FUSE, APPARENTLY IT FELL OUT WHILE IN ROUTE TO DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE I CHECKED ALL OF THEM BEFORE I CALLED TOW TRUCK, CHECKED WITH TEST LIGHT, ALL WERE WORKING, ALL WERE IN PLACE.......50.00 FOR THE TOW, 40.00+ TO REPLACE A FUSE. CONSTANTLY USES BRAKE FLUID.....TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS LOW ON BRAKE FLUID.....PROBABLY BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING ALL OVER THE DRUM, DEALER DID NOT FIX. HAD SOME KIND OF ECU REPLACED FOR ELECTRONICS, STILL DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM. TRUCKS REAR BRAKES BEGAN TO DRAG AND LOCK UP. CALLED DEALER, THEY SAID MY SERIES OF VIN NUMBERS WASN'T INCLUDED IN THERE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DOING THE SAME AS THE SO CALLED RECALLED VEHICLES. EVENTUALLY I GUESS IT BROKE, BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN DRAGGING THE BRAKES, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A LARGE BRAKE FLUID LEAK ON DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE, AND NOW MY REAR END(HOG HEAD)(GEARCASE) IS LEAKING GEAR OIL. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS TO MITSUBISHI'S MISTAKES UNLESS THEY ARE RESOLVED FROM MY WALLET. I GUESS THEY ARE ONLY LIABLE IF MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.......TOYOTA STOOD UP AND FIXED THEIR PROBLEM.......HOW COME MITSUBISHI CANT? THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED BY DEALERS AND THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT........OR LACK OF SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE HAD VERBAL CONFRONTATIONS WITH ALL SERVICE MANAGERS, EVEN CONTACTED MITSUBISHI MAIN OFFICE, STILL AT NO PREVAIL.......SO I GUESS I WILL DRIVE IT TO THE WHEELS FALL OFF, SHOULDN'T BE MUCH LONGER, REAR END IS LEAKING FAIRLY BAD NOW. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED, EVEN THOUGH THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR MISTAKES..... *TR
