The saga continues with this particular vehicle, which Goose Creek Mitsubishi failed to disclose had experienced prior accidents, major parts damages, repairs, & replacements. So much so, the frame & body works of the entire vehicle have been quite compromised. The most recent sign of their attempted repairs & replacements, due to undisclosed front & side impact damages, is the entire front bumper, which became fully detached, while in transit. On the way, to & from my wife's surgery, we passed through some uneven pavement sections, along a construction zone, between Barnwell, SC & Aiken, SC, on August 11. As we reached my son's school & entered the parking lot, I began to hear sounds from the front end of the vehicle. By the time we pulled into a parking spot, all but one corner of the bumper had become detached & was lying on the ground. I didn't have the resources, on hand, to properly address the collapsed bumper. Thankfully, my own father came to our rescue. We used bungee cords, straps, & zip ties, in order to secure the front bumper in place. Due to the bumper being offset & the cords/strap crossing over the top edges of the bumper assembly & engine frame, I've been unable to fully secure the hood. The vehicle has been rendered unsafe for highway driving. My mechanic & I have addressed that very bumper, through previous communications, directly to the dealership, through a prior BBB complaint process, & a currently open, SC Consumer Affairs complaint. It's obviously a replacement bumper, attached to a compromised frame. We have shared photos, which revealed breakage & separation, beneath the hood lid, at the very top edges, where the front bumper attachments meet up with the engine frame.There's visible breakage, along the seam of that top edge & at the adjacent passenger side corner. The vehicle was sold to me, in disrepair, & has quickly fallen into further disrepair. Therefore, I've been forced to park the car & wait for proper resolution. Thank You

Glass between windshield and sunroof spontaneously shattered while parked in private driveway. There was no impact, the car had not been driven for two days, it was just parked and the glass busted. It is unknown if water will cause a problem with leaking into the cabin of the vehicle.

My coworker and myself we on the highway, we heard a loud boom and the door swung open. I called the dealership Freddy Kia on the gulf frwy. They said they could not do anything about it, I have to call the service department. I called told the girl what happened she put me on hold after 1hr I hung up. I called again she put me on hold again. I didn-??t call back. I need this checked out what can I do? What if I had my grand child in the back and that door did the same. I have not even made a first payment on this vehicle. Can I return the vehicle I do not feel safe in it.
