Safety - transmission: At 9,500 miles my car started lurching when stepping on the gas from a stop. It supposedly was repaired but has continued to be problem and each time I bring it in for service the dealer can not recreate the problem. Since I had not heard that this has been on going problem with this model, I thought it must be something that I had done. Upon reviewing the information of nhsta, I realize that the dealers and Mitsubishi are deliberately hiding this problem. Safety - fuel tank: My fuel tank began leaking at 59,560 miles and when the dealer removed it had 3 stress wholes. The tank had to be sent out for welding. Of course, I had to pay for the repair even though I spoke directly to the Mitsubishi complaint department. Since it was not a recall item, Mitsubishi or the dealer will not pay for the repair. The dangerous fuel leak is another ongoing hidden problem. Alternator pulley: Has been making noise from the beginning and I have complained each service. Now, I discover through NHTSA that alternator pulley is a known design flaw. Mitsubishi and their dealers must be held accountable.
