I am having electrical issues that I thought were just in my steering column but now I am finding other issues throughout the vehicle. 1.) the steering wheel volume control either does not work or increases when the decrease button is pushed. 2.) the stick control for signaling will not lock the high beams on so if you need the extra light you would have to hold the stick back manually. 3.) the interior dome light will not always turn on/shut off.

First, only a few weeks after purchasing this vehicle new, the fuse blew on the aux / cig lighter. Approx. One year after purchase, I had to take it in, because all the lights and gauges would start flashing and the radio would go off. The vehicle continued running, but it was scary. Additionally, the door sometimes would not open from the outside with the fob. The dealer corrected this problem. Since then, starting in June of 2013, or earlier, while driving at night, the lights frequently dim and get brighter, especially if the A/C is on. I also had to replace my battery in November, 2013; it was less than 3 yrs old. They told me then (back in November) they were ordering a new alternator for me (covered under warranty). It is now the end of March and when I called my local Mitsubishi dealer again, and they told me there is a 1,000 unit back order on the alternators on these vehicles, and the new, I am guessing redesigned unit, would not be out until the beginning of May. My electrical problems are getting worse... now when I plug in my iphone via the aux / cig lighter, sometime it won't charge, other times, it blows the plug and sometimes the usb cord. I frequently have to buy new chargers because they keep blowing! help! I?M sure there are others having this problem. There should really be recall on this vehicle!
