2006 Mitsubishi Raider problems

“Hi- We have been trying to get our Mitsubishi Raider 2006 recall for an exploding sharp metal pieces that can cause death fixed with zero help. We have been without a car for over one year due to being ignored by Mitsubishi Corporate and our closest Mitsubishi Cutter Dealership. We live on an island in Hawaii that does not have a dealership so car must be shipped to Oahu to be repaired. Talked to manager at Cutter Mitsubishi many times and she said it’s Mitsubishis problem to figure out. Mitsubishi Corporate has been contacted at least 4 times with nobody contacting me back. Case worker [XXX] has completely ignored my case. Called recall number and have filed 5 cases now with no response. I will have to file a lawsuit to get help. Can someone please call [XXX] @ [XXX]”

“The contact owns a 2006 Mitsubishi Raider. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds through a residential area, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power, prompting the contact to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway at the end of a cul-de-sac and shift the vehicle into park. Upon attempting to exit the cul-de-sac the contact stated that the vehicle failed to shift into reverse, after which the contact shifted the vehicle back into drive. Immediately upon shifting back into drive the vehicle aggressively accelerated independently, causing a brief loss of control of the vehicle. The contact was able to regain control of the vehicle brought the vehicle to a complete stop and switched the vehicle off; deciding then to discontinue driving the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not towed to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 147,000.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MITSUBISHI RAIDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V795000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 15V313000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.”

“FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD RUST ISSUES, THE WHOLE THING IS RUSTING THROUGH. UNDERNEATH, BUMPER, TOW HOOKS, THE PARTS UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. 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”

“EVERY TIME I APPLY THE BRAKES IT MAKES A RAPIDLY PULSATING SENSATION LIKE THE ABS IS ENGAGING, EVEN WHEN I'M GOING AT A SLOW SPEED OR WHEN I'M NOT MAKING A RAPID STOP, HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO HUNTINGTON BEACH MITSUBISHI 2/23/09 - THEY ORDERED REAR BRAKE SHOES, 03/05/09 - REPLACED REAR BRAKE SHOES AND MACHINED FRONT ROTORS PER TSB, 06/30/09 - ADVISE TURN DRUMS, 10/20/09 - ORDER FRONT ROTORS (FOR WHICH THEY MADE ME PAY, APPLIED STOP SQUEAK, 10/22/09 - BRAKE JOB FRONT END, REPLACED PADS AND APPLIED STOP SQUEAK (I PAID FOR PADS AND STOP SQUEAK) 05/05/10 SAME PROBLEM THEY TOLD ME THEY'RE WAITING ON DPSM, AND NOW THEY WANT ME TO COME IN MONDAY 7/24/10 FOR ANOTHER BRAKE JOB, EVEN THOUGH I'VE SAID THAT IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HOW MANY TIMES CAN THE ROTORS BE TURNED BEFORE I HAVE TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. I DID NOT ASK FOR THE OLD PARTS. THEY HAVE NEVER ADDRESSED THE ABS, EVEN WHEN I SHOWED THEM A COPY OF RECALL NOTICE ON THE ABS #06V038000 I BOUGHT THIS RAIDER PICKUP NEW IN 2006 TO LAST ME FOR MY OLD AGE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP GETTING A NEW BRAKE JOB EVERY 6,000 MILES. *TR”
