Mitsubishi MITSUBISHI 1989 (89)

Component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING : ENGINE

Complaint Date (Y/M):2001/01 ------ Miles: 0

VIN No: JA4GJ41S4KJ018608
City/State: SPARKS,NV

Defect/Problem: WHILE DEPARTING YAKIMA, WA IN THE AFTERNOON, I HEARD A LOUD "BOOM" AND THE SOUND OF METAL HITTING THE PAVEMENT. I WAS ON A MAIN HIGHWAY. INSTANTLY, I LOST POWER STEERING AND HAD TO PUT BOTH HANDS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROAD. I WALKED BACK TO LOOK FOR ANY METAL ON THE ROADWAY; SAW NONE. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, I SAW THE PULLEY HANGING DOWN AT AN ANGLE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CRANKCASE; THE BELT WAS STILL LOOPED AROUND IT. ON CLOSER INSPECTION, I DISCOVERED THE PULLEY HAD BROKEN AWAY FROM THE CRANKCASE CENTER BOLT. I MANAGED TO DRIVE THE MONTERO 35 MILES BACK TO YAKIMA. I WAS USING STRICTLY BATTERY POWER; THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING BECAUSE THE BELT WAS LOOSE. ON MONDAY MORNING, NOV. 7, 2000, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TWO MILES TO CAREY MOTORS IN YAKIMA (TEL. 1-800-967-8242/509-457-3133). THE SERVICE MANAGER IS TOM SMYER. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT CENTER BOLT HAD CORRODED WITHIN THE CRANKSHAFT AND BROKE OFF. TOM SAID HE HAD ANOTHER MONTERO PREVIOUSLY IN HIS SHOP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SPENT FIVE HOURS TRYING TO REMOVE THE PIECE OF THE BOLT STILL IN THE CRANKSHAFT WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE RESULT: THE CRANKSHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED. WITH ALL OF THE LABOR AND SUPPORTING HARDWARE, IT COST ME $3,500. DURING THE REPAIR, THEY DISCOVERED A BROKEN ENGINE MOUNT ALSO. THEY REPAIR IT. TOM SAID THE REGIONAL MITSUBISHI DISTRICT PARTS AND SERVICE MANAGER, CRISTO NICOLAIDIS, TOLD HIM THAT MITSUBISHI WAS CONTEMPLATING A RECALL ON MONTEROS BECAUSE OF THE CRANKSHAFT BOLT PROBLEM AND THAT IF IT HAPPENED, THE 1989 MODELS WOULD "PROBABLY" BE INCLUDED AND I WOULD BE REIMBURSED THE REPAIR COSTS ON MY VEHICLE. WHEN I ARRIVED BACK IN SPARKS, NV, WHERE I RESIDE, I FILED A REPORT WITH MITSUBISHI'S REGIONAL OFFICE IN SOUTHERN CALIF. I BELIEVE THAT IF A SMALL PERSON DRIVING A MONTERO EXPERIENCES THIS CRANKSHAFT BOLT FAILURE, ESPECIALLY ON AN ICY ROAD, COULD RESULT IN COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL.

Defect/Problem: THE PAINT ON MY NEW VEHICLE BEGAN PEELING OFF THE HOOD IN QUARTER-SIZED CHUNKS AS I WAS WASHING IT BY HAND. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER INITIALLY ATTEMPTED TO DENY RESPONSIBILITY, THEY RELUCTANTLY AGREED TO REPAINT HOOD, ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE WAS AN "ADHERENCE ISSUE." I DISCOVERED THROUGH A SOURCE IN THE MITSUBISHI FACTORY THAT THERE WAS A "LOT" OF CARS THAT THEY FAILED TO PLACE AN E-SEAL ON PRIOR PAINTING. WHEN MY VIN WAS CHECKED, MY SOURCE DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS ONE OF THE VEHICLES IN THAT "LOT." I WAS TOLD TO EXPECT FURTHER PAINT ISSUES WITH THE DOORS IN THE NEAR FUTURE BY THIS SOURCE. THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME PRIOR TO PURCHASE OR WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR. IN FACT, IT WAS ONLY MY PERSISTENCE THAT RESULTED IN MY VEHICLE'S HOOD BEING REPAINTED. THE VEHICLES IN THE LOT SHOULD BE RECALLED ! I PAID OVER $31,000.00 FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT DEFECTIVE AND/OR SHODDY PAINTING AT THE FACTORY. PLEASE HELP ME FIND THIS INTERNAL MEMORANDA THAT GOVERNS MY VEHICLE SO I CAN FURTHER PURSUE THIS ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURER. OR, IF YOU CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE IN RECTIFYING THIS COVER-UP., I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL. MY DREAM CAR HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT.

I WAS HIT IN THE HEAD BY THE SEAT BELT GUIDE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER (RIGHT) SEAT OF A 2002 MITSUBISHI SPYDER CONVERTIBLE. THE SEAT HIT ME WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE CAUSING A MILD CONCUSSION. I DID NOT BLACK OUT AT THE TIME OF THE INJURY. HOWEVER, I EXPERIENCED BLURRED VISION (WHICH CONTINUED FOR A FEW DAYS), NECK PAIN, BACK PAIN AND SEVERE HEAD PAIN. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE ACCIDENT I STARTED HAVING "SPELLS" AS MY NEUROLOGIST CALLS THEM. I WAS GIVEN A PRESCRIPTION FOR ANTI-SEIZURE MEDICATIONS. MY NEUROLOGIST RESTRICTED ME FROM DRIVING FOR 5 MONTHS. ANYWAY, MY CONCERN IS IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO AN EMPLOYEE WHO WORKS IN THE PLANT, IT CAN HAPPEN TO A CONSUMER. AND IF ONE OF THESE SEATS WERE TO HIT A CHILD WITH THE FORCE IT HIT ME IT COULD BE FATAL. I CAN'T IDENTIFY THE EXACT VEHICLE THAT CAUSED MY INJURY. I CAN TELL YOU THE DATE AND THE APPROXIMATE TIME. IF YOU FEEL THIS IS WORTH INVESTIGATING PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.*AK
