For over a year now water has been leaking onto my driver side floor from the a/c. I've had it looked at by a mechanic due to there not being a dealership w/n over 100 mile radius of me and it IS a design flaw and not a warranty issue. I've checked several tsb and online mitsubishi forums and they all state the same thing. There don't appear to be any resolving solutions to this issue either short of ripping apart my vehicle to possibly solve the problem and reinstall tubing that should have been used in the first place. Developing health complications and mold exposure due to a design flaw IS not something I'm trying to risk. Nothing happened to my vehicle...there was no damage or anything of the sort. All a sudden water started pooling on the driver side when ever the a/c would run.
- Structure › Body
My door handles on the driver side and the back seat passager on the driver side door handles just broke off. My car IS kept in a garage and when I went to the door to open both doors the handles just broke off. Just recently I saw the same make and model as my car and both handles were broke also. I asked the driver and stated that the door handles just broke off.

In october 2010, I backed out of my driveway and heard a loud noise (i was worried I had hit something). I looked around and noticed that the passenger side rear window was down and I did not put it down. When I tried to put it back up, it didn't move. I contacted my local mitsubishi dealer and they advised that the window regulator needed to be replaced. Luckily, I was still under warranty. Now, less than a year later, I was driving down a busy highway, and heard that same loud noise. Once again, I thought I had hit something or something had hit me. I pulled off to the side of the road to discover that my driver side rear window was down. I visited my local mitsubishi dealer and was told that the window regulator needed to be replaced. However, I am now out of warranty and am being told it will be $250 (before taxes and fees) to have this part replaced. I do understand that parts wear out and need replacing but I find it funny that both sides went out within one year of each other. I also don't think it's safe to have my children in the back where the windows seem to fall down at any given moment. I would like to know if anyone else IS having this problem and to find out if there IS any recall in the works. Thank you. *tr

The subject vehicle ignition-park interlock and shift lock (brake-shift interlock) systems are mechanically actuated.the systems utilize two cable assemblies that connect to a plastic housing mounted to the shift lever mechanism.within the housing IS a lever (interlock lever) that the ignition-park interlock cable connects to.when the interlock lever IS positioned in its rearward travel range, the ignition key removal IS prevented; when the lever IS positioned in its forward position, key removal IS allowed.according to mitsubishi, the ignition key interlock cable may allow the interlock lever to fall forward during vehicle use.in this state the ignition key can be removed from the ignition switch when the gearshift mechanism IS not in the park position.if the driver does not shift to park before removing the key and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.most of the reported crash incidents were minor in nature involving unoccupied vehicles rolling from a parked condition and striking other vehicles or objects.the single injury incident occurred when the operator parked the vehicle, exited, and was subsequently struck by the vehicle as it rolled away.the type and severity of the injuries were not described.in a letter dated march 21, 2008, mitsubishi advised nhtsa that it will conduct a safety recall to address this condition (see www.safercar.gov, recall action 08v-139 for further details); remedy details and timing are to be determined.accordingly the investigation IS closed.
