The airbags light came on after I bought the car and I am afraid of I get in an accident they will not deploy my mechanic said I would have to go to a car dealership about it... The brakes also fail if I try to stop abruptly they go to the floor and do not stop the vehicle... The brakes are the worst when I am driving slowly and try to come to a stop. I have taken my car to the dealership and was told that my brakes are in good condition and the mechanic didn't understand why the car was having issues stopping.

My srs light just started coming on a few years ago before we were in an accident. when we took it to the dealer to check it, they said it was a costly repair and IS only to remove the light...but that the airbags would still deploy if we were in an accident. since then, we've been in an accident where we were rear-ended (which would not deploy the airbags) but it pushed us into the car in front of us (which should have deployed the airbags). seeing as this light just came on way before any accidents and could not have been caused by anything we did, I believe it to be faulty from the manufacturer. when googling this issue, I found a lot of people complaining about the same thing happening. yet, mitsubishi has never been pushed to make their seat belt pretensioner flaw into a safety recall and expects to just make money off mitubishi owners coming in to pay to have this fixed.

I purchased a used 2008 mitsubishi lancer with 163K miles on it from a third party. I took it to the dealership for two open recalls. The dealer called me the next morning and explained to me that the subframe IS corroded and will need to be replaced. In fact the dealer advised the vehicle not be driven and the part be replaced immediately because it IS unsafe to drive. Now I have a vehicle I can't drive or sell. The repair itself IS more than the car IS worth. The subframe IS part of the frame and IS not a maintenance item and should last the life of the vehicle. This IS a manufacturing defeat as shown in the recall for canada on 2008-2013 lancer models. I called the factory and was given the run around. I asked for a meeting between the dealership and a factory rep to find an appropriate solution but nothing has materialized. This IS a safety issue and needs to be address by the manufacturer before someone gets injured or killed. There are thousands of lancers on the roads today and I would hate to know how many of these have corroded subframes where the lower front control arms could fall to the ground.

I was driving my car to work this morning and all of a sudden I felt a drastic pull to the left. I get out of the car and look at all sides of the vehicle and don't notice anything right away. Then I notice my left front wheel IS turned slightly while the steering wheel IS straight. I look under the vehicle to find the sub frame rotted and rusted away from the control arm. This IS a huge safety issue as this car has 123K miles and being a 2008 car, just 1 year later than the recalls currently up to 2007 for the same exact issue. The recall should be extended to the 2008 vehicles as well due to the insane amount of complaints on this specific sub frame rotting issue.

During my last two visit with technician (last one with mitsubishi dealer, and one before with other service place), the vehicle technician notice excessively rusted cross-member. The technician at mitsubishi dealer also put the note in "computerized vehicle report". When I asked the technician about how bad IS this and how to fix this, he mentioned that other mitsubishi lancer vehicles are affecting with the same problem and mitsubishi IS recalling vehicles year by year, so hope they will recall this model too. And for safety, I need to make sure to keep eye and need to pay attention to any change to vehicle while driving as this may crack and I am end up in accident. *Tr*jb

Tuesday, 11/27/18, morning my car (100,00 total miles driven) started to make a periodic squeaking noise while driving on the freeway to work. I then took it to an auto repair shop that same morning to have it checked. They said that the problem was coming from my drive belt and pulleys. They referred me to the following link: https://www.cars.com/recalls/mitsubishi-lancer-2008/. according to this website, my car has a recall for the drive belt and pulleys. So I went on mitsubishi's recall website to put in my vid number, but it was showing that my car does not qualify for the recall. So I proceeded to have the auto repair shop repair my car according to the recall instructions shown on the website that he referred me to, which involves replacing the drive belt, pulleys, and drive belt tensioner. it seemed to have fixed the problem, but the next day (11/28) on my back home from work, I started hearing another noise after coming off the freeway. I noticed that my drive belt had been torn. Please refer to the attached picture. so I contacted the auto repair shop to look into it again. They have replaced the drive belt again, but recommended that I try to contact mitsubishi again. according to them, the symptoms match the information in the recall, but again, mitsubishi's website says that my car does not qualify for this recall. prior to this event, I had my drive belt and battery replaced. IS mitsubishi in no way responsible for this? I do not recall receiving a letter back in 2014 about any recall, but I may not be remembering correctly. IS it possible to see the history of recalls that were done on my car? thank you, (xxxx) parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6)
