The vehicle was traveling at 60 mph on the interstate (posted speed limit was 65 in this area) when it was blown by a strong gust of wind across some lose snow/slush. As the vehicle slid, the driver let off the gas and the speed was slowly dropping below 60 mph. The vehicle went off the right-hand shoulder of the interstate into a ditch, where it rolled, landing on the passenger side, roof of, and driver's side of the vehicle, before landing back upright on the wheels and ceasing to roll any further. At no point during the rollover as a result of impact did any of the airbags in the vehicle deploy. There were no passengers in the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle was wearing a seatbelt. The front passenger seat was loaded with luggage heavy enough that the seatbelt light in the vehicle was prompting for the front passenger seatbelt to be used.

I bought the car because of the mileage advertised by mitsubishi, and I rarely get over 30mpg in mixed driving. Vehicle always has synthetic oil changed regularly, and IS well maintained. Was advertised as 39mpg city and 41 highway. *tr

The radio will randomly completely lose all power during cold weather while driving. It shuts down after about ten minutes of driving and stays off for about three to five minutes before powering back up. It only happens in cold weather and after the first few minutes. Since my car IS still under warranty, I took it to the dealer a few months after I purchased the vehicle. They told me they could not recreate the problem at that time and that I should leave my car with them. They said they would not take it apart to try and find the problem because it would take too much time and cost too much money for them. Since it occurs randomly, and I needed my car for work, I could not leave it in hope of it randomly happening for them. Now that its cold again, it started again. It's a new car so this should not be happening.
