I bought this car used and found out the 2010-02-25 United States FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP is and was in a safety recall when i pump gas the filler tube leaks gas onto the ground so i called a dealership here in Iowa and was told there is no recalls on this vehicle so i sent them the documentation from Mitsubishi was told after they looked it up its already been fixed so they will not do the recall work again was also told once a vehicle is to old they don't have to recall work that is not true if its on the road and licensed they have to do the work.

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, MOISTURE APPEARS ON ALL FOUR CALIPERS. RUST ON ALL CALIPERS. RESIDUE ON MASTER CYLINDER AS WELL. REFILLED BRAKE FLUID UNDER HOOD TWICE. STRONG BURNING BRAKE FLUID SMELL WHEN DRIVING. NEW VEHICLE WITH 4K MILES. CAR TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER, EUGENE OR MITSUBISHI. SERVICE DEPT LOOKED AT BRAKES AND RAN TESTS. SERVICE MANAGER, SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE MOISTURE IS COMING FROM AND CAN'T FIND SOURCE OF LEAK. ALTHOUGH PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES ARE DANGEROUS, AND THERE IS EVIDENCE OF A SERIOUS PROBLEM, DISTRICT REP WILL NOT AUTHORIZE SERVICE DONE TO BRAKES BECAUSE SOURCE WAS NOT PIN POINTED. I CALLED CORPORATE AND OPENED A CASE BUT THEY WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY. I NEED SERVICE DONE. I CAN'T TAKE IT ELSEWHERE BECAUSE IT WILL VOID WARRANTY. LEAKING BRAKE FLUID IS DANGEROUS. NO BRAKE FLUID MEANS NO STOPPING. RUSTED CALIPERS CAN SEIZE UP WHICH IS ALSO DANGEROUS. BRAKE PADS SOAKED WITH BRAKE FLUID WON'T WORK. SHOULD NOT BE HAVING BRAKE ISSUES ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I JUST WANT MITSUBISHI TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY, REPLACE THE RUSTED PARTS, FIND THE LEAKING PARTS, REPLACE THE LEAKING PARTS, AND FLUSH THE BRAKE FLUID.

Is 11 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2010 and 2026, roughly 1 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
