Failure Date: 07/29/2020

Also the person that did the sunvisor recall repair gave me a dirty and/ or used passenger side sun visor tether strap assembly. I was also charged 130 dollars for a miscellaneous diagnostic which states could not duplicate customers concern at this time and I would like to have that same 130 dollars refunded back to me and the $160 dollars for air conditioning inspection deducted from the costs of repairs. I had previously taken this vehicle totowsontowne garage in towson MD. For service and was informed to have the air conditioning unit serviced by Mitsubishi because he could not locate where the wiring was for or leading to the compressor. Towsontowne garage never mentioned anything about needing a condenser or timing belts on July 22nd 2020.
