The Air Bag problem

The airbag on the passenger side won't deploy if its in a accident. The dash pad on the passenger airbag side is elevated and out of its position by around 2-3 inches with the passenger airbag sign on. Surprised to see similar issue by other customers as well here.   Read details...

The Side/window Air Bag problem

Dash pad in vehicle has come apart, completely blocking passenger side airbag. The dash pad is sticking up at least 3 inches in front of airbag. If airbag does deploy ever it will not properly and could cause more harm to passenger and driver. When this first happened my car was only 4 years old.   Read details...

The Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Dash above the passenger side air bag is raised at least 3-5 inches. Not in the groove where it should be. Would think this is a safety hazard as an airbag will not deploy properly if in an accident. Mitsubishi needs to repair this for customers.   Read details...
