I was driving at 33 mph on a main street when car on my right goes through stop sign and drives into my car. He hit the front of my car near, but not including, the passenger door. After impact (he never braked) he continued to move my car with his thereby folding the front of my car in half, taking off front wheels, fenders and bumper, gas tank (smoking but not on fire), and moving my car two lanes to the left via impact and push. No air bags deployed. Driver's door, mine, would not open. Seat belt pulled in very tight. Impact slammed my chest, knee and ankle. Fractured sternum, cuts and bruises on leg and foot. Back pain at site of crash. Could not walk up ambulance steps. Hospital stay 2 days with multiple tests. Drs. Visits required this week, one day after release. Car totalled. Physical therapy and pain management put into place upon hospital discharge.
Faded paint noticed on left side of hood about a month and half ago, looked like oxidation, a couple weeks later another spot on the right side of hood appeared, both spots appear to be getting larger (about the size of a dessert plate) and more pronounced. Dealership says no defect and not under warranty, according to many website there is a huge issue with the black Mitsubishi cars and the clearcoat failing, causing chipping, paint wear, and oxidation to spread throughout the entire car.
