Lamp sockets for both left and right side brake lights burnt out at 5 years, 2 months with less than 50,000 miles. If one side went out I'd call it a manufacturer defect. Both sides,. . . Seems more like an engineering problem. Only the contact for the brake side of the 2057 lamp was melted and recessed. The tail lamp side of the socket is still clean. Put in a gm replacement socket which looks better made than the oem. Just glad the wife did not get rear-ended. Hung onto the old sockets just in case someone might be interested in looking at them. Lots of tailgaters in my state, so brake lights are important here.

Brake failure when you stop the brakes scrub I have receipts showing that the I have to continue to have the brake inspected and also have to slam very hard when trying to stop the car. The noise when you are stopping the car is very loud and contact the manufacturer and was told nothing they can do due to no warranty. Also, there is no signal indicating when the car needs oil, no check engine comes on, front lights blew a week after buying the car and replace it several times and continue to blow, the same brake light blew again and contact Mitsubishi and ask them about it and they told they will charge me to fix it. When pulling up the brake in the car no light indicating that the brake light is on. My fan for the ac stop working and now when I drive I can hear the ac sounds like it is going to blow when you turn it on.

When applying brakes, the steering shakes. Brake shoes and rotors are worn out at 19,000 miles (very premature); brake light comes on constantly in vehicle - replace w/ brake fluid, wheels screech when making a slow turn - Mitsubishi was contacted and they are giving a hard time about replacing the brakes w/19,000 miles.
