2 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 12/22/2014

Dear administrator: there has been no accident. . . . I am following instruction from letter. I recently received a letter notifying me of a safety recall regarding the passenger air bag inflator housing for 2004-2005 Mitsubishi Lancer vehicles. I currently still own a 2004 Lancer Mitsubishi and I am extremely concerned for the safety of any front seat occupants. Therefore, I immediately responded to the letter from Mitsubishi and followed your instructions. Unfortunately, the response that I received was shocking and quite frankly, ridiculous! I was informed that I would be responsible to pay to ship my car from maui to honolulu in order to get my car repaired! the notification letter clearly states under the reason for notice that the safety recalls are in the areas of hawaii, florida, puerto rico, and the us virgin islands. Mitsubishi should assume that “special arrangements” would have to be offered to service and repair in order to meet the requirements of the national traffic and motor vehicle safety act. If you recognized that this recall affects island customers why are you penalizing them for your manufacturing mistake, forcing them to ship their cars inter-island for repair? I am asking that Mitsubishi please assume their responsibility and comply with the national traffic and motor vehicle safety act and pay for the shipping of my car from maui to honolulu to have my car repaired. At a minimum allow a certified Mitsubishi motor dealer or certified mechanic in maui to make the necessary repair. Please keep this letter in your archives as my attempt to find a solution to get my car repaired to avoid injury or any life changing events as a result of negligence on your behalf. Best regards ayla bade.
