Wiper problem #1

The contact owns a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer. The contact stated that he was unable to use the defroster, which prevented him from seeing out the window. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to auto gallery Mitsubishi-corona (located at 2550 wardlow rd, corona, CA 92882, (951) 372-0008) where it was diagnosed that the temperature control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 143,000.

Wiper problem #2

We received a recall notice for our 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer. We no longer have the original warranty that came with this car at the time of purchase. I have talked to Mitsubishi recall center about this very dangerous airbag that has already killed 23 people: unfortunately, there is not a dealership where I live, so according to the mitchubuhisi case worker one of us would have to drive to the dealership in orland which is approximately 5 hours away/ this car has 130,000 miles on it and can hear a tapping noise when first starting. Because of this noise, my husband feels this car may break down on the way to this dealership. My husband also has a hard time getting time off, "due to the nature of his job," and I have anxiety and am afraid to drive this car. I also have a hard time driving long distances due to a torn meniscus that I had surgery for in February of 2017. Unfortunately, I am still having problems with this knee and am currently still on disability from this injury. This I have related to the Mitsubishi case manager who was assigned to us. She said that all she can do for us is give us $100. 00 for the cost of gas and she did not offer any other solutions, even after I explained the above to her. Are we really stuck with this offer? can you help us with this? does. I can't believe that they can get away with making people take a risk to fix. They are playing russian roulette with our lives. Sincerely,.
