| Air Bag Light On problems |
The contact owns a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer. The contact stated that after another vehicle crashed into the rear, the contact¿s vehicle crashed into a pole and the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed and two people were injured. The injuries consisted of a head, neck, shoulder and knee damage to both persons. The vehicle was classified as destroyed by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 22,000.
My Lancer 2010 has only 30,400 original miles, the passenger air bag light is on, the anti lock brake light is on, stability control disabled by the anti lock light on, sometimes the light goes off and turns on when turning sharp right, and sometimes the light comes on with the vehicle not moving. Took the car to a dealer, they said the anti lock brake pump is defective and said it costs $1,800 to replace and said the air bag problem is no longer under warranty in puerto rico all Lancer owners that I know have front wheel sensors issues also. The dealer took care of 3 recalls, 1. Eng belts and tensioner, 2. Etacs ecu, 3. Interior blower motor and I never received any recall notices. I have read a lot about these defects and many say that the passenger seat belt and air bag will turn the anti lock brake light on if there is a defect present. And many say that Mitsubishi refuses to admit there is a problem with all these issues.
