The contact owns a 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. Both front headlight in the vehicle are cracked which allows water to go inside. Due to this, the vehicle will not pass inspection. She did research on this defect and found numerous complaints on this problem. She also found a TSB on this problem and she spoke with the manufacture, they stated it was not a recall because it does not appear to be a safety concern. She believes this should be recalled and that the manufacture should be responsible for the repairs. The failure mileage was 35,000. The current mileage is 68,000.

I bought my 2003 mitsibushi Outlander in January 2005 with 32,000 miles on it. The headlights were showing some stress cracks from the headlamp heat. I now have 69,000 miles on the car and the headlights have sever stress cracks in the lenses that are extremely noticeable. I have heard this is a common problem for these cars.
