general problems of the 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander

The rear subframe is corodedbut no other part is. It is available to see if needed it won’t pass state inspection and it could break while driving.

Back window shattered outward while parked and no one in it.

Recall issued August 2016 for possible corrosion on cross member. Vehicle taken to dealer, inspected, anti rust agent applied to cross member. On subsequent visits to two independent garages for service we were advised of severe corrosion of under carriage, steering parts, and suspension. The first visit was in October 2016, second visit in February, 2017. It is evident the work done by the dealer was unsatisfactory. The cross member and related parts affected by this corrosion need to be replaced. And steering, supension.

Will not come out of park.

Mitsubishi has extended the warranty on this vehicles front coil springs to 120,000 miles or 9 years (whichever comes first). My front coil springs went bad at 120,500 and Mitsubishi refuses to make the necessary repair to their defective parts. The front coil springs, according to Mitsubishi have a "potential" to "corrode from prolonged exposure to anti-freezing agents (such as calcium chloride) used in cold weather areas to clear ice and snow from roadways". I do live in ohio and we have a lot of snow here, but upon searching online I have found that many others who do not live or travel to areas where roads need to be salted (e. G. Texas, florida) have also had the same problem. Also, if alternative front coil springs do not have the potential to corrode under these conditions, should Mitsubishi not be liable for providing customers with these satisfactory parts regardless of mileage? it seems to be universal and it is my belief that Mitsubishi put out a vehicle with a defective part that they are now refusing to recall. Their negligence in this matter is not fair to consumers who pay for quality vehicles with quality parts.

Side view mirrors I am a senior citizen, average height 5'3". I have contacted Mitsubishi motors to complain about the side view mirrors on my car, to which they responded 'the side view mirrors meet u. S. Safety standards'. I have been terribly concerned about my Mitsubishi Outlander's oversized side view mirrors, both on the driver as well as passenger sides. They are not only awkwardly placed, heightwise, but are also hinged in a way that creates huge blind spots on both sides. They obscure my vision, creating blind spots when changing lanes, when making turns, at pedestrian crossings. I have to stop for several minutes to clear both sides, in addition, I have to raise myself in my seat to clear the height of the mirrors. I have had innumerable 'near misses' because they block my view of approaching cars to my right/left. The reason I finally am writing to you is because I almost hit a pedestrian a few weeks ago, due to the mirror blocking my vision of the individual crossing. In addition, they have been knocked off because they extend so far from the mainframe of the car, causing me huge repair costs. I request you advise me how to get Mitsubishi's attention to remedy this huge problem, and how I can pursue this matter so that this design flaw is rectified. I have contacted consumer reports and they provided me names of several agencies that I am contacting as well.
