2011 Mitsubishi Outlander sport se I bought the car on March 7, 2022 from cherry hill auto with the owner by name steven. The car was bought under my cousin denise based at that moment I didn't had a temporary permit. The car was parked technically all the time. It was driven just one mile. Oil change was thick and black, electrical issues, car asking for maintenance, then it shows new issues and didn't turn on. I call steven and explain him the issues and he referred me to a shop he said he has more confidence than the Mitsubishi company in cherry hill. The shop is universal auto repair on cherry hill as well. Car it's been almost a month, catalytic converter and oxygen sensor was stolen. The shop told me to call geico and claim the parts which I know isn't right. I pay almost 12k between car, taxes, all charges and a 36 months penn warranty gold plan with a check. Car has a lot of issues. My cousin open a case with geico and I have to pay $250 deductible for something that occur under their responsibility and in their shop. Is very strange steven said he don't trust in Mitsubishi service when car start having problems and referred me to this mechanic and parts was stolen there. My car still in the shop for almost 2 months. I couldn't even do the inspection because have a lot of issues and car don't qualified base on that. I just want my money back. I bought a car about 5 months ago and I never driven it. If I can have any assistance in spanish I'll appreciate it. Thanks.

6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/15/2018

The etacs control has caused my tail lights and tag lights to not work. This is an extreme amount of money to fix. I see there was a recall on the etacs for vehicles made in 2010 and I believe my car should be in this recall but nothing has come up according to the VIN. I cannot get my car inspected and registered due to this etacs failure.
