| Seats problems |
The driver seatbelt come unattached while driving. The car looses electric system while driving.
Air bag light comes on when drivers seat put back. When seat moved forward air bag light goes off. When air bag light is on system will not work, not safe to drive. Dealership on first repair did wire repair. They claimed when seat was put back it stretched harness turning on air bag light. Did repair under warranty. Second time they replaced harness due to same problem per service advisor. Second repair was not warranty due to being over on mileage. Vehicle is a 2018 with 31754 miles.
The power electric drive seat becomes loose with time. Very dangerous while braking cause the drive seat moves forward fast, driver feels disoriented to extent feeling unstable and could lead to not appropriately having control over vehicle during brake events. This could lead to hitting front vehicle.
The drivers seat is loose and wobbles. The seat is loose and wobbles both when the vehicle is in motion and when the vehicle is stationary. I took the brand new vehicle to the dealership and they said that they were told by Mitsubishi not to fix at this time. They are aware of this and are looking for a way to fix it.
The driver's side seat rocks back and forth when I accelerate and brake. This became evident days after I purchased the vehicle. The dealer tried to fix the issue but they damaged the vehicle even more.
