Carrier/rack Problems of Mitsubishi Outlander

On two separate occasions, I have had the front driver's door window glass and the front passenger door window glass crack on interstate 40. This has been while exiting the bridge eastbound at the exit for interstate 74 to high point. There is an odd bump exiting the bridge in the lefthand lane. In both instances, the glass has had to be replaced. Safelite auto glass has stated that the glass appears to be inferior in nature and should not crack. The vehicle has less than 5,000 miles on it so doesn't have any unnecessary wear and tear.

The front crossmember was a recall that I had done, this past weekend I had my tires changed and the shop showed me that my rear crossmember is cracked. The crack is along the factory welding. This is the same issue as I had with the front crossmember. It causes major safety issues and I believe that it should be a recall as it is cracked along the factory weld which should hold better than it is. The rear crossmember should be as with the back. . . Recalled.

Glass spontaneously crumbled and shattered on rear passenger door. The vehicle was parked at home in my driveway. We were getting into the vehicle as usual in the morning to leave for the day. The door was not slammed, there were no visible cracks, scratches, or chips on the glass. No visible damage to the vehicle or blunt objects in the area that would indicate foul play. We could not find anything that would explain such a random breaking of the glass. My daughter sustained minor cuts on her leg from the glass falling into the rear passenger seat. First aid was given, but no immediate medical attention was necessary.

Paint on hood started to chip around 48,000 miles. Each time I apply touch paint, the paint start to crack in the same area over from the touch up. The shiny gloss is still there is just the paint began to chip off. I have 60,000 miles on the car now and 2 new chips appear on the hood.

While in motion, an anchoring screw hold the passenger side visor to the roof panel fell out into my lap. As the passenger at the tie, I checked the visor, noticing the screw fell from above and noticed the second of the two anchoring scress was near falling out, also. Previously, a similar screw had been found on the driver's side floor area, but the location it came from was not apparent as the visor mount from which it fell was hidden by the position of the driver side visor. Checking the driver side visor, I noticed the second and last anchor screw was also very loose and mostly out of the tightening position it should have been in. I envision that in a circumstance where an average driver did not notice the anchor screws were loose from the visor mount overhead, the visor could fall onto the steering wheel of the vehicle possibly causing inability to steer the vehicle or surprising the drive enough to cause loss of control of the vehicle. It appears the torque on the screws was incorrect to keep them secured, or the thread of the screw is not correct to hold them tight into the visor mounts, allowing vibrations during normal driving use to allow the screws to become loose and eventually fall out of the visor mount bracket altogether. I reseated the screws using a silicone based gasket sealer to prevent the screws from vibrating out of the bracket mounts. However, I can envision the situation to be one that could contribute to a crash.

I purchased my 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander in February, 2013 with 104,000 miles on it. At first everything seemed fine, but after 2 weeks the back end of the car on the passenger side squeaks and makes lots of noise. At first it would only do it a little but it got worse and worse within a couple weeks it constantly makes noise, which is very annoying. I think the dealership must have done a quick cheap fix on it so when I test drove it, it would not do it until it was purchased. I also have water seeping in in the floor next to the door on the driver side and water coming through the dash area on the passenger side when it rains or in a car wash. I read online that that can cause electrical problems which worry's me. My head lights also have cracks and fogged up and makes it hard to see at night, which I've seen to be a common problem with this car. I don't understand why this car was never recalled for all the problems it has, this is ridiculous!.
