What 1999 Mitsubishi Diamante owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I own a mitsubishi diamante, 1999. I noticed fumes covering the passenger side windshield. In the winter time the problem is worse and it covers both passenger side and driver's side creating very dangerous driving conditions.
Rear end unstable. Vehicle backend swerves and fishtails on wet or icy surfaces. Repair shop states back end is frozen and unable to align rear tires causing vehicle to swerve when driven on wet or icy surfaces. Misalignment of rear results in new tires having to be purchased approximately every 2-3 months.
Tl*the contact owns 1999 mitsubishi diamante. The contact stated that while traveling at various speeds the rear view mirror would shake; and was not securely attached to the windshield. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the rear view mirror was attached properly. On a separate occasion the rearview mirror broke and detached from the windshield. The rear view mirror was replaced by an authorized dealer. The contact detected the problem since the purchase date of the vehicle. The failure mileage was 200. The VIN was unavailable.
1999 mitsubishi diamante. Consumer states that thread patterns on tires on vehicle are asymmetric. *tgw the consumer stated the tires didn't have any tread wear, or other ratings on them. The consumer was told the tires were mounted correctly. Updated 04/14/10.
Smell of antifreeze inside car, windows fogged up making it very difficult to drive. Mechanic says is likely heater core failure, $700 to fix.
Heater core on 1999 diamante leaked in passenger compartment. Windows fogged up and electrical componets were leaked on.
The windows fog up so bad that it becomes hard to see. The vents spew out the pungent smell of anti-freeze. I have noticed on more than a few occasions that puffs of vapor shoot out from under the passenger side dash and vents. I know that anti-freeze is poisonous to humans and don't think that its safe for me to be driving the vehicle when I have to breath in the vapors.
My heater core is faulty, my defogger wont work, and it is emitting some terrible fumes in the car, also anti freeze is leaking on the front passenger floor.
1999 diamante engine blew three weeks after purchase. *ts
