Drivers inside door panel loose; panel re-attached with clips by cool spring mitsubishi second incident july 25, 2008; drivers inside door loose again, re-attached with clips by hallmark mitsubishi third incident september 12, 2012 drivers inside door panel loose, could not re-attached with clips; need to order new inside door panel. Panel ordered and re-installed by (ntb) national tire and battery fourth incident, july 2014, passenger inside door panel loose; ntb and firestone could not fix, need panel replaced. I have receipt for all these incidents. I cannot understand why the door panels will not stay attached on this car. Mitsubishi should reimburse me for all the expenses associated with previous repair of these panels and fix the panel for the rear door. I also need assurance and proof that they will repair at no cost any future panels that come loose as long as I own this car. This is ridiculous that you cannot get out of your car because the panel catches.

There is no accident but the paint on my black car is peeling off. I have big white splotches all over my car. It looks terrible. I have always taken care of my car, and the paint just started peeling off. I have heard and seen this on alot of mitsubishi black cars. I think it defective paint. Help.

The driver side door panel gets caught on the b pillar almost every time the door is closed making it near impossible to open. Also a few weeks after this started happening the window started to stick in the down position only going up after beating on the inside of the door .

At about 50k miles both rear windows failed, went down on their own and won't go back up, I had to wedge them up to keep the in place. The paint on the rear bumper is oxidizing rapidly, this car has been parked in a garage for the entire time I have owned it. At about 90k miles I took my car in for a check engine light, it was a catalytic converter, I was told that the recall had expired and I would have to pay $1100 to replace the part. I sent an email to mitsubishi that was unreturned.

In oct. 2006 I took my vehicle in because the right front and rear doors were sticking and not opening at times. The dealer replaced the door panels. In july 2008 I took the vehicle to a different dealer for the same problem with right front and rear doors. They replaced the clips that hold the door panel to the frame, sighting poor design of the door panels. Currently (jan. 2010) I am again having this problem with the right front and rear doors again and now the driver's front door. This will be the third time I've had this issue with the passenger doors. Mitsubishi does not feel this a concern to them since my vehicle is no longer covered under warranty. My concern is that this is a safety issue, currently three of my four doors get stuck and will not open at times, what if I were in an accident and needed to get out of the car? Please help me bring attention to this matter.
