- What is wrong
- Mitsubishi is recalling 45,988 my 2005-2007 endeavor, galant, eclipse coupe, and my 2007 eclipse spyder vehicles. The bracket that is the attachment point for the left rear fuel tank mounting strap may have been improperly formed during a metal stamping process. The process may have caused the metal to have a split in the area where the bolt that holds one of the two fuel tank straps to the underside of the vehicle is located. In the event the fuel tank is full and the vehicle is subject to a severe collision, the bracket may break and allow the fuel tank to drop down, possibly causing a fuel leak.
- Risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect to see if the left rear fuel tank strap mounting bracket has splitting beyond a specific limit. Vehicles with moderate to severe splitting will be repaired using a reinforcement cap, a special structural adhesive, and a rivet to reinforce the fuel tank mounting bracket. The recall began on september 20, 2008. Owners may contact mitsubishi at 1‑800‑222‑0037.

Takata recall fuel leakage
My check engine light was on; so the mechanic replaced the egr valve w/gassket. I have driven my car about 500 miles and it still does not pass the smog test. The oxygen sensor is not ready. I've been told that I need to drive the car more.
The SRS light on dashboard is on.I want to know if there is a recall from the manufacturer takata on the air bags.
On may 26, 2016 while traveling about 50 MPH going up a straight stretch of highway I heard loud banging coming from the engine compartment, then quiet for a second then more loud clanging. I immediately released the accelerator. My battery light immediately came on. I stepped on my brake but had to step hard to get it to slow my car. I approached a curve and had to really muscle the car around the curve. Luckily I was able to just roll into a resort parking lot. My belt was laying under the car but still intact. My mechanic said the water pump came apart and took the pulley with it, causing the belt to fall to the ground.
The dashboard that holds in the passenger airbag has come unglued from the frame on the dashboard. Also the side view mirrors are not very stable and have been shaking and the passenger side view mirror has just broke off from driving and turning onto other roads that have slight dip. The door handles have turned brittle and when we opened the door it just broke off.
Left headlight keeps burning out. Replaced socket and bulb 3 times. About to do it again. Suspect over-current somewhere
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 mitsubishi galant. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10-15 MPH, the engine stalled. The vehicle was towed several times to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.
I purchased this vehicle in 2009. Shortly after my purchase the check engine light came and I have the code read, which indicated the issue was the egr valve which affects emissions. The mechanic initially soaked the valve which worked for a while, but the check engine came on again. Same code, same problem, however soaking would not solve the problem. Mitsubishi no longer manufacturers the part, so had to be purchased after market. Total cost almost $700.00. Less than 1 year later, same problem, check light engine on, same code (p04 - I believe), another $700 and this time another mechanic told me mitsubishi issued a service alert in 2010, which I am unable to find. The service alert supposedly stated the issue lies in the programming, that no one is able to get done. So for the 3rd time in 6 years I'm looking to replace the same part, same issue. 2nd issue: replacement keys have to programmed by the dealership. The cheapest I've found is $294 to the highest $399.00. Ridiculous!!! Have to spend the money, because if for some reason the key I use breaks car will not start. What a rip off.
