Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY SERPENTINE BELT POPPED OFF THE TENSIONER WHICH CAUSED ME TO LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND THEN RESULTED IN MY RADIATOR BLOWING ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE REGARDING MY 2008 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER REGARDING THE DRIVE BELT AND PULLEY SYSTEM. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALERSHIP, JERRY'S MITSUBISHI, IN PARKVILLE MD 21234 AND THEN THEY CANCELLED THE APPOINTMENT STATING THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND HAVE NO DATE WHEN THEY ARE TO ARRIVE. I TRIED CALLING MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER RELATIONS 888-648-7820 AND THEIR AUTOMATED SYSTEM DOESN'T ALLOW NOR CAN I EVER SPEAK TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO CONTACT NHTSA AT 1-888-327-4236 AND AGAIN HAVE NO WAY OF SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE. SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY AVENUE OF APPROACH IS TO SUBMIT THIS COMPLAINT WHICH IS NOT ONLY FOR THE RECALL BUT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE INABILITY TO CONTACT ANYONE LIVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE DEALERSHIP. I SINCERELY HOPE THIS GETS ATTENTION. *TR
