1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT Complaints

ENGINE TRANSFER CASE IS LEAKING APPROXIMATELY ENOUGH AMOUNT TO EMPTY THE ENGINE IN 3 WEEKS. THERE WAS A RECALL THAT WAS NEVER DONE BY PREVIOUS OWNERS. REQUESTING A CLAIM FOR A RECALL THAT WAS CLOSED IN 2002. I DISCOVERED THE RECALL AND THE FAILED PARTS AFTER I PURCHASED IT FROM A PRIVATE SELL 04/21/11. FAILED TRANSFER CASE STILL EXISTS ON THIS VEHICLE. MY SAFETY CONCERNS DUE TO A FAILED TRANSFER CASE ARE AS FOLLOWS: HOT RUNNING ENGINE, POOR PERFORMANCE, DIFFICULT SHIFTING, FAULTY SENSORS, POOR MILEAGE, ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY, ETC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 MITSUBISHI 300 GT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE HE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE WHERE HE NOTICED THAT THE SUBFRAME CONNECTED TO LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 218,442.

SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT PROPERLY, LEAVING SLACK IN THE BELT THAT CAUSES IT TO NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE DRIVER. *TR

SEAT BELT IN MY 1994 MITSUBISHI 3000GT DO NOT FUNCTION. I HAD THEM CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS NOTORIOUSLY COMMON ON THESE TO HAVE BAD NON-OPERATIONAL SEAT BELTS. IF IT IS NOTORIOUSLY COMMON WHY HAS MITSUBISHI NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM? I AM JUST CONCERNED THAT THE BELTS I AM GETTING INSTALLED WILL DO THE SAME THING, THEY ARE OF THE SAME MANUFACTURER, SO SAYS THE DEALERSHIP. RIGHT NOW MY BELTS ARE ONLY USED FOR SHOW UNTIL THE NEW BELTS COME IN. LAW SAYS YOU NEED TO WEAR A SEATBELT, BUT MINE WILL NOT DO ITS JOB IF I DO GET IN A WRECK. *TR

THE SEATBELTS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHEN THE SEATBELT IS PULLED ON IT DOES NOT RETRACT, LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK IN THE BELT THAT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, IT WOULD NOT SERVE ITS PURPOSE AS A SAFETY RESTRAINT. *TR
