2006 Mitsubishi Raider Complaints

The contact owns a 2006 Mitsubishi Raider. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds through a residential area, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power, prompting the contact to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway at the end of a cul-de-sac and shift the vehicle into park. Upon attempting to exit the cul-de-sac the contact stated that the vehicle failed to shift into reverse, after which the contact shifted the vehicle back into drive. Immediately upon shifting back into drive the vehicle aggressively accelerated independently, causing a brief loss of control of the vehicle. The contact was able to regain control of the vehicle brought the vehicle to a complete stop and switched the vehicle off; deciding then to discontinue driving the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not towed to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

Hi- We have been trying to get our Mitsubishi Raider 2006 recall for an exploding sharp metal pieces that can cause death fixed with zero help. We have been without a car for over one year due to being ignored by Mitsubishi Corporate and our closest Mitsubishi Cutter Dealership. We live on an island in Hawaii that does not have a dealership so car must be shipped to Oahu to be repaired. Talked to manager at Cutter Mitsubishi many times and she said it’s Mitsubishis problem to figure out. Mitsubishi Corporate has been contacted at least 4 times with nobody contacting me back. Case worker [XXX] has completely ignored my case. Called recall number and have filed 5 cases now with no response. I will have to file a lawsuit to get help. Can someone please call [XXX] @ [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN SERIOUS OFFSET HEAD ON CRASH WITH A FULL SIZE CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE SIDE APRON AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY ON BOTH SIDES. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A TWO LANE RURAL ROAD WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 45MPH. DON'T KNOW ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEEDS. CHEVROLET VEERED INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE AND STRUCK THE MITSUBISHI RAIDER XLS TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I BELIEVE THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG CONTRIBUTED TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE MITSUBISHI DRIVERS INJURIES.
