Summary

THE REARVIEW CAMERA SYSTEM SUDDENLY QUIT SHOWING VIDEO WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. THE CAMERA ITSELF STILL WORKS AS I CAN GO INTO THE SETTINGS FOR BRIGHTNESS, COLOR, ETC., THE BACK UP SENSORS STILL BEEP WHEN I AM BACKING UP AND THE REVERSE LIGHTS STILL WORK AS WELL. FROM LOOKING AT THE MITSUBISHI FORUM (HTTPS://WWW.MITSUBISHI-FORUMS.COM/THREADS/REVERSE-CAMERA-NOT-COMING-ON.72338/#POST-360974) , APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR MANY PEOPLE. ONE FORUM MEMBER STATES AN ETACS CODING ENTRY CALLED 'REAR_CMR_PRST' SAYS IT IS 'NOT PRESENT.' I FEEL THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE, PARTICULARLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PUBLIC PARKING SPOT. I REALIZE THIS IS A CONVENIENCE ITEM FOR MY YEAR OF VEHICLE (2014), BUT SINCE THE CAMERON GULBRANSEN KIDS TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ACT OF 2007 BECAME LAW AS OF MAY 1, 2018, THESE ITEMS ARE STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON ALL NEW VEHICLES. FROM READING THE FORUM, ANY REPAIRS ARE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONSUMER, AND MY LOCAL MITSUBISHI SHOPS HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT IS WRONG AND HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. MANY IN THE FORUM MENTION 'VEHICLE SIGNAL CHECK' MENU, ETACS PROGRAMMING, CAN COMMUNICATIONS, CODING DATA, AND OTHER WIRING INFORMATION THE AVERAGE CONSUMER IS OBLIVIOUS OF. IF REARVIEW CAMERAS ARE REQUIRED EQUIPMENT DUE TO PASSAGE OF THE ABOVE LAW, SHOULDN'T THIS ISSUE BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECT AT MANUFACTURER EXPENSE? BY THE WAY, THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT, HAD ANY DAMAGE DONE TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND MAINTAINED.

Summary

I PLACED MY CHILD IN THE CAR SEAT IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS A WARM DAY SO ONCE SHE WAS SAFELY FASTENED, I STARTED THE CAR TO RUN THE AIR CONDITIONER. IT HAS A KEYLESS START AND THE KEYS WERE IN MY POCKET. ONCE THE CAR WAS STARTED, I GOT OUT TO GO BACK TO THE BACK SEAT WITH MY DAUGHTER WHILE WE WAITED ON MY WIFE, WHO WAS STILL IN THE RESTAURANT PAYING THE BILL. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, THE KEYS WERE STILL IN MY POCKET. I CLOSED THE DRIVER DOOR. IT STARTED BEEPING BECAUSE THE KEYS WERE NOT PRESENT (THEY WERE IN MY POCKET, NOT THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE). THIS CAUSED THE DOORS TO LOCK. I TRIED TO OPEN ALL OF THE DOORS, THEY WERE ALL LOCKED. THE KEY FOB WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS. I PRESSED THE BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB TO RELEASE THE MANUAL KEY. I INSTERTED IT INTO THE KEY HOLE AND TURNED. IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. NONE OF THE BUTTONS WOULD RESPOND. MANUAL KEY APPEARS TO ALSO BE ELECTRONIC. MY 16 MONTH OLD CHILD WAS LOCKED IN THE RUNNING CAR ALONE. MY WIFE CAME OUT AND WAS TRYING TO APPEASE HER THROUGH THE WINDOW. WE CALLED EMERGENCY SERVICES AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS DISPATCHED. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES, MY UNSUPERVISED DAUGHTER PULLED HER BARRETTE FROM HER HAIR AND PLACED IT IN HER MOUTH. I PULLED A GREEN STAKE FROM THE GROUND THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY SUPPORTING AN ADOLESCENT TREE. I THREW IT LIKE A JAVELIN 10 TIMES AT THE CAR WINDOW IN AN ATTEMPT TO BREAK IT. IT WOULDN'T BREAK. LUCKILY, A MAN PULLED UP WITH A SMALL WINDOW BREAKING HAMMER DESIGNED TO BREAK WINDOWS FROM THE INSIDE OF A CAR SUBMERGED IN WATER. I USED THIS TO EVENTUALLY BREAK THE WINDOW AND DISLODGE THE ITEM FROM MY DAUGHTER'S THROAT. THE CAR LOCKED ME OUT ALTHOUGH A RETAINED THE KEYS. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING. ANY PARENT WHO PARKS THE CAR AND GETS OUT TO REMOVE THEIR CAR FROM THE REAR SEAT COULD EXPERIENCE THE SAME FATE. I CAN REPLICATE THIS ISSUE ON COMMAND. IT WASN'T A FLUKE.

ON MARCH 6, 2018 I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE IN SLOW MOVING BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE THE CAR BEGAN TO SLIDE STRAIGHT FORWARD. NO PULSATION FROM THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I WAS AND AM VERY SURPRISED THAT MY CAR DID NOT STOP IN TIME. IN THE INTERIM I SETTLED MY CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. ON 3/29/2018. ON 3/30/2018 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MITSUBISHI TELLING ME OF AN ISSUE THEY CALL A "PARKING BREAK" PROBLEM. I HAVE ASKED SEVERAL MECHANICS ABOUT THE POSSIBLE NEED TO REPLACE "THE PISTON ASSEMBLY OF THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER WILL BE REPLACED WITH A COUNTERMEASURE UNIT". I HAVE BEE ASSURED THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FAILURE TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. BECAUSE I NO LONGER OWN THE CAR I HAVE NOTIFIED ALLSTATE INSURANCE OF THE PRESENT RECALL. IF POSSIBLE THIS SHOULD BE AN URGENT RECALL. SADLY I HAVE LOST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND A RECORD OF 36 YEARS OF ACCIDENT FREE DRIVING. PLEASE INVESTIGATE

Summary

I WAS RECENTLY IN A WRECK AND MY CARS AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK IN. I WAS SITTING STATIONARY AS THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME HAD STOPPED TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO TURN. ALL OF A SUDDEN A CAR SMASHED INTO MY REAR END. ALL PASSENGERS IN THE CAR AND MYSELF WERE THROWN FORWARD. THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK US IN SAFELY. I HIT MY STEERING WHEEL AND LEFT PANEL NEAR WINDSHIELD. THE PASSENGER HIT THE SUN VISOR ABOVE HIS HEAD. THE BACK DRIVER PASSENGER WAS JOLTED UPWARD HITTING THE CEILING AND DRIVERS SEAT. THE BACK PASSENGER ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS JOLTED UP HITTING THE CEILING AND PASSENGER SEAT. THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH TO MOVE MY CAR 33 FEET FORWARD AND INTO ANOTHER CAR. ON IMPACT MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH CAUSED US TO ALL GO AIRBORNE IN THE CAR HITTING CEILING, SEATS, AND EQUIPMENT. THE REAR PASSENGER EYEGLASSES LANDED IN THE 3RD ROW SEATING SO THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH THAT SOME SAFETY DEVICES SHOULD HAVE WORKED PROPERLY AND SUFFICIENTLY.

Summary

ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2016, I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE'S 2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT THE HARRIS TEETER GROCERY STORE LOCATED AT 2019 S GLENBURNIE ROAD, NEW BERN, NC. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT ON THE LEFT. THEREFORE, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOWLY PULL INTO THE SPOT. AS I CONTINUED TO MOVE IN A FORWARD MOTION WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP, THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD. I HAD NOT PULLED COMPLETELY INTO THE SPOT AT THE TIME, SO MY FOOT WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN ON THE BRAKE. WHEN OUR CAR LURCHED IT THEN HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. THE LEFT SIDE OF OUR CAR IMPACTED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR PARKED IN THE SPOT IN FRONT OF THE SPOT WE WERE PULLING INTO CAUSING THAT CAR TO ROLL OUT OF ITS PARKING SPOT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE AISLE IN THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR THAT WAS HIT HAD QUITE A BIT OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT LEFT FENDER OF THE CAR AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. OUR CAR'S LEFT FENDER ALSO SUFFERED DAMAGE AND THE RADIATOR WAS BUSTED. OUR CAR ALSO HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE LOT. WE ARE HAVING THE VEHICLE CHECKED TO SEE WHAT MADE IT LURCH. AND HONESTLY, I WILL BE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS FIXED IF THEY FOR SOME REASON SAY THEY DON'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. I AM UPLOADING PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE DONE TO BOTH CARS. I ALSO RECEIVED A CITATION FOR THE ACCIDENT AND NOW HAVE TO GO TO COURT TO CLEAR THIS UP. I WILL ALSO BE FILING THIS COMPLAINT DIRECTLY WITH MITSUBISHI MOTORS. THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, BUT I WANTED TO REPORT THIS BEFORE A SITUATION LIKE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE INJURY OR DEATH.

I HAVE TRIED MAKING RIGHT TURNS AND LEFT YIELD TURNS ONLY TO FIND THAT I CANNOT MOVE FAST ENOUGH OUT OF ANOTHER VEHICLES PATH IN A SAFE TIME AND THAT IT IS TOO DIFFICULT TO TRY AND PRESUME HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO CROSS A STREET AS THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE IS UNPREDICTABLE EVERY TIME. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY DRIVE WITH THE SHIFTER IN MANUAL TO OVERRIDE THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO DECIPHER THE SAFER MANUAL POSITION IT ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE.
