FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH AN ODOR IN MY 2000 DIAMANTI AND THE DEFOGGER NEVER SEEMED TO WORK ON THE WINDOWS. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I SAW SOMETHING LEAK ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE RUG BUT DIDN'T' T GUESS THAT THIS COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE HEATER CORE. UPON TAKING IT TO MY DEALER I WAS TOLD THIS WAS HOLE IN THE HEATER CORE THAT HAD TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT WAS DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS TO MY HEALTH TO BREATH THE FUMES THAT WERE COMING OUT OF THE CORE. THE COST WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1200. I NOTICED I OFTEN HAD HEADACHES WHEN I DROVE LONG DISTANCES BUT WAS VERY CONCERNED WHEN MY GRANDCHILD BECAME VERY CAR SICK (WHICH HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE) UPON RIDING IN MY CAR. I STILL DIDN'T ASSOCIATE THE HEATER WITH OUR PROBLEMS. I THINK THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE RECALLED ON THESE. I RESENT THAT AFTER ONLY 40,000 MILES I MUST SPEND $1200 ON SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MISTAKE ON MITSUBISHI'S PART SINCE IT IS NOT A WEAR FACTOR. *TR

I CURRENTLY HAVE WHAT IS DESCRIBED TO BE A "HEATER CORE FAILURE" IN MY 2000 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE. I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THIS ISSUE IS FAIRLY COMMON AMONGST DIAMANTES. ANY TIME I TURN ON THE HEATER, MY AUTOMOBILE IS FILLED WITH A NOXIOUS ODOR THAT I'M LEAD TO BELIEVE MIGHT BE DETRIMENTAL TO MY HEALTH. I AM ALSO UNABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION AS I'M FORCED TO CONSTANTLY WIPE THE WINDSHIELD WITH A PAPER TOWEL.*JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

THE FUMES OF ANTIFREEZE FOGGED UP THE WINDOWS SEVERELY, REDUCING VISIBILITY OF THE DRIVER. IT WAS RAINING ONE NIGHT AND MY WINDOWS ALL OF A SUDDEN GOT FOGGY. I TURNED ON THE DEFROSTER, WHICH MADE MY WINDOWS EVEN FOGGIER. THE POOR VISIBILITY CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD INTO THE GRASSY MEDIAN. I WAS OUT OF TOWN WHEN THIS OCCURRED. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM I FOUND THAT IT WAS COMMON ALL DIAMANTES (92 -2001). IN MANY CASES, THE DRIVER IS NOT AWARE THAT THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM. THE ANTIFREEZE WILL STARTED LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER?S SIDE AREA. CAUSING MORE STRONG SMELL OF TOXIC ANTIFREEZE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

3 complaints

2000 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVED AT 5 MPH, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE RPM WAS NOT MOVING. AFTER GOING ABOUT 1/4 OF A MILE, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE JUMPED INTO GEAR AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. THE NEXT DAY, A REPRESENTATIVE FROM MITSUBISHI WENT TO THE CONSUMER'S WORKPLACE AND EXAMINED THE VEHICLE. THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THE THROTTLE CABLE NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED AND SUGGESTED THE CONSUMER TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION TO ORDER A NEW CABLE AND THE HIS VEHICLE STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. *JB

WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR, DRIVE ABOUT A HALF BLOCK, OBTAIN DESIRED SPEED, TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND THEN WHEN THE CAR SLOWS DOWN, I PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR, NOTHING HAPPENS. SO I PRESS DOWN FURTHER ON THE GAS PEDAL, AND SUDDENLY THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD OUT OF CONTROL. SO THEN I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE SLIGHTLY UNTIL THE CAR GOES THE RIGHT SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONLY WHEN THE CAR WAS COLD AND ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, ABOUT SEVEN TIMES IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. MY MECHANIC SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT, BUT THE ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK AGAIN AFTER THE ALLEGED REPAIR. THERE WERE NO CONSEQUENCES EXCEPT FOR A NAGGING FEAR IN THE BACK OF MY MIND FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. ANOTHER INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IS THAT THE LIGHTS FOR TCL AND FIX ENGINE SOON WILL COME ON WHILE I AM DRIVING, GO OFF WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR, AND THEN STAY OFF FOR SEVERAL CAR TRIPS AND ONE OR THE OTHER LIGHT WILL COME ON AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

2 complaints

WE HAVE A 2000 MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE WITH 32K MILES ON IT. CAR IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY ALONG WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WE HAVE PURCHASED. AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF THOUSAND MILES WE NOTICED A "PULSING" FEELING IN THE BRAKES AS WELL AS AN INTERMITTENT ABS WARNING LIGHT FLASH. WE MADE THE DEALER AWARE OF THIS SO THEY REPLACED ALL 4 AT APPROX. 11K. LESS THAN 10K AFTER THAT WE NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM AND TOOK IT INTO A CLOSER DEALER TO WHERE WE LIVE, THEY REPLACED THE BRAKES AGAIN. NOW AGAIN ABOUT 10K THE BRAKES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE ABS LIGHT CAME ON A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THE CAR IS ?PULSING? WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AND IS WORN OUT AGAIN. I SPOKE TO MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT WHO IS THE DEALER REP. DEBBIE KRUMBOLTZ. SHE ORIGINALLY AGREED TO TAKE CARE OF THE BRAKES AFTER I MET WITH HER ABOUT THE ISSUE. WHEN I MADE THE APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE SHE DENIED AGREEING TO THE REPAIR? I IN TURN CALLED MITSUBISHI MOTORS AND SPOKE TO A PERSON IN THE ESCALATED COMPLIANT DIVISION NAMED LISA, SHE WOULD NOT GIVE HER LAST NAME AND BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT THE CASE IS CLOSED AND MITSUBISHI IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING PROBLEM AND THE ABS LIGHT IS STILL AN ISSUE AND THAT THE BRAKES ATE WEARING OUT TOO FAST AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SHE DID NOT CARE SHE AGAIN TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO, SHE WOULD NOT LET ME TALK TO A SUPERVISOR OR ANYONE ABOVE HER AT MITSUBISHI AND TOLD ME THAT THAT IS THE FINAL ANSWER AND HUNG UP ON ME TWICE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WE FEEL THAT WE ARE BEING IGNORED BY MITSUBISHI AND WHEN I TOLD THEM AS A CUSTOMER THAT HAD DROPPED 30+ THOUSAND DOLLARS ON A CAR THAT IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE AT THAT TO BE TOLD ?CASE CLOSED?? IS THE WORST SERVICE AND RESOLVE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. PLEASE HELP? THANK YOU

THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 2/20/2001. ESTIMATED SPEED WAS 35 MPH. THE IGNITION FUSE BLEW AND THE ENTIRE CAR WENT DEAD. I WAS NOT USING ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT IN THE CAR AT THE TIME (I.E. RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC). TOWED TO DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE PROBLEM. THEY KEPT IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT REOCCUR. A FEW DAYS AFTER I GOT THE CAR BACK, THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS WAS ON 2/28. AGAIN TOWED TO THE DEALER. AGAIN REPLACED THE FUSE. AGAIN KEPT IT FOR A WEEK AND DROVE IT CONTINUALLY WITH NO PROBLEM. I GOT THE CAR BACK ON FRIDAY, 3/9. ON SAT. 3/10, AFTER HAVING DRIVEN 65 MILES AT ABOUT 75 MPH, I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AT ABOUT 45 MPH. THE FUSE AGAIN BLEW. I HAD A REPLACEMENT FUSE, WHICH I HAD REQUESTED FROM THE DEALER, AND REPLACED IT MYSELF. I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER TODAY, 3/12.*AK

MY WIFE AND I NOTICED ANTIFREEZE ODOR COMING IN THROUGH VENTS. WHEN OUR WINDOWS WOULD FOG, OUR DEFROSTER WOULDN'T WORK. THEN OUR PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR WAS SOAKED WITH ANTIFREEZE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, OUR HEATER CORE WAS LEAKING. COST WAS $1300 TO REPAIR. MITSUBISHI SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE!! TOO MANY COMPLAINTS. *TR

1 complaint

VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND LOCKED INTO THIRD GEAR. NOTICED SMELL OF COOLANT INSIDE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT AND HAZING OF THE WINDSHIELD. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER TO HAVE PROBLEM IMPROPERLY DIAGNOSED AND HAD TO HAVE IT RE-TESTED TWO WEEKS LATER. HEATER CORE LEAKAGE HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ECU AND NOW BOTH HAVE TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST OF REPAIR FOR BOTH WAS $3,357.62. COOLANT FUMES ARE VERY TOXIC AND CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH RISK AND ECU FAILURE COULD EASILY RESULT IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY OR ELSEWHERE. THE "FOGGING" OF THE WINDSHIELD IS A VISIBILITY HAZARD AS WELL CAUSED BY THE HOT COOLANT IN THE DEFROST VENTS. *JB

WE HAVE A FIVE-YEAR-OLD MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE. FOR THE LAST WEEK, MY HUSBAND, SCOTT HAS SMELLED A SWEET SMELL IN HIS CAR AND HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS FOGGING. TUESDAY MORNING HE STARTED LOSING FORWARD POWER WHEN DRIVING TO WORK ON I480. HE NOTICED THAT HIS DASHBOARD TRANSMISSION LIGHTS WERE ACTING FUNNY SO HE CALLED OUR MITSUBISHI DEALER. THE SERVICE PEOPLE ASKED IF HE HAD NOTICED THAT THE WINDOWS WERE FOGGING OR IF HE SMELLED ANY ANTI-FREEZE COMING FROM THE HEATER. SCOTT WAS ASTONISHED THAT THE SWEET SMELL WAS ANTIFREEZE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT MOST LIKELY IT'S BECAUSE THAT DIAMANTE HAS EXPERIENCED HEATER CORES LEAKING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND DRIPPING ONTO THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. THIS IS WHY HE WAS LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING ON I480. ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS WHAT HEALTH PROBLEMS CAN COME FROM DRIVING IN AN ENCLOSED ENVIRONMENT WHILE THE HEATING SYSTEM IS MIXING ANTIFREEZE FLUID IN THE AIR THAT MY HUSBAND IS BREATHING WHILE COMMUTING TO WORK. LATER ON THAT SAME TUESDAY, THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED HIM AND SAID THAT THEIR SERVICE MANAGER SPOKE DIRECTLY WITH THE REGIONAL MITSUBISHI SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND HE SAID THAT THE HEATER CORE WAS TOO FAR OUT OF WARRANTY TO BE COVERED BASED ON 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER, WHILE COVERED UP TO 84,000 MILES, WOULD ALSO NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO ANTIFREEZE DRIPPING ON THE COMPUTER CAUSING IT TO FAIL. *JB

I PURCHASED THE CAR USED FROM A MITSUBISHI DEALER, A MONTH OR SO LATER I NOTICED A MAPLE SYRUP TYPE SMELL. THE PROCEEDING MONTHS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND NOTICED THAT MY WINDSHIELD KEPT FOGGING UP. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL REPAIR GUY WHO GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE AND INFORMED ME THAT IF I DONT I COULD HAVE A COMPUTER FAILURE BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT UNDER THE HEATER CORE WHICH IN TURN MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL. MY PASSENGER SIDE CARPET IS NOW SOAKED WITH COOLANT AND THE SMELL IS HORRIBLE COMING FROM THE VENTS. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE COOLANT IS TOXIC AND CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS IN YOUR RESPIRATORY SYSTEM WHICH CONCERNS ME EVEN MORE.*AK

STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

1 complaint

ILL BE BRIEF I OWN THE ABOVE CAR AND HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT IS NOT BEING FIXED BY MITSUBISHI. WITH ABOUT < TANK OF GAS IN THE CAR, A HARD RIGHT TURN OR EXIT OFF THE EXPRESSWAYS, CAUSES THE CAR TO COMPLETELY STALL NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES, NO ACCELERATION. WORSE, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL DIAMANTES (VERBAL VIA THE SERVICE REP FOR THE CHICAGO AREA JEFF HAMPTON). I HAVE BEEN IN A SITUATION MORE THAN ONCE WHERE THIS HAS ALMOST PRODUCED A REAR END ACCIDENT BY SEMI TRUCKS AND OTHER VEHICLES. MITSUBISHI SAYS THIS IS AN ENGINEERING ISSUE AND THEY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO (NOTE THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE JULY 2000), SINCE A NEW TANK OR FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. EVEN THE 2002S ARE GOING TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM.*AK
