At 27,000 miles the storage compartment door broke.
At less than 30,000 miles the front brakes wore out completely... I replaced them with factory brakes and they wore out again in about 20,000 miles... I replaced them with after-market brakes and they are now almost completely worn again.
At 30,000 the antenna failed to retract... Now it fails to retract or stay fully extended. Replacement cost for the motor is > $500. The radio always sounded tinny, now it gets very bad reception.
At 53,000 the fuel gauge ceased working... Replacement cost for the sending unit > $750.
At 65,000 the radiator core rusted through and leaked onto my Engine Control Unit (inside the car!) I had to replace BOTH units for almost $3,000. The dealer recommended I do not repair, but donate to charity.
Driver's seat squeaks and has always had an errant spring...
Rear passenger window seal is easily knocked off and not so easily replaced...
At 80,000 the center-rear brake light fell off the window...
Other "smaller" items...
Cover broke off from power outlet.
The car has always had a tendency to wander a bit, and has become a tedious chore to drive for any distance...
Covering on the seat head rests is coming off...
This is my second Mitsubishi... I kick myself when I think about what a mistake it was going back for seconds. Stay away from Mitsubishi cars...
It is regretful that you obviously got a lemon. However, my 2002 Diamante, 3.5 liter engine, 60,000 miles) is a jewel. It is luxurious with the leather interior. The power seats are terrific.
The engine responds every time I need to enter a freeway, highway traffic or just pull away from a mess in the rear view mirror.
The brakes are the best of any vehicle I have ever driven. The Infiniti sound system is all I need. The moon roof is a welcomed addition. My work is a 14 mile round trip, but I fill up only twice a month.
Until a "friend" slammed the back door, I had no wind noise.
Handling has been sufficient in all normal conditions and very good in a few abnormal conditions. There is nothing I would change about this vehicle.
In regard to the first post. It's puzzling to me that you kept this car that you were having so many problems with. Obviously you are still driving it after 80,000 plus miles. Every manufacturer has a lemon or two in the line. I'm sorry to read that your car was among the few that was a lemon.
The original reviewer must have liked the car enough to keep spending a lot of money fixing it.
Oh and sure you got a lemon, but no need to tarnish the entire brand because of it.
I have a 2001 Magna (the Australian version) and have had 130,000 kilometres of trouble free motoring so far. No mechancial or quality issues to report.
The original reviewer should have tried to look after his car. These all sound like things that were caused by the owner.
