Once again another recall

These recalls are really getting ridiculous . Received another notice today regarding another airbag sensor problem. Apparently salt used for snow gets accumulated in the front sensors, delaying an airbag response in case of an accident. Becoming and extremely unhappy customer.

I find that the dealer screws the car even more once they touch it.. Pretty glad my RA isnt effected by any recalls yet.. Only recall i will ever go in for is something life risking. The morons in service always makes things worse.

No letter yet, but I'm so afraid to let the dealer do anything after the "smell of something burning off" after the AWD flash. I share the same opinion as Jyrk in that the less they touch it the better off I am. Coming from an incredible service oriented Honda dealership in comparison to the Mitsu dealership, I have a right and a reason to complain.

I keep forgetting to call my car in for the recall...I need to do that soon... Snows coming...that means salt is around the corner.

Some of you guys must have some really crappy stealerships in your area! The one I go to isn't half bad...at least they don't act like they're complete idiots.

your car is not effected by any recalls? seems you have ralliart no? If so, then you might want to get the fuel line recall done (obvious engine fire possibility from a cracked line potential) and while your at it the air bag sensor recall since you do live in Canada. If anything it seems like those might be 'something life risking' I would think.
just my 2c's

Yeah if you have a RA, there's the brake booster, hood latch, fuel return, and now the air bag. Also might wanna get the awc taken care of cause ur in a colder climate.

Damn, I gotta do that as well as the fuel pipe. I've done all the others.
Soon as I finished these two, I will start modding!!
I hope there aren't anymore recalls after this. I'm tired of going to the dealers.

I took care the air bag sensor. Dealer took about 40mins. At least Mitsubishi is notifying and taking care of the recalls were most of other manufactures keep it quiet untill something big happens.

Only thing they got for me when i checked is the flash.. which i choose to avoid, since i haven't had a problem even with the cold weather..

Only certain RA's get the recalls.. The ones built on (i would assume) friday afternoon.
