NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.
Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all complaints include one.
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.
TRANSFER CASE LOCKUP
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, A CONDITION EXISTS THAT ALLOWS OIL TO LEAK FROM THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE.
Risk: LOW OIL LEVELS IN THE TRANSFER CASE COULD CAUSE BEARING DAMAGE AND RESULT IN DRIVE TRAIN LOCKUP, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Recalls cover specific build ranges, so check your own vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or, in Canada, Transport Canada.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT AFTER IT HAS BEEN PULLED. THE SEAT BELT THEN LEAVES FAR TOO MUCH SLACK. THIS COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO ALL WHO DRIVE A MITSUBISHI 3000GT OR DODGE STEALTH.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION. SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT PROPERLY EVEN WHEN FED. SEAT BELT OFTEN TWISTS IN THE GUIDER/HOLDER CAUSING IT TO GET STUCK MAKING IT UNUSABLE A MAJORITY OF THE TIME. THIS HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR 8 YEARS PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THIS COMPLAINT.
NHTSA complaint #10161869 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
MY SEAT BELT (DRIVER AND PASSENGER) DOES NOT RETRACT. IT WILL IF YOU FEED IT BACK THROUGH THE SLOT FROM WHERE IT COMES OUT OF OR AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE ONLY EVENTS LEADING TO THIS FAILURE IN MY OPINION IS REPEATED USE. THE FAILURE OF THE SEAT BELT TO RETRACT CAN CAUSE INJURY TO MYSELF/PASSENGER IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH SINCE I WOULD BE JOLTED FARTHER FORWARD THAN I WOULD NORMALLY WITH A PROPERLY WORKING SEAT BELT.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
THE SEAT BELTS IN MY MITSUBISHI 3000GT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS PULLED ON IT DOES NOT RETRACT, LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK IN THE BELT THAT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, IT WOULD NOT SERVE ITS PURPOSE AS A SAFETY RESTRAINT.

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
REGARDING NHTSA RECALL ID: 02V143001 FOR THE TRANSFER CASE ON THE 1995 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR-4. MY CAR'S TRANSFER CASE BEGAN LEAKING ABOUT 100 MILES AGO. THROUGH MY CAR CLUB I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED ON THIS AND TO CALL THE DEALER. I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE WHEN I COULD SCHEDULE MY REPAIR AND THEY ASKED FOR MY VIN#. WHEN THEY RAN THE VIN# THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE PREVIOUS CAR OWNER TOOK THE CAR IN DEC. OF 2002 AND THE TRANSFER CASE PASSED INSPECTION SO THE SAFETY RECALL WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR. I THEN CALLED MITSUBISHI OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE NO LONGER LIABLE FOR THIS REPAIR. I WENT BACK TO MY CAR CLUB AND FOUND OUT FROM SEVERAL MEMBERS THAT THEY HAD THE RECALL DONE SEVERAL TIMES WITH LITTLE OR NO HASSLE FROM MITSUBISHI. THEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT YOU AND FILE A COMPLAINT. IF THIS ISN'T ADDRESSED, THE TRANSFER CASE CAN LOCK UP AT HIGH SPEEDS CAUSING MY REAR WHEELS TO SEIZE AND MY VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL AND POSSIBLY ROLL OR SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. SO THIS IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT NOW, AND I CERTAINLY WON'T EVEN CONSIDER LETTING MY WIFE OR 6 MONTH OLD SON RIDE IN THE CAR UNTIL THIS IS ADDRESSED. MY CAR HAS 127K MILES ON IT SO IT HAS BEEN DRIVING LESS THAN 12K A YEAR. MITSUBISHI DIDN'T REPLACE OR FIX ANYTHING ON THE TRANSFER CASE WHEN THE RECALL WAS ORIGINALLY DONE IN 2002. I FEEL THEY SHOULD STILL BE LIABLE FOR THIS. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT GRIEF WITH THEM EVERYTIME I TRY TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR SAFETY RELATED ISSUES. LAST YEAR I HAD TO BUY NEW SEAT BELTS BECAUSE MINE NO LONGER RETRACTED. MANUFACTURERS LIKE HONDA AND TOYOTA WARRANTY SEAT BELTS FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. I WOULD BUY A NEW TRANSFER CASE, EXCEPT WITH PARTS AND LABOR IT WOULD BE OVER $3000 AND I DON'T FEEL THIS IS MY RESPONSIBILITY SINCE THERE IS A GOVERNMENT MANDATED SAFETY RECALL ON THIS, AND IT TECHNICALLY HAS NEVER BEEN REPAIRED OR SERVICED BEFORE.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
MY SEAT BELTS IN MY 1995 MITSUBISHI 3000GT DO NOT RETRACT PROPERLY, AND STAY LOOSE WHEN DRIVING. THERE IS A LOT OF SLACK ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS WHEN IN USE AND IS A HAZARD TO MY PASSENGER AND MYSELF IF WE WERE EVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE MANY MITSUBISHI 3000GTS AND DODGE STEALTHS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, NOT A WEAR-AND-TEAR ITEM, AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO INSTITUTE SAFETY IN THESE VEHICLES.

MANY OTHER 3000GT'S OF ALL YEARS IN ALL CONDITIONS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE MITSUBISHI SHOULD BE FIXING, NOT ME.

I HAVE A 1995 MITSUBISHI 3000 VR4 THAT HAS SEAT BELTS THAT DO NOT WORK. THEY DO NOT FULLY RETRACT WHEN PULLED OUT. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 10 YEARS AND THEY HAVE NOT CONSISTENTLY WORKED SINCE JUST ABOUT DAY ONE. IT STARTED INFREQUENTLY AND NOW IT IS CONSTANT WHERE THE SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT AND FIT SNUG AGAINST YOUR BODY WHEN DRIVING. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE.
