The fuel filler pipe is leaking from behind the protection plate. I've contacted a local dealer and the Manufacturer and feel that I'm getting the run around as there is a previous recall for this same problem on the 2004 model, while mine is a 2010. I had it inspected prior to contacting Mitsubishi.

I JUST HAD TO PAY FOR A REPAIR FOR THE FUEL FILLER PIPE. IT WAS LEAKING AS I WOULD FILL THE CAR WITH GAS. THIS MODEL HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY CAR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.T HE PART THEY PUT DOWN ON THE BILL WAS "THE RECALL KIT". I FEEL THAT MINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED ALSO.

I ASKED WHY? IS THERE A RECALL ON MY CAR? I WAS TOLD NO. THE ONLY WAY I FOUND OUT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR SINCE 2009 WAS FROM MY INSURANCE PROVIDER. SO I CALLED THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND ASKED HOW CAN YOU SELL ME A CAR THAT HAS A OPEN RECALL 2009. HE TELLS ME OH YEAH YOU CAN CALL THE 1-800 AND GET IT FIXED FOR FREE. I ASKED SO YOU KNEW AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THERE IS A RECALL?THEN HE SAID NO I DON'T WORK IN SALES.THEN HE SAID IT WAS BASICALLY MY PROBLEM NOW.

CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PUMPING FUEL IN - TOOK TO MECHANIC; HE SAID BATTERY FINE FEW DAYS LATER, CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PUMPING FUEL IN - TOOK TO MECHANIC; HE SAID BATTERY BAD. I REPLACED BATTERY. FEW DAYS LATER, CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PUMPING FUEL IN - TOOK TO MECHANIC; HE SAID NEW BATTERY FINE. SINCE CAR DID NOT START 3 TIMES IN A ROW AFTER PUMPING GAS, AND I NEEDED A JUMP EVERY TIME, I HAD MECHANIC DO A DIAGNOSTIC. HE SAID THE ISSUE WAS TIED TO A RECALL BULLETIN. 10V065000 - FILLER PIPE AND CAP. CALLED MITSUBISHI TO FIX IT BUT THEY SAID MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE I AM STATE OF CALIFORNIA. I DO A LOT OF MY DRIVING IN SNOW SO I FEEL MITSUBISHI SHOULD FIX THIS FOR ME. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD SO I NEED TO FIX IT ASAP (PLUS I DON'T WANT TO GET STUCK AT A GAS STATION AGAIN NEEDING A JUMP). I'D LIKE MITSUBISHI TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS EXPENSE BECAUSE NOW I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

HAD RECALL REPAIRED (FUEL INJECTION PIPE)@ POMOCO HAMPTON VA. IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 6 MILES UP THE ROAD. FIVE DAYS LATER WATER STARTED LEAKING ON DRIVER SIDE ONLY. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER. THEY STATED, A HOSE WAS MISSING ON RECALL REPAIR. I WONDERED WHY WHENEVER I TOPPED OFF GAS @ THE PUMP, FUEL LEAKED FROM BACK TIRE AREA UNDER VEHICLE. FIRE HAZARD. THEY QUOTED 1500 TO FIX WATER LEAK. GOT A IT FIX @ ANOTHER AUTO REPAIR. SIX MTHS LATER, BACK TO POMOCO FOR YRLY INSPECTION, 2 DAYS LATER, WHENEVER I PRESS BRAKES, MAKE TURNS ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, OR IN MOTION I FEEL SOMETHING ROLLS UNDER MY FEET BUT CANT SEE IT, MUST BE UNDERNEATH. A MTH AFTERWARDS, EVERYTHING IS WET. ALL THE FLOOR BOARDS, PUDDLES. CARDBOARD, TOWELS NOTHING WILL STOP THE WATER FLOW WITH AC FUNCTIONING. I HAVE 128,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, BOUGHT IN 2010 WITH 51,000 ON IT. EVER SINCE THE FUEL PIPE RECALL, THAT POMOCO TOOK 3 MTHS TO COMPLETE BECAUSE THEY DIDNT WANT TO DO THE WORK WHICH FORCED ME TO FILE COMPLAINT WITH THE CORPORATION, NHTSA, & ONE OTHER, I'VE HAD WATER PROBLEMS. THIS WILL BE TAKEN TO A HIGHER LEGAL LEVEL DUE TO THIS IS & CONTINUES TO CAUSE HARM, INTENTIONAL OR OTHERWISE. WE'RE ADVISED HERE NOT TO GET PERSONAL BUT MOLD & MUSHROOMS ETC, SHOULD NOT EXIST IN A VEHICLE. I SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH LOTS OF OTHERS AND NOTHING DONE TO DATE. STARTED IN AROUND OCT 2015 (RECALL REPAIR) & AGAIN MAY 2016.
