Mitsubishi window and wiper problems

Owners have filed 888 complaints with NHTSA about the glass, mirrors and wipers on Mitsubishi vehicles — 6% of everything reported about the brand, across 25 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mitsubishi Diamante, worst in 2002.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
