I took my truck for a frame inspection, frame was rend endeared unsafe and rusted all the way through. Body & engine are intact. New frame is $10,000. The mechanic told me their were numerous complaints about this years frame. He said the metal was dipped correctly. I can obtain a written report. I also called Mitsubishi & they said they could not offer any compensation.

Takata recall - my late husband and I were in a SUV rollover accident in May 4, 2006. Our vehicle was rear-ended by another SUV and ultimately involved four (4) vehicles total. The airbags in our vehicle did not deploy and my husband died later from complications induced by internal bleeding. Police report filed and sent to manufacturer with no response or comment. Noticed that there are several airbag complaints with ntsb for my vehicle type with no open investigations. My husband's death should trigger some type of investigation or concern from both ntsb and the manufacturer.
