While driving 52 mph, the driver started to hear drilling sounds/vibration from the front of the vehicle. Then without any warning he couldn't control the vehicle because the steering wheel locked up. Tried to put on brakes, nothing happened. The vehicle began to flip and spin and was involved in a crash. Neither air bags deployed. Six (6) injuries and one (1) fatality.

My vehicle is wondering on the road so bad that it has became a safety issue for me and my family. I cann't get the dealer to do any thing about it. My vehicle is drifting on the road some time to the right and some time to the left. I have had this problem for the past 15 months. I have taken to the dealer more than 15 times, I have spent my money and time and I'm getting no where. Please help me! I will porvide this vehicle for any kind of testing. I have searched and found out that this porblem has caused accidents in the past with injuries. I bought this vehicle when it had only 15K miles. It was a program car from Mitsubishi. Please contact me day or night after January 5th, 1999, I will provide any document that you would need. Thanks, mirwais rahin
