The service airbag soon light is on. When taken to a mechanic it doesn't show anything in the computer. The middle row middle and right side seatbelts are different sizes and passengers get stuck if they put the latch in the wrong one. Running board clips passenger side keep breaking.

Airbag system service required light comes on and off constantly while driving on any type of road and while parked. Mitsubishi dealership states that the passenger seat got wet and the light will go off when the seat dries. The seat has never been wet and the passenger floor is not wet either. Dealer refuses to fix the issue.
