FROM 10/94 THRU 3/2000 I OWNED A MITSUBISHI EXPO LRV 3DRCYL AUTOMATIC, I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT 85,000 IN1998 AND THEN MULTIPLE TIMES IN 1999 & 2000 TILL I GOT RID OF IT. NOW I AM NOTICING A LOT OF MITSUBISHI EXPO, EAGLE SUMMIT WAGON ECT. WITH BAD TRANSMISSIONS, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO CHECK THIS OUT BECUASE I SPENT THUSANDS ON THAT TRANSMISSION, AND I KNOW OTHERS WHO DID AS WELL. *AK

RECALL 97V963001, CONSUMER'S SEAT BELT AND THE DOOR LATCH SWITCH WERE DEFECTIVE. THE SEAT BELT COULD NOT BE UTILIZED. THE MOTOR WAS DISCONNECTED BY CONSUMER IN ORDER TO USE THE SEAT BELT. CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RE ALL DUE TO VIN. *AK *NM

THERE WAS A RECALL (97V063001) CONCERNING THE DOOR LATCH WHICH COULD MALFUNCTION WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE SHOULDER BELT ANCHORAGE TO REMAIN AT THE A-PILLAR WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS DID NOT ENGAGE. THE SEAT BELT DID NOT SLIDE ON THE RAIL PROPERLY. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME VEHICLE ONLY ONE YEAR EARLIER, BUT THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK (RIGHT REAR DOOR) *SC *JB
