1994 MITSUBISHI 3000GT

ENGINE TRANSFER CASE IS LEAKING APPROXIMATELY ENOUGH AMOUNT TO EMPTY THE ENGINE IN 3 WEEKS. THERE WAS A RECALL THAT WAS NEVER DONE BY PREVIOUS OWNERS. REQUESTING A CLAIM FOR A RECALL THAT WAS CLOSED IN 2002. I DISCOVERED THE RECALL AND THE FAILED PARTS AFTER I PURCHASED IT FROM A PRIVATE SELL 04/21/11. FAILED TRANSFER CASE STILL EXISTS ON THIS VEHICLE. MY SAFETY CONCERNS DUE TO A FAILED TRANSFER CASE ARE AS FOLLOWS: HOT RUNNING ENGINE, POOR PERFORMANCE, DIFFICULT SHIFTING, FAULTY SENSORS, POOR MILEAGE, ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY, ETC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 MITSUBISHI 300 GT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE HE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE WHERE HE NOTICED THAT THE SUBFRAME CONNECTED TO LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 218,442.

SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT PROPERLY, LEAVING SLACK IN THE BELT THAT CAUSES IT TO NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE DRIVER. *TR

SEAT BELT IN MY 1994 MITSUBISHI 3000GT DO NOT FUNCTION. I HAD THEM CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS NOTORIOUSLY COMMON ON THESE TO HAVE BAD NON-OPERATIONAL SEAT BELTS. IF IT IS NOTORIOUSLY COMMON WHY HAS MITSUBISHI NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM? I AM JUST CONCERNED THAT THE BELTS I AM GETTING INSTALLED WILL DO THE SAME THING, THEY ARE OF THE SAME MANUFACTURER, SO SAYS THE DEALERSHIP. RIGHT NOW MY BELTS ARE ONLY USED FOR SHOW UNTIL THE NEW BELTS COME IN. LAW SAYS YOU NEED TO WEAR A SEATBELT, BUT MINE WILL NOT DO ITS JOB IF I DO GET IN A WRECK. *TR

THE SEATBELTS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHEN THE SEATBELT IS PULLED ON IT DOES NOT RETRACT, LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK IN THE BELT THAT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, IT WOULD NOT SERVE ITS PURPOSE AS A SAFETY RESTRAINT. *TR

MY FRONT SEAT BELTS IN MY CAR NO LONGER RETRACT. THEY WON'T TIGHTEN UP AGAINST ME AND PROBABLY WOULDN'T HOLD ME TOO WELL IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS A 94 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR-4. *JB

SEAT BELT COMES OUT BUT DOESN'T RETRACT TO BECOME TIGHT ON THE DRIVER. THEN, DOESN'T RETRACT BACK TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, IT GOES ACROSS THE DRIVER IN A SLOPPY LOOSE MANNER. *AK

FRONT SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT AFTER THE SEAT IS RETURNED FROM THE FORWARD POSITION. ALSO, THEY DO NOT RETRACT IF TOO MUCH SLACK IS PULLED WHEN BUCKLING THE BELT. THE SLACK HAS TO BE FED BACK INTO THE TENSIONER TO MAKE THE SEATBELT FIT TIGHT IN ORDER TO BE EFFECTIVE DURING A CRASH. *AK

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT DO NOT RETRACT AFTER BEING PULLED OUT. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF SLACK WHEN IT IS BUCKLED, SO IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, IT WOULD NOT SERVE ITS PURPOSE. WHEN IT IS COLD, SEAT BELT DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL AFTER PULLING OUT. *NM

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS DON'T RETRACT... THEY STAY SLACK ALL THE TIME..I BELIEVE THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS OTHER WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM... IT IS NOT UNIQUE. *NM

MY SEAT BELTS ON A MITSUBISHI 3000GT SL 1994 ARE NOT RETRACTING. AFTER READING A FORUM I HAVE DETERMINED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE, BUT MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, MITSUBISHI WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *NM

Mileage: 90,000

THE SEAT BELT ON MY 94 3000GT WONT RETRACT PROPERLY AND WILL HAVE LOT'S OF SLACK IN IT, SO IF A CRASH OCCURRED IT WONT HAVE ANY PROTECTION. *NM

(1) I PURCHASED A 1994 MITSUBISHI 3000GT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2005. I DON'T KNOW WHAT LEAD UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT, AS IT WAS NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONING WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. (2) WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS PULLED ON IT DOES NOT RETRACT, LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK IN THE BELT THAT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, IT WOULD NOT SERVE ITS PURPOSE AS A SAFETY RESTRAINT. (3) I HAVE DONE NOTHING CURRENTLY TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS DID ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. *JB

I AM A PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL CLUB FOR CARS. I READ IN OUR FORUM THAT WE NEED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR SEAT BELTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY TO CREATE A RECALL FOR BEING UNSAFE. I OWN A 3000GT VR4 AND ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM OF MY SEAT BELTS NOT RETRACTING PROPERLY AFTER BEING PUT ON. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THIS? PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I APPRECIATE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP. *NM
