WHEEL CAME OFF WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING 17 INCH ALLOY WHEEL RIMS ON 2-8-08 AT 2:30 PM I WAS DRIVING THE LANE NEXT TO THE FAST LANE ON THE 210 FREEWAY IN LA CRESCENTA CALIFORNIA AT 60MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING. I TRIED TO CONTROL THE CAR SLOWLY AND ALMOST HAD IT UNDER CONTROL WHEN I HEARD A NOISE. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE EVEN MORE AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATED. THERE WAS NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT ALL, IT SPUN 3 LANES TO THE RIGHT VERY FAST, HIT THE BERM AND ENDED ON ITS SIDE ON THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE WEATHER WAS WARM SUNNY AND CLEAR AND VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC AND THERE WERE NO OBSTACLES ON THE ROAD THE WHOLE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL CAME OFF DURING THE ACCIDENT WITH THE BRAKES ATTACHED TO IT. I COMPLAINED TO MITSUBISHI BUT ALL THEY SAID IT IS NOT A MECHANICAL FAULT. I STILL SAY IT WAS MITSUBISHI'S FAULT A WHEEL SHOULD JUST NOT CAME OFF I HAVE 17" ALLOY WHEEL RIMS. THANK GOD I WALKED OUT OF THIS ALIVE WITH JUST A SMALL SCRATCH, PLEASE CHECK YOUR WHEE

IN OUR 2004 ENDEAVOR SUV THE BACK SEATBELTS COME UNDONE WITHOUT ANYONE PUSHING THE RED RELEASE BUTTONS. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN CAR SEATS IN THE BACK AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 8 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHERE THE CAR SEAT IS NOT BUCKLED IN ANYMORE BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT CAME LOOSE. WE TOOK IT IN ON 9-21-07 TO DEALER BUT THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, BUT I HAVE TO QUESTION THIS BECAUSE THEY ONLY TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO LOOK AT IT AND THEN SAID IT WAS FINE AND THIS KEEPS HAPPENING AND IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE NEEDLE OF THE FUEL GAUGE BECAME STUCK, AND THE FUEL WARNING LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. AFTER THE CONTACT FILLED THE FUEL TANK, THE INDICATOR NEEDLE DID NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER.
