Car would not start after pumping fuel in - took to mechanic; he said battery fine few days later, car would not start after pumping fuel in - took to mechanic; he said battery bad. I replaced battery. Few days later, car would not start after pumping fuel in - took to mechanic; he said new battery fine. Since car did not start 3 times in a row after pumping gas, and I needed a jump every time, I had mechanic do a diagnostic. He said the issue was tied to a recall bulletin. 10V065000 - filler pipe and cap. Called Mitsubishi to fix it but they said my car does not qualify because I am state of California. I do a lot of my driving in snow so I feel Mitsubishi should fix this for me. This is a potential fire hazard so I need to fix it asap (plus I don't want to get stuck at a gas station again needing a jump). I'd like Mitsubishi to reimburse me for this expense because now I have to pay out of pocket.

I have talked to Mitsubishi numerous times since August 2016. They keep passing the buck or case manager is on vacation. I've been using a hose and funnel to fuel my car because the fill tube has rusted out. This and 4 more recalls on this car puts me in a dangerous situation that Mitsubishi is aware of. I am tired of getting the run around.

Had recall repaired (fuel injection pipe)@ pomoco hampton va. Immediately afterwards, engine light came on while driving 6 miles up the road. Five days later water started leaking on driver side only. Took vehicle back to dealer. They stated, a hose was missing on recall repair. I wondered why whenever I topped off gas @ the pump, fuel leaked from back tire area under vehicle. Fire hazard. They quoted 1500 to fix water leak. Got a it fix @ another auto repair. Six mths later, back to pomoco for yrly inspection, 2 days later, whenever I press brakes, make turns on city streets, highway, or in motion I feel something rolls under my feet but cant see it, must be underneath. A mth afterwards, everything is wet. All the floor boards, puddles. Cardboard, towels nothing will stop the water flow with ac functioning. I have 128,000 miles on the vehicle, bought in 2010 with 51,000 on it. Ever since the fuel pipe recall, that pomoco took 3 mths to complete because they didnt want to do the work which forced me to file complaint with the corporation, NHTSA, & one other, I've had water problems. This will be taken to a higher legal level due to this is & continues to cause harm, intentional or otherwise. We're advised here not to get personal but mold & mushrooms etc, should not exist in a vehicle. I see this has been an issue with lots of others and nothing done to date. Started in around Oct 2015 (recall repair) & again May 2016.

This investigation was opened on December 30, 2009, based on five consumer reports alleging gasoline fuel leaking from the fuel fill pipe. Some of the complainants indicated the fuel fill pipe had corroded to the point of being perforated, allowing fuel to leak from the pipe. We had this fixed in concord, nh. Now it needs to be fixed again. They say they do not fix it twice. I called last November and Mitsubishi was no help at all. We have only 115, 000 miles on the car.
