About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
I had purchased a new Mitsubishi gallant 2003 two weeks before being involved in a hit and run from the rear on the highway. Because I was struck from the rear, my seat must have jolted and ultimately broke so that I was in the lay down position. If I had someone in my backseat, I would've crushed their legs. If I were on a city street with only one hand on the wheel (as most people drive these days) I could've hurt myself more seriously or someone else. This seems like it's a major issue and should be addressed. Not safe. I will never purchase another Mitsubishi product again in my life. I have no faith in this product.
