We received a recall notice for our 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer. We no longer have the original warranty that came with this car at the time of purchase. I have talked to Mitsubishi recall center about this very dangerous airbag that has already killed 23 people: Unfortunately, there is not a dealership where I live, so according to the Mitsubishi case worker one of us would have to drive to the dealership in orland ca: Which is approximately 5 hours away/ this car has 130,000 miles on it and can hear a tapping noise when first starting. Because of this noise, my husband feels this car may break down on the way to this dealership. My husband also has a hard time getting time off, "due to the nature of his job, " and I have anxiety and am afraid to drive this car. I also have a hard time driving long distances due to a torn meniscus that I had surgery for in February of 2017. Unfortunately, I am still having problems with this knee and am currently still on disability from this injury. This I have related to the Mitsubishi case manager who was assigned to us. She said that all she can do for us is give us $100 for the cost of gas and she did not offer any other solutions, even after I explained the above to her. Are we really stuck with this offer" can you help us with this" does. I can't believe that they can get away with making people take a risk to fix. They are playing russian roulette with our lives.

I attempted to have the Mitsubishi dealer repair the recalled airbags. They cancelled the appointment I had scheduled (without calling me). I asked them if I could reschedule - they advised they didn't have the parts necessary to complete the work, so they were unwilling to reschedule. I gave them my phone number to call me back. They never did. I tried multiple times to rectify this issue, but was never able to get it fixed. There haven't been any issues with the airbags yet, but I'm unable to get this issue resolved.
