I got recall about lower control arms for my Mitsubishi 2009 Lancer. It said that it applies to all cars if exposed for long term to snow melt water and anti-freezing agents. It says in the recall that a detached front control arm can result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of crash. My car was exposed to snow melt and anti-freezing agents for two years in South Korea, one tear in Missouri, and seven years in New York. Oahu dealership refused to help and said that this recall applies to the cars currently located in Japan only. I called NJ dealership where we bought the car and they said that we should bring the car in immediately and they will help with this safety recall. Currently I live on oahu, Hawaii and I don't understand why they refuse to fix the car and ignore this safety recall. Why one dealership said that they will take care of the car and aware of safety recall while other in Hawaii where I currently live, refusing to fix it. Please help
