The car is a Mitsubishi Outlander E.S 2008 with 42000 miles on it, and the transmission is not shifting. I contacted Mitsubishi motors but since 10 years passed nothing could be done.I had been surfing internet and there are too many issues related to this type vehicles.

I received a recall notice in December of 2016, that indicated they did not have the parts yet to make the repair but would send a second notice when they were received. I called today7/7/17 seven months after getting the notice and was told they still do not have the parts to mrepair the problem?

I received an interim "important safety recall" letter in December 2016 regarding the wiper link ball joint, potential corrosion and separation causing windshield wipers to stop operating. The letter indicated that no parts were available for the repair and that I would be contacted when the remedy parts were available. Approximately 6 months later, in early June, I received a bright orange "urgent recall repairs" postcard from my dealership about the same issue. I called the dealership, michaud mitsibushi in danvers, MA, and requested an appointment for recall repairs to the wiper system. The service department informed me that no parts were available, and that the postcard was simple a "pre-notification". they had no idea when parts would be available. In the mean time, I'm driving a vehicle whose wipers could fail at any time.
