I have trouble with starting the car repetitive issue needs a recall, the steering wheel needs a recall. The electric windows dont work properly need a recall. Paint job is very faded and should have been recalled as well. I dont understand why there's not already recalls for these safety issues. Please help

This is the second time I have had to replace the catalytic converter. This time both, front left and right bank converters have gone out. I have spoke with several mechanics and all say there is an issue that mitsubishi should look at but they will not.

The door panel on the drivers side pops out, therefore jamming the door in the closed position. The plastic clips or taps seem to be defective and unable to hold the panel in place.
