 This vehicle last ran when parked, about 2 years ago due to total brake pressure failure. The brakes have not been repaired. Last State inspection (PA) was 10/12. When parked, the engine consumed oil, the air conditioning blew warm air, the weatherstripping was leaking, and the intermittent feature of the wipers was not working. The in-dash fog lights button is stuck in the ON position, so the fog lights went on and off with the headlights. These things have not been repaired.

The engine barely cranks using a 200 Amp charge from a battery charger. The battery is probably dead, and the gas is probably stale. There is a crack in the windshield, a dent in the driver's door, and there are rust holes starting in the rear wheel wells. Before parking, a remanufactured engine head, a remanufactured power control module, and a remanufactured fuel pump relay were installed. The engine block was not milled when the remanufactured engine head was installed.

The old engine head, fully assembled with all camshafts and valve parts, another PCM/ECU and another fuel pump relay are included. This PCM/ECU may be for an automatic or a V-6, which this vehicle does not have, however the metal "core" can be exchanged or remanufactured for this vehicle. Some lug studs and lug nuts are also included.

There is a wire supporting a broken air dam mount. The interior is showing heat stress, although it's intact down to the floor mats. The spare, jack, and lug wrench are stowed properly in the hatchback. The clutch and transmission were fully operable before parking. 2 ignition keys are included along with the title .

I titled this vehicle in January of 2009, when I bought it from my uncle. At that time, it showed 142,000 miles. The parts previously mentioned were installed around that time. New/remanufactured ignition parts (spark plugs, wires, and distributor assembly) and new tires were installed sometime later. The tires measure about 3/16 to 1/4 inch deep in the centers of the treads. An invoice for the remanufactured PCM/ECU shows April of 2011.

Feel free to contact seller for pictures of the vehicle's passenger side, rear interior, and engine compartment.

I have not added air to the tires in about 2 years and the tires are still inflated. A riding lawn mower was able to tow the vehicle in and out of its parking spot, on the paved driveway where the vehicle has been parked. The towing was on the 08/21/2014, for pictures. There was little to no slack in the steering when the vehicle was on the road. There is compressed air on seller's premises, in case buyer tows using a car dolly.

This vehicle has automatic upper seat belts for both front seats, which were fully functional when the vehicle was parked.

The winning bidder (buyer) must tow the vehicle from seller's premises at buyer's own expense. Repairs or maintenance work is not allowed on seller's premises. This could be a good project for anyone into the DSM body style, similar to the Eagle Talon and the Plymouth Laser.

Payment in full, and vehicle pick up, are both due within 7 days auction end. Vehicle must be removed from seller's premises at time of payment.

This vehicle must go, and will go. I no longer drive, and it's parked in my parent's driveway!

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander GT

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

I'm not a gambling man, but if there were a pool for an automotive death watch, my money would be on Mitsubishi... Lincoln is a close second. To understand the plight of Mitsubishi, you only have to look at its current lineup; they all just look, feel and drive about 10 years older than they really are. With the departure of the Endeavor and merciful killing of the Eclipse (the Galant lives on, but is on hiatus for the 2013 model year), one of the worst remaining offenders is the Mitsubishi Outlander, which I recently drove in top-level GT trim for this Quick Spin.
If we had a time machine and took the 2013 Outlander GT back to 1998, it would be revolutionary. If we could take it back to 2004, it might be near the top of its class. But in the current highly competitive crossover segment of today, the Outlander just falls short. Yes, the all-new 2014 Outlander is on its way later this year, but from what we've seen both inside and out, the new design would look great in 2008. That being said, spending a week with any vehicle can point out surprising highs as well as lows, and there are still plenty of reasons to enjoy Mitsu's midsize CUV.

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport models with leather seats recalled over airbag fears

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Mitsubishi is recalling 733 of its 2013 Outlander Sports that were fitted with leather seat covers due to problems with the seat-mounted airbags. Apparently, the wiring for the airbags may have been routed incorrectly when the seat covers were installed at the port.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, the issue only really crops up if owners adjust the height of the seats. Naturally, if the seat wiring is damaged, the airbag may not deploy in the event of a side impact.
The affected vehicles were all manufactured between July 20, 2012 and May 29, 2013. There have been no reported injuries or accidents due to this issue. Mitsubishi, meanwhile, will begin notifying owners, who will need to report to their local dealer for free inspections or repairs. Take a look below for the bulletin from NHTSA.
