Poor build quality

This is a nice looking & riding SUV. It's heavy and under powered with the 200 hp V6. It is well equiped and well thought out. The build quality and manufacturer warranty are not acceptable. I have had a few problems: the paint on the lower part of the SUV was peeling/falling off, a part for the anti-lock brake system - it is on it's 3rd one, the aluminum wheels were badly pitted after just on winter. I had to wait more than 3 mo. to get the district service manager to look at the wheels and they were finally replaced. (they are pitting again) Not what I would expect from a $36,000 vehicle.

Average vehicle in its class

The exterior is catchy and the interior is not bad. However the interior is anything but quiet. Any pebble on the road will cause all sorts of noises to emit from the dash area, cup holder, center console and some mysterious noise in the rear that the dealer is unable to locate and fix. Imagine taking this vehicle off-road and the noise is unbearable. Lacks power. V6 is not good enough. Handled fairly well on the snow covered roads in Tahoe. For around the same price range you can get a Sequoia, Land Rover or a Tahoe. Which are better options for the price you pay in comfort, power and resale,

Are These Guys Kidding...?

Like many others, I fell in love with this vehicle at first sight; well, the exterior looks anyway. I have to say that after the exterior appearance, things appear to go down-hill in a hurry. I read several reviews & have to ask all those people, how can you provide a "performance" value of greater than "5", & then state that the vehicle is wholly underpowered? Yep, the gas mileage sucks a bit also, but to be expected in a 6,000 pound vehicle s'porting a whopping 200 HP engine! Breaks are substantially under- achievers if you consider all of the break replacements you'll need. Paint is also a problem. But the interior, that's another story & mostly good.

Long Term Loser!

After 60K + miles and 2.5 years of ownership, this SUV has not earned my confidence as a quality long lasting, reasonably priced vehicle to own. Problems with chipping paint on bottom panels after 2 months and fights with Mitsubishi to warranty/repair it should have been the first red flag. Since then, very poor brake design, pads expensive and require frequent replacement. Other expensive broken items; computer display (replaced 2x and still not able to adjust clock in all temps),elect.antenna, fuel door release, rear wheel lugs (3 thus far, metal too soft), 4wd instrument bulb & oxygen sensors have to be dealer reset ($100) with every drive to Las Vegas!
