What owners report
MITSUBISHI HAS MADE RECALLS ON THE '99 3000GT CONCERNING THE OIL ENGINE TRANSFER IN THE CRANK CASE IN THERE VR ENGINES; HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STEMS IN MOST 3000GT ENGINES INCLUDING MINE. THEY DENY THAT RESULT. WHEN CRANKING, THE ENGINE DOESN'T CONTAIN OIL WHICH HAS DRAINED BACK INTO THE OIL PAN.
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR4 MODEL. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE WHEELS LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE SLID TO A STOP AS IF IT HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V143001 (POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4WHEEL DRIVE)) HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN PERFORMED AT 50,000 MILES. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT OBLIGATED TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR AGAIN. THE CONTACT FELT AS IF HE HAD WHIPLASH IN HIS NECK AND BACK, BUT HE HAS NOT YET SEEN A DOCTOR. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 93,000.
I HAVE A 1999 MISTUBSIHI 3000GT VR4 AND THE SEAT BELT TENSION SPRINGS DO NOT RETRACT OR LOCK-UP LIKE I BELEIVE THEY SHOULD. MY CAR HAS DONE THIS SINCE PURCHASED IN 2003, AND I'VE HAD AN INCEDENT WHERE THE LOCK SHOULD HAVE ENGAGED WHEN HARD BREAKING, BUT THE BELT DID NOT. ALSO, WHEN I EXIT THE VEHICLE I NEED TO FEED THE BELT BACK INTO THE SLOT BECAUSE THE SPRING IS TOO WEAK TO PULL IT IN LIKE EVERY OTHER CAR I'VE OWNED. MANY OTHER 3000GT OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH BELT SPRINGS FAILING IN CAR CLUBS FOR THE 3000GT. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS SAFETY HAZARD WITH MITSUBISHI.*AK
I PURCHASED MY 99 MITSUBISHI 3000GT USED AND IT'S SEAT BELT HAS RARELY WORKED. I SOLD MY 94 MITSUBISHI 3000GT WHICH HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING THE BELT ALWAYS BECOMES SLACK AND DOESN'T RETRACT. *JB
SEAT BELTS IN MY '99 MITSUBISHI 3000GT FAIL TO RETRACT AND TIGHTEN THEMSELVES AUTOMATICALLY. THIS SLACK IN MY SEAT BELTS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THEY WOULDN'T BE EFFECTIVE IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW MANY 3000GT OWNERS WHICH HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *NM
