Tl*the contact owns a 2006 mitsubishi raider. While driving 40 MPH on dry pavement, the brakes failed and the contact crashed into the preceding vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained minor upper back injuries. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 06v038000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module). The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 53,400.
Vehicle was involved in an serious offset head on crash with a full size chevrolet silverado. The side apron air bag failed to deploy on both sides. Both vehicles were traveling straight on a two lane rural road with a speed limit of 45MPH. Don't know actual vehicle speeds. Chevrolet veered into the opposite lane and struck the mitsubishi raider xls traveling in the opposite direction. I believe the failure of the driver side curtain airbag contributed to the seriousness of the mitsubishi drivers injuries.
Dt*: the contact stated that a recall letter was received for services pertaining to headlights, turn signals and other electrical components that can become inoperative and may cause crashes. The vehicle was taken to dealers for service repairs. No repairs were made by the dealer nor was information provided for a return date for service to the vehicle.
Outside water leaks into passenger side floor board from under dashboard when vehicle is parked on an incline/driveway during wet weather/snow and heavy rain.
