Tl contact owns a 1995 mitsubishi 3000gt vr4 spyder. The contact stated that the abs bulb burned out. After several near crashes, it was discovered that there was failure with the anti lock braking system.
Fluid was discovered leaking from the transfer case on my 1995 3000gt spyder vr-4 on june 19 2006. I found a recall for this on automotive.com. I contacted libertyville mitsubishi and was told that my vehicle identification number did not qualify for the recall. They could not tell me why it did not qualify.
I own a 1995 mitsubishi 3000gt spyder vr4, and I have had problems with the seat belts failing to retract. The seat belt has too much slack, and does not retract when either buckled or not buckled. This is a serious problem that needs to be attended to.
