Back View

As you can see, the corrosion problem isn't limited to the roof and trunk. Areas exposed to direct sunlight apparently fare worse. As time wears on, the problem worsens. Yet, Mitsubishi in a letter to me said that it would not cover a repainting because the vehicle has passed its three-year/36,000-mile warranty period. Which presents an interesting catch 22: if it takes four years for the problem to manifest itself, how can Mitsubishi ever be responsible for repainting these defective vehicles under a 3-year warranty.
How convenient!
