Mitsubishi Triton: Rust

Asked by Trevor Salisbury

I had rust spotting on my 2013 Mitsubishi Triton within three months of buying it brand new in June 2014. I took it to my dealer and they admitted there was a problem. They put a clay bay over the whole car, but this did not resolve the issue. I took it back, but they assumed no responsibility, and said there is nothing they could do. Two years on I now have rust appearing on top of three door folds and the rust spots have become bigger and more numerous. Has anyone else had this same issue?

There have been other reports of rust in the Triton. When Mitsubishi was approached with a similar problem in 2015, the company offered the owner a full inspection and a Mitsubishi representative present and the promise that it would be rectified in line with the company's warranty. On that basis I would suggest you contact Mitsubishi headquarters direct and request similar action on your vehicle.
