My experience would indicate Mitsubishi designs are one of the more reliable on the market..
Ok, yes I agree, they degrade, however mitsu used inferior capacitors, which degrade too quickly. A good capacitor shouldn't fail that fast. Mitsu saved a buck to give an inferior product that could cause problems. So yes I agree, things wear out, but thats rediculous that brand new these cars were 30-40k+ and mitsu cut corners in areas that didn't even save them that much money.

In the process creating a safety hazard.
