TOKYO -- Struggling Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors Corp. reaffirmed its commitment to the
U.S. market Friday, saying it had no intentions of exiting that market.

The Tokyo-based automaker, which has a car plant in Normal, Ill., denied in a statement that it
had ever pursued such a possibility and called "groundless" a report in The Wall Street Journal
that said it was seeking a buyer for its U.S. operations.

Mitsubishi Motors has announced several revival plans in recent years. It has been hurt by
disclosures that it had systematically hidden auto defects from the authorities that spanned
decades at the company.

The scandal emerged in 2000 but resurfaced last year, and Mitsubishi Motors vehicle sales have
plunged in Japan.

DaimlerChrysler AG of Germany, which had initially been part of its turnaround effort, decided
to end additional financing last year. Mitsubishi Motors has received cash infusions from the
Mitsubishi group of companies to fund its comeback.

Mitsubishi Motors is expecting a group net loss for the year ending March 31 of 472 billion yen
($4.5 billion), but is planning to return to profit by the fiscal year ending March 2007.

I'd be interested to hear of any common problems with Magnas that
would cause a recall......do you know of any?

BTW, if you coul tell me about all the recalls that Holden and Ford
have had, I'd also be interested.

When you write something as ridiculous as
"Explains why they have less recalls than holden and ford, they are
better at covering them up."

What do you expect?

Mitsubishi Magna AWD & Verada AWD (SD2004-GC28-047)


Date: 10/08/2004

Category: Motor Vehicles

Product Info: Mitsubishi TJ Magna AWD & KJ Verada AWD (SD2004-GC28-047)

general public inquiry phone number on 1300 13 12 11.

Make: Mitsubishi

Model: TJ Magna AWA & KJ Verada AWD

Consequences: Brake pedal travel will increase and effectiveness of the
service brakes is reduced, resulting in increased stopping distance.
