This information was reconstructed from memory. i wrote a letter to nhsta in 1995. though i no longer own the car (i sold it in april 2000) i am entering this data at this time, because of today's press release regarding the mitsubishi coverup. i hope this will assist nhsta in it's investigation against mitsibushi. please check back files for copies of documents submitted with my 1995 letter. debbie ryan | |||
