2006 Mitsubishi Raider problems
The Mitsubishi Raider is a pickup truck from Mitsubishi Motors that debuted in the fall of 2005 as a 2006 model for the United States market and is based largely on the Dodge Dakota. The name is recycled from the Dodge Raider SUV sold from 1987 to 1990, which was a rebadged Mitsubishi Montero.
The Raider filled the gap in the Mitsubishi lineup since the discontinuation of the Mighty Max in 1996. Though Mitsubishi was still building their own Triton at the time, it would have been subject to the chicken tax, while an American-built pickup was not. Chrysler manufactured the Raider alongside the Dakota at their Warren Truck Assembly plant in Warren, Michigan, but they were sent to Normal, Illinois, for installation of some Mitsubishi-specific parts and for distribution. Engine choices had included a 4.7 L PowerTech V8 making 230 hp (172 kW) and 290 lb⋅ft (393 N⋅m) and a 3.7 L PowerTech V6 which produced 210 hp (157 kW) and 210 lb⋅ft (285 N⋅m), though by the 2008 model year, only the 3.7 L V6 was available.
Early sales were disappointing, at only one tenth of the Dakota's. As Mitsubishi dealers reportedly had a six-month supply of Raiders on their lots the company was obligated to request that DaimlerChrysler cut production. 9,861 Raiders were built in 2005, and just 297 more were built from the first of the year through March 11, 2006. New for 2006 was the "slammed" DuroCross version, which has lower suspension and an aggressive body kit. The DuroCross had a low payload, of only 1,180 lb (540 kg) and lost most of its off-roading abilities. Approximately 8,200 Raiders were sold in 2007.
A concept truck was rebadged as the Street Raider and designed by Mitsubishi's California design studio. It first appeared at the 2005 SEMA automotive show and since then has been shown at various automotive shows around the United States. It includes 22 inch custom wheels, custom dual exhaust, and a lowered stance among other features not found on a stock Raider. The Street Raider carries a mooted price tag of $60,000, although there are no current plans to sell it.

Common 2006 Mitsubishi Raider problems
The Mitsubishi Raider, produced in 2006, has been reported to have several common problems by its owners. This article will discuss these issues in detail.
- Transmission Gets Stuck in Gear
One of the most common issues with the 2006 Mitsubishi Raider is the transmission getting stuck in gear, specifically in second gear. However, it is essential to address this problem promptly, as it could potentially lead to more severe transmission issues if left unresolved.
- Clunk or Popping Noise from Intermediate Steering Shaft
Another common problem reported by Mitsubishi Raider owners is a clunk or popping noise coming from the intermediate steering shaft. This noise can be disconcerting for drivers and may indicate a problem with the steering system. While some owners have reported that this issue may be normal, it is still recommended to have it inspected by a professional to ensure there are no underlying issues that could lead to more severe problems down the line.
- Cam Sensor Failure
Some Mitsubishi Raider owners have reported issues with the cam sensor, which can cause the vehicle to stall or die unexpectedly. This problem may require multiple trips to the dealership to diagnose and fix, as it can be challenging to replicate the issue in a controlled environment. In some cases, the dealership may provide a loaner vehicle while the Raider is being repaired.
- Noise When Turning the Wheel
Several Mitsubishi Raider owners have reported a noise when turning the wheel, which may be described as a creaking, popping, or tapping sound. This issue may be more noticeable when turning the wheel all the way or too hard. While some owners have assumed this noise is normal, others have reported that it may indicate a problem with the suspension or steering system.
- Leaks
Leaks are another common problem reported by Mitsubishi Raider owners. These leaks may be located under the windshield, below the wipers, or from either the passenger or driver side door. In some cases, these leaks may have soaked the floors and caused corrosion on the rear door. While some leaks may be resolved by replacing the rubber or resealing the windshield, others may require more extensive repairs.
In conclusion, the 2006 Mitsubishi Raider has several common problems that owners have reported. These issues include transmission problems, clunking or popping noises from the intermediate steering shaft, cam sensor failure, noise when turning the wheel, and leaks. While some of these issues may be normal for certain vehicles, it is essential to address them promptly to ensure the longevity and safety of the vehicle.

- VIN: 1Z7HT32N46S
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: Hi- We have been trying to get our Mitsubishi Raider 2006 recall for an exploding sharp metal pieces that can cause death fixed with zero help. We have been without a car for over one year due to being ignored by Mitsubishi Corporate and our closest Mitsubishi Cutter Dealership. We live on an island in Hawaii that does not have a dealership so car must be shipped to Oahu to be repaired. Talked to manager at Cutter Mitsubishi many times and she said it’s Mitsubishis problem to figure out. Mitsubishi Corporate has been contacted at least 4 times with nobody contacting me back. Case worker [XXX] has completely ignored my case. Called recall number and have filed 5 cases now with no response. I will have to file a lawsuit to get help. Can someone please call [XXX] @ [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
