2010 Mitsubishi Lancer 4-DR w/SAB

ALL MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION X MODELS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AYC ACD PUMPS, THIS AFFECTS THE STABILITY AND THE HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE SPECIALLY IN BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS BECAUSE THE SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY IN CASE OF A SLIPPERY OR BAD ROAD. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS PUMPS BEGIN WITH IT'S LOCATION BECAUSE IT RECEIVES DIRT,WATER, SNOW AND OTHER ELEMENTS THAT HARM THE PUMP. THIS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FROM MITSUBISHI BECAUSE IT FAILED DUE TO A BAD DESIGN AND LOCATION OF IT AND IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS FOR DRIVERS SPECIALLY IN BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS, I WILL LIKE THIS CONCERN COULD BE TAKEN IN CONSIDERATION FOR ALL OF US THAT ARE MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION OWNERS, THANKS

WARNING MESSAGE "TOO HOT SLOW DOWN" APPEARS WHEN INCLINING UPHILL IN ABOVE 70 DEGREES (F) AT 45MPH OR MORE. TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO LOSE POWER, DECELERATION OCCURS, TEMPERATURE GAUGE READS NORMAL ON DASHBOARD MENU, VEHICLE TRANSMISSION RUNS ON HIGH RPM ABOVE 3000, TRANSMISSION SOUNDS ARE LOUDER THAN NORMAL, AND WHEN VEHICLE REACHES COMPLETE STOP, VEHICLE WARNING MESSAGE DOES NOT GO AWAY. WHEN VEHICLE IS MANUALLY SHUT OFF, MESSAGE WILL STILL APPEAR. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON TO ELECTRICAL ONLY, MESSAGE WILL STILL APPEAR. AFTER 5 MINUTES OR MORE IN POWER OFF, VEHICLE WILL RESTART LIKE NORMAL, MESSAGE IS CLEARED, AND GAUGES FOR TEMPERATURE AND OIL PRESSURE IS NORMAL RANGE. NO ERROR CODES ARE DISCOVERED WHEN PULLING CODES WHEN ISSUE OCCURS. EMISSIONS IS OKAY AND VEHICLE IS REGULARLY MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO VEHICLE'S SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE PLANS. ISSUE HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT RESPONDED WITH A SUGGESTED RESOLUTION OR ADVISEMENT ON THE ISSUE. *TR

THE MITSUBISHI DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIX ONE OF THE RECALLS BECAUSE IT WAS AN "AFTER MARKET PART". *TR

MY ABS AND ASC LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON FOR A WHILE. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WASNT A PROBLEM, JUST A FAULTY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ONE DAY, I WAS COMING OFF AN EXIT RAMP TRYING TO BRAKE SO I COULD TURN BUT MY BRAKES WOULDNT ENGAGE SO I SLAM ON MY BRAKE AND THEY LOCKED UP AND MY CAR SLID AND CRASHED INTO A MEDIAN. TIRED TO STEER AWAY BUT IT WOULDNT TURN.

I HAD SOME WARNING LIGHTS COME ON FOR THE ASC AND ABS SYSTEMS BEING DISABLED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ABS PUMP WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR OVER $3000. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE OF THE BRUSHES IN THE ABS PUMP STICKING. THAT SAME ABS PUMP IS USED IN SOME BMW AND JEEP MODELS WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. THE ASC AND ABS SYSTEMS SEEM LIKE CRITICAL SAFETY SYSTEMS THAT SHOULD BE COVERED FOR REPAIRS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY UNSTABLE AND 'FOUR WHEEL DRIVE DISABLED' DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NIMAY MITSUBISHI (1011 KENNEDY AVE, KILOMETER 2.5, 787-622-0200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALL WHEEL CONTROL HYDRAULIC UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

HELLO NHTSA, I HAVE A 2011 MITSUBISHI LANCER RALLIART SPORTBACK. I HAVE JUST CAME ACROSS A CRACK IN MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHICH IS CAUSING EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE IF MY WINDOWS ARE UP. I DON'T SEEM TO BE THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR/ENGINE THAT HAS A CRACK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. MY CAR IS NOT MODIFIED IN ANY WAY THAT EFFECTS THE PERFORMANCE THAT COULD CAUSE SUCH A CRACK TO HAPPEN. THIS ALSO APPEARS TO BE THE CASE FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND OTHERS. I HAVE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO MITSUBISHI WHO HAS CONFIRMED THE CRACK AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY OR HOW THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD FROM MY LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP AND THE NEXT CLOSEST ONE THAT THEY CAN REPLACE THE MANIFOLD FOR $2K. I HAVE CONTACTED MITSUBISHI USA WHO HAS TOLD ME THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD SHOULDN'T CRACK AND HAS GOTTEN NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE. THERE ARE SEVERAL THOUSAND POSTS WITH PHOTO PROOF THAT I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE. MITSUBISHI HAS HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THEIR ALL WHEEL DRIVE PUMP WHERE THERE WAS A DEFECT OF SOME SORT AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100,000K. I HAVE ALREADY HAD MY ALL WHEEL DRIVE PUMP FAIL AND REPLACED UNDER THAT WARRANTY. WHEN I SPOKE WITH MITSUBISHI USA A SUPERVISOR NAMED JENNIFER INFORMED ME TO PUT IN A COMPLAINT HERE. SINCE MITSUBISHI HAS NOT HAD ANY INTERNAL TESTING ON THE MANIFOLD GOING THIS ROUTE MAY SPEED THE PROCESS UP. THIS ISSUE IS QUITE SERIOUS SINCE WITH THE CRACK - PHOTO ATTACHED: IT CAUSES CARBON MONOXIDE TO ENTER THE CABIN IF THE WINDOWS ARE UP OR IF THE AC IS ON AND THE CAR IS AT A STAND STILL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

MY COMPLAINT IS ON THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE PUMP/MOTOR ON 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCERS. IV READ ALOT AND TALKED TO ALOT OF PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHERE AT ANYTIME THE CAR ENDS UP HAVING A LOW OR BAD BATTERY, AND OR ANY OTHER ISSUES CAUSING LOWER THEN NORMAL VOLTAGE. IT SENDS A CODE TO THE ABS MODULE CAUSING IT TO FAIL. MAKING YOUR ABS AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON THE DASH. WITH THAT FAILURE IT STORES THE CODE AND EVEN AFTER THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE FIX YOU STILL CAN NOT CLEAR THE ABS/BRAKE CODE. THE ONLY FIX TO GET RIDE OF THE LIGHTS AND TO GET YOUR ABS PUMP/MOTOR WORKING AGAIN IS TO REPLACE IT WITH A BRAND NEW UNIT COSTING ALMOST $3,000 DOLLARS TO MITSUBISHI. HEARING FROM OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE, IT IS A DEFECT FROM MITSUBISHI. THIS PROBLEM OCCURED TO ME WHEN MY CAR WAS IS PARK RUNNING, BUT HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY ( IN MOTION & STATIONARY ) ALSO WITH OUT THIS FIX YOU CANT NOT GET YOUR VEHICAL PASSED IN A STATE INSPECTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2010 LANCER RECALL NUMBER SR-18-003. WHILE DRIVING FROM TEXAS TO CALIFORNIA AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE SERVICE THE SUNROOF BLEW OUT AND RIPPED AWAY AT FROM THE CAR WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH AND IT WAS IN A CLOSED AND LOCKED POSITION. CALLED MITSUBISHI AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT IS SAME MODEL AND YEAR AS THOSE AFFECTED AND HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE THAT WAS STATED IN THE RECALL, DOWN TO THE INCREASED HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE BEING THE PROBABLE CULPRIT FOR THE FAILURE. HAD THAT SUNROOF HIT AND KILLED SOMEONE, THEY WOULD BE FOUND LIABLE I'M SURE AFTER THEY TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THE COURT THAT IT WAS NOT ONE OF THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO COVER THIS FAILURE. I MEAN REALLY.... WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT THE EXACT SAME YEAR AND MODEL WILL HAVE THIS BIZARRE FAILURE AND IT NOT BE PART OF THE SAME "IDENTIFIED" PROBLEM BY THE MANUFACTURER. I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO DETER ANYONE FROM ANY AND ALL OF THEIR PRODUCTS, TO INCLUDE SOCIAL MEDIA BOYCOTTING AND TELLING PEOPLE TO BEWARE AND STAY AWAY FROM THEM. I WILL CALL THE FTC AND MY STATES ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE NEXT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOLTS TO THE I-BEAM CONNECTING ROD BECAME LOOSE AND DAMAGED THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

ON-DASH WARNING LIGHT OF "4WD SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED" CAME ON. THIS WARNING IS INDICATIVE OF A ACTIVE CENTER DIFFERENTIAL (ACD) PUMP FAILURE, GENERALLY DUE TO CORROSION FROM TREATED WINTER ROAD SURFACES AND/OR THE INABILITY TO HANDLE COLD-WEATHER CLIMATES. CAR WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED UNDER A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) TO DELAY ACTIVATION OF THE ACD PUMP FOR THIS EXACT REASON 2 YEARS PRIOR TO FAILURE. MITSUBISHI HAS YET TO CORRECT THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND IS CURRENTLY REFUSING TO HONOR WARRANTY SERVICE OF FAILED PUMPS UNDER THEIR 5-YEAR / 36,000-MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, STATING THAT THE PUMP IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE SAFELY AND PROPERLY. IN CONTRAST, A WORKING ACD PUMP DIRECTLY EFFECTS THE VEHICLE'S HANDLING, TRACTION & STEERING - AND ALL 3 DRIVING PARAMETERS IMMEDIATELY BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS DOWN IN SELF-PROTECTION MODE OR HAS FAILED COMPLETELY. THIS VEHICLE HAS A DRIVER-SELECTED SETTING FOR TARMAC (PAVEMENT), GRAVEL/RAIN & SNOW CONDITIONS - THESE SETTINGS ARE COMPLETELY DISABLED WHEN THE ACD PUMP HAS FAILED, OR IS FAILING (ON-DASH WARNING WITH PUMP IN SELF-PROTECTION MODE). THIS ISSUE EFFECTS SEVERAL MODELS (LANCER, LANCER EVOLUTION, RALLIART, ETC.) FROM MODEL YEAR 2008 TO 2014, AND HUNDREDS OF INSTANCES OF THIS ISSUE HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED IN ONLINE FORUMS (AND PROBABLY SEVERAL-FOLD THAT AMOUNT THAT HAVEN'T BEEN DISCUSSED ONLINE). PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY, THANK YOU.

BAD INJECTOR CAUSED CYLINDER FAILURE OR VALVR CONSTANT VALVE TICK. BLOWN SPARK PLUGS CAUSED PISTON MELTDOWN CAUSING FOR THE PISTONG ROD TO SHOOT THROUGHT THE BLOCK CAUSE A FIRE TO THE ENGINE.. LUCKLY I STOP THE FIRE TOOK IT TO A DELAERSHIP TO VERIFY THE CAUSE OF THE DAMAGE BUT THE TECHNICINAS TOLD ME THAT THERES NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE BATTERY DIE THERE FOR IT RESET THE COMPUTER MODULE ERASING ALL THE DATA WITH THE PROBABLE CAUSE AND NOTHING WAS DONE AFTER THAT.. BOUGHT A NEW ENGINE AND NOW AFTER 20,000 MILES I GET THE SAME ISSUE BUT MITSUBISHI DOSE NOT WANNA BE RESPOSIBLE FOR A REPLACE ENGINE TO WHICH THEY REPLACE.

MY LANCER 2010 HAS ONLY 30,400 ORIGINAL MILES, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT IS ON, STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED BY THE ANTI LOCK LIGHT ON, SOMETIMES THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND TURNS ON WHEN TURNING SHARP RIGHT, AND SOMETIMES THE LIGHT COMES ON WITH THE VEHICLE NOT MOVING. TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER, THEY SAID THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE PUMP IS DEFECTIVE AND SAID IT COSTS $1,800 TO REPLACE AND SAID THE AIR BAG PROBLEM IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY IN PUERTO RICO ALL LANCER OWNERS THAT I KNOW HAVE FRONT WHEEL SENSORS ISSUES ALSO. THE DEALER TOOK CARE OF 3 RECALLS, 1. ENG BELTS AND TENSIONER, 2. ETACS ECU, 3. INTERIOR BLOWER MOTOR AND I NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICES. I HAVE READ A LOT ABOUT THESE DEFECTS AND MANY SAY THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG WILL TURN THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT ON IF THERE IS A DEFECT PRESENT. AND MANY SAY THAT MITSUBISHI REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL THESE ISSUES.

2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER (RED) CLEAR COAT PROTECTION OVER PAINT BEGAN PEELING 3 YEARS AGO. SINCE, THE CLEAR COAT PROTECTION HAS SPREAD FROM HOOD TO ROOFTOP, AND AROUND WINDSHIELD. MANY DISCUSSION THREADS HAVE ADDITIONAL OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY LANCER IS TOTAL WHITE AND THE PAINT IS COMING COMPLETELY OFF BY ITSELF WHERE YOU COULD SEE THE METAL, IT IS LIKE IF THE PAINT NEVER ADHERED TO THE METAL OF THE CAR. THIS IS HAPPENING IN FRONT AND BACK OF THE ROOF, WHERE THE ROOF MEETS THE BACK PANEL, AND ON THE LEDGE OF THE DOORS WHERE THE CRYSTAL GOES IN AND AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FRONT HUT OF THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN A FEW CARS WITH THE SAME COLOR AND WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE SAME PLACES, AND THIS HAPPEN ONLY IN WHITE CARS.

TRANSFER CASE IN THIS CAR OMITS A LOUD WHINING NOISE WHEN DRIVING FORWARD. NOISE INCREASES IN VOLUME THE FASTER THE CAR IS GOING. THIS WHINE IS DUE TO THE WEARING OF THE GEARS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY DESIGN. WHEN THE TRANSFER CASE WHINE HAPPENS, IT HAS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF LOCKING UP WHICH WILL CAUSE ALL WHEELS TO STOP SPINNING POTENTIALLY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY DEATH. *TR

ALL ELECTRICAL SHUTS OFF WHEN CAR TURNS ON. "CHECK!" AND "SERVICE ENGINE!" NOTIFICATIONS APPEAR IN DASH, BUT DISAPPEAR WITHIN SECONDS. CAR CAN BE IDLE OR MOVING WHILE ELECTRICAL PANEL SHUTS OFF. BROUGHT CAR TO MITSUBISHI FOR DIAGNOSIS, SHOWED THEM A VIDEO OF THE DASH AND HEADLIGHTS TURNING OFF AS IF CAR IS STALLING, WHILE RPMS DO NOT REACH ZERO. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM AND SAID I WILL LIKELY PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE IT LOOKED INTO AND FIXED, BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE TO TROUBLE SHOOT ON MY DOLLAR.

ACD C161E WAS READ IN THE ECU. IT'S AYC ACD PUMP FAILURE. I DIDN'T DRIVE HARD. I DROVE NORMALLY WHICH I USUALLY DO. AND 4WD SERVICE REQUIRED COMES ON. I SEARCHED A LOT ABOUT THE ISSUE. MITSUBISHI SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ABOUT THIS ITS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR EVO I READ. *TR

ACTIVE YAW CONTROL PUMP THAT IS PART OF THE CAR'S ALL WHEEL CONTROL SYSTEM IS FAILING. PUMP IS NOT COVERED BY MANUFACTURER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT'S PART OF THE POWER TRAIN. DUE TO LOCATION OF THE PUMP, IT GETS SPRAYED WITH WATER ON THE ROAD. THIS CAUSED THE PUMP TO FAIL PREMATURELY DUE TO CORROSION. *TR

THE ACD / AYC PUMP FAILED. CAN BE DANGEROUS TO LOSE AWD SYSTEM. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN WARMER WEATHER, A WARNING (4WD SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED) IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH AND THE S-AWC AWD SYSTEM IS DISABLED. THE ACTIVE CENTER DIFFERENTIAL AND TORQUE BIASING REAR DIFFERENTIAL ARE DISABLED, WHICH GREATLY REDUCES HANDLING AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO REACT DIFFERENTLY THAN NORMAL IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. THIS IS THE RESULT OF A FAILING ACD/AYC HYDRAULIC PUMP. MITSUBISHI WILL NOT COVER THESE PUMPS UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE PUMPS CORRODE INTERNALLY AND ARE UNABLE TO BUILD AND MAINTAIN PRESSURE. *TR

STARTED UP ONE DAY AND WENT TO DRIVE IT AND THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE PUMP HAD FAILED, CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

INDICATED POSSIBLE CLUTCH FAILURE/CLUTCH PEDAL STICKING ISSUES TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. CLUTCH WENT OUT BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. I WAS CHARGED $2700 OUT OF POCKET FOR A COMPONENT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. I WAS ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL JUST RECENTLY FOR FAULTY CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER ISSUES FOR MITSUBISHI MOTORS. DURING MY ARBITRATION WITH THE DEALERSHIP BACK IN NOVEMBER 2012, THE DEALERSHIP HAD DEEMED THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURER DEFECT, WHEN IN FACT THERE WAS A COMPONENT THAT WAS AFFECTING THE PROPER ENGAGEMENT AND DISENGAGEMENT OF MY CLUTCH. I AM CURRENTLY EXERCISING ALL AVENUES IN SEEKING A REFUND FOR REPAIRS. WHEN I SPOKE WITH MITSUBISHI THEY TOLD ME THAT ITS IS NOT PART OF THE SAME ASSEMBLY WHEN INDEED IT IS; SHARING THE SAME FLUIDS AND LINES THIS COMPONENT WAS THE SOLE FAILURE POINT RESULTING IN MY POWER TRAIN DAMAGE. *TR

THE S-AWC (SUPER ALL-WHEEL CONTROL) LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SAME DAY. MITSUBISHI FLASHED THE ECU AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I RECENTLY NOTICED THE LIGHT BLINKING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED THE PART IS NOT COVERED BY DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT OLDER THAN 3 YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JANUARY 2010; THIS MAKES IT 3 YEARS 10 MONTHS OLD AT TIME OF INCIDENT WITH LESS THAN 36K ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

4WD SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT APPEARED. LIGHTS STAYS ON FOR A FEW DAYS. WENT TO MITSUBISHI DEALER SERVICE AND AWC PUMP HAS FAILED. IM AT 50,000 MILES AND CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD, SO IM WITH IN THE 5YR/60K MILE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY, AND WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER IT. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DRIVETRAIN PROBLEM. LET ALONE IT HAS HAPPEND FREQUENTLY TO THESE CARS. *TR

TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT AND I RECEIVED A "SERVICE AWD SYSTEM" MESSAGE. CAUSED BY THE ACD/AYC PUMP BEING FAULTY WHICH IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AS CORROSION HAPPENS TO THE EXPOSED PUMP. OPTIONS INCLUDE A $2000-3000 REPLACEMENT OF THE PUMP OR REBUILD ONE AND HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN (WHICH MIGHT SINCE IT IS EXPOSED) AGAIN. REALLY HOPE MITSUBISHI RECALLS THIS ITEM SINCE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL EVOLUTIONS. *TR

"ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED" MESSAGE CAM ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CORTESE MITSUBISHI IN ROCHESTER NY WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NEEDED WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANT. UPGRADE WAS PERFORMED AND I WAS INFORMED TO RETURN IF OTHER MESSAGES WERE DISPLAYED AS THE AWC PUMP MIGHT BE FAULTY WHICH WOULD BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 40300M THE TARMAC DISPLAY STARTED FLASHING AND TRACTION CONTROL SETTING COULD NOT BE CHANGED FROM THE AWC SWITCH. RETURNED THE CAR TO CORTESE MITSUBISHI WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE AWC PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2100. AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS INITIALLY INFORMED BY THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE BECAUSE MITSUBISHI CONSIDERS THIS TO BE A "LUXURY" FEATURE. *TR

ON-DASH WARNING LIGHT OF "4WD SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED" CAME ON. THIS WARNING IS INDICATIVE OF A ACTIVE CENTER DIFFERENTIAL (ACD) PUMP FAILURE, GENERALLY DUE TO CORROSION FROM TREATED WINTER ROAD SURFACES AND/OR THE INABILITY TO HANDLE COLD-WEATHER CLIMATES.

MITSUBISHI HAS YET TO CORRECT THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND IS CURRENTLY REFUSING TO HONOR WARRANTY SERVICE OF FAILED PUMPS UNDER THEIR 5-YEAR / 36,000-MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, STATING THAT THE PUMP IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE SAFELY AND PROPERLY. IN CONTRAST, A WORKING ACD PUMP DIRECTLY EFFECTS THE VEHICLE'S HANDLING, TRACTION & STEERING - AND ALL 3 DRIVING PARAMETERS IMMEDIATELY BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS DOWN IN SELF-PROTECTION MODE OR HAS FAILED COMPLETELY. THIS VEHICLE HAS A DRIVER-SELECTED SETTING FOR TARMAC (PAVEMENT), GRAVEL/RAIN & SNOW CONDITIONS - THESE SETTINGS ARE COMPLETELY DISABLED WHEN THE ACD PUMP HAS FAILED, OR IS FAILING (ON-DASH WARNING WITH PUMP IN SELF-PROTECTION MODE). THIS ISSUE EFFECTS SEVERAL MODELS (LANCER, LANCER EVOLUTION, RALLIART, ETC.) FROM MODEL YEAR 2008 TO 2014, AND HUNDREDS OF INSTANCES OF THIS ISSUE HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED IN ONLINE FORUMS (AND PROBABLY SEVERAL-FOLD THAT AMOUNT THAT HAVEN'T BEEN DISCUSSED ONLINE). PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY, THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A BODY REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000. *TR

EVERY MITSUBISHI LANCER EVO X KEEPS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OUR ACD/AYC PUMP FAILURE THAT WILL COST ME/OWNER A STAGGERING 2000 TO 3000 DOLLARS TO FIX. THIS IS CLEARLY SHOW HOW THE PART IS REALLY WEAK AND SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY TO FIX IT. PLEASE HELP US HAVE THE MITSUBISHI PAY FOR THIS CRAPPY PART INCLUDED ON AN EXPENSIVE CAR. HOPE YOU HERE MY VOICE. *TR

"4WD SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED" WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND THAT THE ACD PUMP HAVE FAILED. PAID $3,000 BECAUSE IT'S NOT A WARRANTY PART. WENT ONLINE TO FIND OUT THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM GOING AS FAR BACK AS 2005. IT WAS A DESIGN ISSUE WITH THE ACD PUMP WHERE THE SEAL SHRINKS DURING WINTER ALLOWING DEBRIS TO ENTER THE ACD PUMP SYSTEM. DURING THE SUMMER, THE SEAL EXPAND TRAPPING THE DEBRIS WITHIN CAUSING REGULAR FAILURE OF THE PUMP EVERY 30,000 TO 40,000 MILES. CONSIDERING THEY'VE USED THE PUMP SINCE 2005, MITSUBISHI SHOULD KNOW FULL WELL THE ACD PUMP IS NO GOOD AND SHOULD'VE REDESIGNED IT A LONG TIME AGO. *TR

HAD AN AWD SERVICE WARNING LIGHT COME ON IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR CODED A C161E CODE FOR ACTIVE CENTER DIFFERENTIAL. IT SEEMS TO COME ON WHEN IT IS WARM OUT ABOVE 60 DEGREES. THE CODE IS FOR THE ACTIVE CENTER DIFFERENTIAL PUMP WHICH IS PART OF THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM AND BASICALLY CONTROLS HOW THE CAR SPLITS THE POWER FROM THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS THROUGH THE TRANSFER CASE. FOUND OUT WHEN I WENT TO THE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS ONLY COVERED UNDER THE BASIC 36000 MILE WARRANTY AND IS NOT CONSIDERED PART OF THE POWERTRAIN, EVEN THOUGH IT IS PART OF THE AWD SYSTEM. I WAS ALSO ADVISED IF IT IS THE PUMP, WHICH SEEMS TO BE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THESE CAR, IT WOULD BE $2500 TO FIX, BUT SINCE IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY I WOULD ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COSTS FOR ANY TROUBLESHOOTING AND ANY OTHER PARTS THAT WOULD NEED FIXED OR REPLACED AS WELL. WHILE RESEARCHING ONLINE, SINCE I DON'T HAVE +$2500 TO FIX THIS ISSUE I FIND THAT THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS THAT MITSUBISHI REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF. I HAVE THE CAR KEPT IN A GARAGE AT HOME AND ONLY SITS OUTSIDE WHILE I'M AT WORK AS WELL SINCE I READ THAT THE COLD WEATHER EFFECTS THESE PUMPS AS WELL. I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SINCE THE AWD SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE WITH 37,213 MILES ON IT. AT 43,000 MILES, VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING MALFUNCTIONS WITH THE ALL WHEEL CONTROL SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL HYDRAULIC PUMP. THIS SHOULD BE AN ITEM COVERED UNDER THE 5 YEAR/60,000 MILE WARRANTY, HOWEVER, MITSUBISHI STATES THAT IT IS NOT COVERED, EVEN THOUGH IT IS PART OF THE POWER-TRAIN, AND REQUIRED TO WORK FOR VEHICLE STABILITY AND SAFETY. MITSUBISHI HAS CONTINUED TO REFUSE TO WARRANTY THE PUMP. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE, AND THERE HAVE BEEN DOZENS, MAYBE HUNDREDS OF OTHER CARS WITH THE EXACT SAME MALFUNCTION, MANY OF THESE WERE TURNED AWAY BY MITSUBISHI EVEN WHILE THEY WERE UNDER THE POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 12/6/10 WHEN THE CAR HAD 11,000 MILES ON IT. SOMETIMES WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVS UP BUT THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 25 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2009. THE VEHICLE ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO MITSUBISHI CORPORATE AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTERS SEVERAL TIMES. THE SERVICE CENTERS ADMIT TO KNOWING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT WON'T FIX IT UNLESS THE CAR ACTS UP WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE IT. MITSUBISHI FINALLY AGREED TO TAKE MY CAR IN AND PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL ON 1/11/13 DO TO A RECENT ACCIDENT DUE TO THE CAR DEFECT BUT NO PROMISE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WAS MADE. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR IS WIDELY REPORTED ONLINE...

REQUESTED DEALER TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY A PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE VEHICLE TO BECOME INOPERABLE AT TEMPERATURES OF 20 BELOW ZERO AS DOCUMENTED IN MITSUBISHI TSB-10-13-002. WAS ADVISED BY DEALER AND LATER BY MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER RELATIONS THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY SINCE THE PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED ON THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE. I RECOMMEND THAT THIS TSB BE CONSIDERED FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL IN THOSE PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THE TEMPERATURE REGULARLY GOES TO 20 BELOW ZERO. HAVING A DISABLED VEHICLE AT THAT TEMPERATURE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

DROVE OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WITHIN 5 SECONDS ABS MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS STABILITY CONTROL. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR ABS SENSOR WAS FAULTY DUE TO THE SENSOR NOT BEING SEALED CORRECTLY BY THE MANUFACTURER WHICH LED TO CORROSION AND THE SENSOR FAILING. MITSUBISHI WOULD NOT WARRANTY THIS ITEM EVEN THOUGH ITS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY, MITSUBISHI EVEN HAS A NEW PART NUMBER FOR THE SENSOR. THIS SHOULD OBVIOUSLY BE A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A SMELL OF FUEL EMITTED THROUGH THE VENTS AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY TWENTY MINUTES. THE SMELL BECAME MORE PROFOUND WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS TURNED ON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHEN THE WEATHER WAS HOT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,000. UPDATED 09/18/12

WHILE DRIVING HOME IN 100 DEGREE WEATHER WITH A 3/4 FULL GAS TANK THERE WAS SUDDENLY A STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM THE FRONT AIR CONDITIONING VENTS. THE A/C SYSTEM WAS IN RECIRCULATE MODE. THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG THAT I STARTED TO GET DIZZY. I OPENED ALL THE WINDOWS AND PULLED OVER AT MY FIRST CHANCE TO LOOK FOR A LEAK. I DID NOT FIND ANY LEAKS IN THE ENGINE BAY OR UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I WAS ALMOST HOME SO I STARTED THE CAR TO PROCEEDED HOME. WHILE DRIVING I SMELLED THE GAS FUMES AGAIN, THIS TIME I TURN THE A/C SYSTEM TO FRESH AIR AND THE SMELL WENT AWAY. I THEN TURNED THE SYSTEM BETWEEN FRESH AND RECIRCULATE SEVERAL TIMES AND THE SMALL WAS ALWAYS ON THE RECIRCULATE SIDE. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING VENTING INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR BUT I CAN NOT FIND IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AS SOMEONE COULD BECOME DIZZY OR FAINT FROM THE FUMES AND CRASH. *TR

ABOVE UNIT IS HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. VEHICLE IS NOT SLOWING DOWN AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD BE. A WARNING DISPLAY APPEARS IN THE DASH INDICATING THAT SERVICE IS REQUIRED.THIS PROBLEM WAS DETECTED BY A LOCAL AUTHORIZED DEALER. I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR PART IS UNDER WARRANTY; THEY PLACED AN ORDER AND NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKER SO FAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC STOP, THE CONTACT MOVED THE CLUTCH IN ORDER TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE CLUTCH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

I BELIEVE THE OUTER TIE RODS ON 2008-2012 MITSUBISHI LANCER (ALL MODELS) ARE DEFECTIVE. I HAD THE PASS SIDE FAIL AT 20K MILES., WHICH WAS REPLACED BY DEALER. IT TOOK OVER A YEAR OF DIAGNOSIS, INCREASED NOISES, AND EVENTUAL UNSAFE HANDLING BEFORE THE SECOND ONE- DRIVERS SIDE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED, THIS TIME BY AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. I HAD TO PERSONALLY PAY TO HAVE THE SECOND ONE REPLACED BECAUSE THE DEALER WAS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO REPRODUCE AND REPLACE AFTER NUMEROUS INQUIRIES. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE BALL JOINT UPON REMOVAL FROM THE IDLER ARM, AND THE JOINT IS ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED. SURPRISINGLY, IT DOES NOT EXHIBIT MUCH PLAY WHEN MOUNTED, AND THE BALL JOINT RUBBER LOOKS OK. IT WOULD BE VERY EASY FOR A CURSORY INSPECTION TO COME UP WITH NOTHING, EVEN WHEN THE JOINT IS DANGEROUSLY NEAR FAILING. NOT ONLY DO I BELIEVE THAT THE PART IS PRONE TO FAILURE, BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS SAFE EVEN WHEN NEW. I NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAD UNUSUAL STEERING SINCE I BOUGHT IT, THAT CAUSED IT TO DOG TRACK AND DRIFT IN AND OUT OF LANE. I TRIED A VARIETY OF WAYS TO IMPROVE, INCLUDING NEW TIRES, SOLD BY DEALER, PASSENGER SIDE TIE ROD REPLACED. NONE ADDRESSED THE STEERING ISSUES, UNTIL I REPLACED WITH AFTERMARKET MOOG OUTER TIE RODS AFTER FINDING THE DRIVERS SIDE TIE ROD DEFECTIVE. I HAVE ALSO INQUIRED WITH OTHER OWNERS, SINCE I AM A MEMBER OF A LANCER FORUM. MANY ALSO SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. EITHER THEY HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, OR THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD TODAY WITH TIE RODS THAT ARE DAMAGED OR DESTROYED. CONSIDERING THAT THE FAILURE OF THESE PARTS EVENTUALLY LEADS TO DRAMATIC UNDERSTEER, AND SLIDING OUT OF THE FRONT END, WHILE STABILITY CONTROL DOESN'T ENGAGE, THIS SITUATION COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED A VIDEO OF THE DEFECTIVE PART IN QUESTION. THANKS. *TR

MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE LAST NIGHT AND BURNED UP WHILE TURNED OFF, PARKED AND UNATTENDED. ANOTHER SIMILIAR SITUATION OCCURRED: BOISE --- A VEHICLE RECALL YOU MAY NOT HAVE HEARD ABOUT THAT COULD PUT YOU IN DANGER. IMAGINE YOUR CAR IS PARKED IN YOUR GARAGE AND A FIRE ERUPTS UNDER THE HOOD OF IT -- SPREADING TO YOUR HOME. IT'S A NATIONAL SAFETY RECALL ANNOUNCED BY MITSUBISHI A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT WE FOUND HAS AFFECTED MANY DRIVERS SINCE THEN AND NOW POSSIBLY ONE LOCAL FAMILY. A BOISE HOME CAUGHT ON FIRE LAST MONTH AND FIRE INVESTIGATORS SAY THE CAUSE WAS UNDETERMINED, BUT THEY SAY IT STARTED IN OR NEAR A MITSUBISHI LANCER PARKED IN THE GARAGE -- A CAR THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MITSUBISHI INITIATED THE RECALL OF CERTAIN CROSSOVERS AND CARS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAS ADDED ADDITIONAL VEHICLES TO ITS LIST SINCE THEN. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION SAYS THE VEHICLES CONTAIN A DEFECTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH THAT COULD LEAD TO A FIRE AT ANY TIME, EVEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED-OFF, PARKED AND UNATTENDED. ACROSS THE COUNTRY THERE ARE STORIES ABOUT THE VEHICLES CATCHING ON FIRE. IN MINNESOTA, A 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION PARKED IN AN ATTACHED GARAGE STARTED A FIRE AND BURNED A HOME TO THE GROUND. IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA, A FAMILY LOST EVERYTHING WHEN THEIR HOUSE BURNED DOWN BECAUSE THEIR 2009 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER BURST INTO FLAMES. BOISE FIRE INVESTIGATORS SAY A 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER WAS PARKED INSIDE THE GARAGE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PINPOINT WHERE THE FIRE STARTED BECAUSE THE HOOD OF THE CAR, THE ENGINE AND THE FRONT OF THE GARAGE WERE SO BADLY DAMAGED. THE RECALL INCLUDES MORE THAN 5 VEHICLE MODELS BUILT FROM 2006 TO NOW. MITSUBISHI MOTORS SAYS IT HAS CONTACTED OWNERS TO NOTIFY THEM OF ANY RECALLS. *TT

THE SMELL OF GAS FUMES WHILE DRIVING COMING FROM A 2010 MITSUBISHI EVOLUTION TOURING. THIS HAPPENS EITHER WITH THE AC ON OR OFF, WHILE STANDING IN TRAFFIC OR DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OR DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SMELLS CAUSE IS NOT DETERMINED BY ANY NON-MITSUBISHI MECHANIC NOR A MITSUBISHI MECHANIC. GETTING DIZZY BECAUSE OF THE GAS FUMES COMING FROM THE CAR IS A DANGER TO THE DRIVERS, HIS OR HER COMPANY IN THE CAR AND ANY PERSON ON THE ROAD. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION GSR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, AN EXTREMELY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL EMITTED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME FAILURE; ALTHOUGH THE FIRST TIME THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND THE SECOND TIME THEY SMELLED AN EXTENSIVE FUEL ODOR. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHERE THE FAILURE ORIGINATED AND DID NOT HAVE A REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER. THE CONTACT WAS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE AS THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING 35 MPH. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO ATTEMPT A TURN BUT DID NOT RESPOND AND THE DRIVER ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE. THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO CRASH INTO A GUARDRAIL ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, DAMAGING THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LEFT ARM, RIGHT LEG AND FOREHEAD. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE ARMS, LEGS AND NECK. EMERGENCY MEDICAL PERSONNEL ARRIVED TO TREAT THE INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS HOME AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE COMES ON CONSTANTLY, FIRST THEY FOUND A WIRE ON THE RIGHT BACK TIER, I HAD A NEW TIER PUT ON, THEN SENSOR CAME BACK ON THEY FOUND THAT THE SENSOR WAS LEAKING FROM THE NEW TIRE HAD THAT FIX, WENT BACK 4 DAYS LATER THEY FOUND THE SENSOR LEAKING AGAIN. HAD THAT REPAIR. I HAVE PICTURES ON MY CELL PHONE WHEN SENSOR LIGHT TURNS ON. DATES 10-15-10, 10-18-10, 10-23-10,10-27-10, 10-28-10, 10-29-10, 11-05-10. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2009 PROBLEM STARTED IN APRIL 2010. THE MANAGER AT THE SHOP SAID THE SENSOR WILL PROBABLY NEED AIR AGAIN, HE DID NOT GIVE ME MUCH HOPE! *TR

AFTER ABOUT 6 WEEKS USE, SUN VISORS IN MY NEW 2010 MITSUBISHI LANCER MALFUNCTION DURING USE, DRIFTING DOWNWARD OBSTRUCTING FORWARD VISION. VISORS WERE REPLACED AT DEALER. AFTER 4 TO 6 WEEKS, AGAIN THE NEW VISORS DRIFT DOWNWARD WHEN IN USE, OBSTRUCTING VISION. WHEN DRIVING TOWARD THE SUN, DRIVER MUST HAVE ONE HAND HOLDING THE VISOR IN POSITION AND OTHER HAND ON STEERING WHEEL - DANGEROUS TO SHIFT GEARS OR USE TURN SIGNALS. AT THIS POINT MITSUBISHI SEEMS UNINTERESTED IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. *TR
