ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY:RELAY

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Outlander, 2015-2016 Lancer and Outlander Sport, and 2015 Lancer Evolution vehicles. These vehicles may have defective relays that can result in an engine stall, reduced engine power or the engine overheating.

Campaign: 17V609000

ENGINE

Needs a new motor. I know other 2015 Mitsubishi lancers were recalled for the same reason and this one should be also.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I was working on my 2015 Mitsubishi this weekend when i noticed how bad the rear subframe is rusted away. It actually has a crack along it from rusting. I do know there was a recall on the from crossmember for the same exact reason. If that were to break it could be fatal on a highway. I am currently trying to figure out what to do now since it is very unsafe.

STRUCTURE

The rear crossmember subframe is rusted out very badly, and has all the rear axel and components attached to it. This is very unacceptable for car that cost nearly 40 grand.

SEAT BELTS,ENGINE

About 3 weeks ago I notice that the driver seat belt didn’t wanted to click to fasten the seat belt. I notice for sometime now that the car sometimes. Kind of stall then you have to step on the gas pedal to proceed and I’m afraid someone will hit me from the back because it doesn’t go when it’s suppose to also like when you turn it stalls and then you give it gas and it goes then

POWER TRAIN

Without any prior warning lights or issues with the car. While i drove to work, about 10-15 miles away or 20 min drive, i came to a stop at a red light and when it turned green the car could not get into 2nd gear and would juts rev mostly in place. First gear didnt really have any pull. After a few seconds it finally took second gear but it jerked the car off causing it to stop very suddenly and thats when the service transmission light came on. I was stuck at the light for at least 5 minutes, can’t imagine that happening on the highway. I took the car to the dealership they said they found a code P183D which basically means i need a new transmission. This car has barely 90,000 miles and they are quoting me over $15,000 just for the parts. They privided me with a TSB which list my car as a year and model with known issue but told me the repairs are not covered by the manufacturer.

POWER TRAIN

THE AYC/ACD PUMP ON MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING. VEHICLE ON HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT. THE FAILURE OF THIS PUMP IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE EVOLUTION X PLATFORM. THERE IS CURRENT RECALLS FOR OTHER EVOLUTION X YEARS THAT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2015 MODEL. THE FAILURE IS DO IN PART TO CORROSION CAUSED BY THE LOCATION OF THE PUMP AND THE ABILITY FOR WATER, SNOW AND SALT TO GET ON AND INTO THE PUMP. MY CAR IS FROM THE NORTHEAST WHERE SALT IS A COMMON THING IN THE WINTER. I BELIEVE THIS HAS CAUSED THE FAILURE.

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE WITH 200 MILES ON IT AT 700 MILES TOOK IT IN FOR LATCHES AND RATTLES. SINCE THAT HAIR EVERY 8K MIKES IT NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH AT 22K MILES MADTER SLAVE FAILED TRANSMISSION STARTED TO GIVE OUT AT 28K MILES. PLEASE REVIVE SAWC EVERY 1,000 MILES I'VE OWNED THAT CAR MITSUBISHI STATED NO PROBLEMS FOUND AT THIS TIME. BUT IT WAS VERY NOTICEABLE ONCE DRIVEN. I WORKED FOR ELDER MITSUSHITTY AND THEY REFUSED MY WARRANTY SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH CASH IN MY BANK ACCOUNT TO COVER THE COST OF A REPAIR IF THE WARTY DIDN'T COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY FOR SOME REASON I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WOULDN'T OF. SO I HAD TO REPOSSESS THIS CAR DUE TO THE ISSUES AND CAR MAX PURCHASED IT AND MISSION MITAUBISHI COULD NOT DIAG IT EVEN THOUGH CARMAX TOOK IT IN FOR THE TRANSMISSION POPPING OUT OF 4TH GEAR. I AM THE ONLY 2015 MITAUBISHI CERTIFIED SALES ASSOCIATE IN AUSTIN TEXAS. AND THE DEALERSHIP NEGLECTED MY CONCERNS SO I HAD TO REPO MY VEHICLE AND QUIT DUE TO REPAIRS HEY WHERE TRYING TO FORCE ME TO PURCHASE ANOTHER AND ROLL OVER 20K UPSIDE DOWN THEY SOLD A STOLEN EVO FOR MSRP OF MY USED CAR. THIS EVO KILLED ME AND NO ONE KNEW HOW TO SIMPLE WORK. CARFAX HAS YET TO SELL IT SINCE MISSION MITAUBISHI COULD NOT DIAG SOMETHING I COULD, OR CARMAX. ALSO CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT 6 TIMES DUE TO CAR SMELLED LIKE RAW FUEL DUE TO FUEL LEAK 3 TIMES TAKEN TO SERVICE IN 3 YEARS. MECHANIC FREAKED OUT FROM THE SMELL WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE FUEL LEAK. I MEMORIZED THE VIN FROM HOW MANY TIMES I TOOK IT INTO SERVICE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

WHEN YOU GO TO YOU PRESS ON THE GAS IT STARTS TO STALL OUT. THIS STARTED 24 HOURS AFTER I DRIVE OFF FROM USED CAR LOT. AND UPON FURTHER REVIEW, IT DID HAVE A RECALL AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. HOWEVER IT'S DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES.ITS DANGEROUS AND I HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO GETTING HIT BECAUSE THE CAR STALLS OUT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

WHEN I ACCELERATE THE CAR STALLS.AND THEN IT JERKS WHEN YOU DO ACCELERATE AND THIS MORNING IT STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND I ALMOST GOT HIT I HAVE CONTACTED THE USED CAR LOT THAT I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS AND I'VE CALLED IN 24 HOURS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IT'S DANGEROUS.IN THIS HAPPENS IN SUBDIVISIONS IT HAPPENS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY TIME YOU GO TO ACCELERATE THE CAR JERKS AND THEN ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL OUT AND THEN THIS MORNING.
