THE CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT. FROM STOP TO ABOUT 40 MPH, THE SHIFTING FEELS LIKE DOESN'T WANT TO GO INTO GEAR. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. THE CAR SEEMS TO SHIFT A LOT BETTER AT HIGHER RPMS; PROBABLY DUE TO LESS OF A SYNCHRONIZATION PROBLEM. MISS SHIFTS CAUSE DELAY IN ACCELERATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
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

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION (REAR WHEEL WELL) AND DESIGN OF MITSUBISHI'S ACTIVE CENTER DIFFERENTIAL PUMP, THEY ARE PRONE TO FAILURE. SEVERAL FACTORS AID IN THE GALVANIZED CORROSION OF THE PUMP'S INTERNAL PLATE, SOME OF WHICH INCLUDE TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATION AND WEATHER. VEHICLES THAT ARE IN SERVICE THROUGHOUT THE SNOW BELT STATES IN THE US AND WELL INTO CANADA SEEM TO BE THE MOST AFFECTED. MY VEHICLE WAS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WARRANTY RANGE FOR TIME BUT VERY WELL INSIDE THE RANGE FOR MILEAGE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ACTIVE CONTROL DIFFERENTIAL (ACD) WHICH IS ACTUATED BY THE ACD HYDRAULIC PUMP. THE ACD IS A PART OF THE VEHICLE'S ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM. AFTER GIVING THE ENGINE AN 8 MINUTE WARM UP ON IDLE, THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A 20F OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. THE VEHICLE WAS ON A STOP LIGHT, AND UPON GENTLY ACCELERATING THE CAR ON GREEN LIGHT A WARNING LIGHT CAME UP ON THE VEHICLE'S DASH BOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE NEAREST MITSUBISHI SERVICE SHOP 4 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT WITH THE WARNING LIGHT STILL ON THE VEHICLE'S DASH BOARD. AFTER SERVICE TECHNICIAN WORKED ON THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THE ACD PUMP IS THE PROBLEM WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WILL COST $2100 OF PARTS AND LABOR. 8 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THE MITSUBISHI SERVICE SHOP RE-FLASHED MY VEHICLE'S ALL WHEEL DRIVE ECU TO SPECIFICALLY PREVENT THE FAILURE OF THE PUMP ESPECIALLY IN COLD ENVIRONMENTS. MITSUBISHI REPLACED THE ACD PUMP AT MY EXPENSE, AND IT'S BEEN APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS THAT MY VEHICLE IS ON THE REPLACEMENT PUMP. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE COMBINATION OF THE HYDRAULIC FLUID BECOMING THICK ON COLD WEATHER AND THE CORROSION ON THE HYDRAULIC PUMP THAT THE SALTED WINTER ROADS BRING IS WHAT MAKES THE ACD PUMP FAIL. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET CAR FORUMS, THIS OCCURRENCE WHERE THE ACD PUMP FAILS ON COLDER REGIONS IS NOT UNCOMMON EVEN WITH THE PREVIOUS GENERATIONS OF THIS VEHICLE THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH THIS ACD SYSTEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY CAR BEGAN TO HAVE A FLASHING ACTIVE YAW CONTROL LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AYC/ACD PUMP WAS FAILING DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE AWD STOPS FUNCTIONING, SO THE CAR IS NOW IN TWO WHEEL DRIVE MODE. MITSUBISHI MOUNTED THE AYC PUMP IN THE REAR FENDERWELL AREA WHERE IT IS OPENLY EXPOSED TO THE WINTER ELEMENTS SUCH AS SNOW, SALT AND SAND. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND THE DEALER I WENT TO HAS DONE ABOUT 6 CARS IN THE LAST MONTH OR SO JUST FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALER FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS VERY HELPFUL AND WAS GOING TO REPLACE THE PUMP UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WHEN WAS DENIED THE REQUEST DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE HAD HAD A "TUNE" ON IT. SO, THE PUMP WILL HAVE TO BE REPAIRED AT COST TO MYSELF. THE REASON I AM BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION IS BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY APPARENT DESIGN FLAW. PLACING A CRITICAL PART LIKE THIS PUMP OPENLY EXPOSED TO SNOW, SALT AND SAND THROWN UP BY THE TIRES WHICH IN TURN CORRODES THE PUMP, IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS STOPS THE AWD TO FUNCTION AND RENDERS THE CAR TO BE ONLY DRIVEN IN TWO WHEELED DRIVE MODE WHEN THE CAR IS IN FACT, DESIGNED FOR ALL WHEEL DRIVE. THERE ARE SO MANY WELL DOCUMENTED CASES OF THIS PROBLEM, AT SOME POINT IN TIME, MITSUBISHI WILL HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AND DO SOMETHING TO MITIGATE THE SEVERE CORROSION OF THE AYC PUMP.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
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. *TR

STARTED MY CAR 1N 30 DEGREE WEATHER AND LET IT IDLE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES PULLED OUT ON MY STREET WHERE I LIVE AND MY ACD/AYC QUIT WORKING I HAD A PICTURE OF ALL FOR WHEELS ON MY INFO CENTER WITH THE FRONT WHEEL ON AN ANGLE . TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID MY ALL WHEEL DRIVE PUMP WAS BAD AND THAT SINCE MY CAR IS AN EVO IT WAS NOT COVERED.I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED AND GOT MY CAR BACK AND MY TIMING CHAIN BROKE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED ALSO SINCE IT WAS AN EVO 3500.00 IN 1 MONTH. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
THE S-AWC OR SUPER ALL WHEEL CONTROL SYSTEM ON THE MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION HELPS THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE TO ACTUALLY WORK. I HAD A SERVICE MESSAGE POP UP ON MY CAR WITH THE S-AWC SYSTEM BEING INDICATED. AFTER REVIEWING THE CAR'S MANUAL AND THE INTERNET TO HELP DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE OF WHY IT WAS CAUSING IT, I'M TOLD THERE IS AN EVER-INCREASING NUMBER OF VEHICLES WITH THIS S-AWC PUMP FAILURE EITHER IN SUPER COLD CONDITIONS OR VERY HOT CONDITIONS. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THE PUMP ENDS UP GOING OUT WHEN SOMEONE IS MAKING A TURN OR IS RELYING ON THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE TO ACTUALLY WORK IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS. THE ONLY NOTABLE CHANGE IS A DIFFERENCE IN STEERING FEEL AND THE SERVICE MESSAGE POPPING UP AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF DRIVING, THOUGH DUE TO SAFETY REASONS, I AM TRYING NOT TO PUSH THE CAR TOO HARD UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED. *TR

AWC PUMP STARTED TO FAIL. IT IS NOW COMPLETELY FAILED AND NOT WORKING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH DETERMINED THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES DUE TO NOT BEING SEALED PROPERLY AND CORROSION GETTING IN TO DAMAGE THE PUMP MOTOR.

THE CAR IS DISPLAYING AN S-AWC SERVICE LIGHT, IT HAS YET TO BE DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN PREVIOUSLY FOR THE SAME ISSUE. LOOKING ONLINE THERE IS A WHOLE MASS OF FORUMS STATING THAT AT 40,000+ MILES THE AYC PUMP BREAKS. THIS SEEMS RATHER SUSPECT GIVEN SO MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITHIN THE SAME TIME SPAN. MITSUBISHI HAS BEEN REPORTEDLY TURNING DOWN WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THIS UNDER THEIR POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY, WHILE I AM UNSURE IF THEY WILL DO THE SAME FOR ME, THE ISSUE IS SEEMINGLY PREVALENT ENOUGH THAT THEY SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. *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.

SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ON MONDAY 2013 APRIL 22 I [XXX] (OWNER OF VEHICLE) WAS GETTING OFF MY SHIFT AT APPROXIMATELY 0700 HOURS FROM BETHEL TWP PD; WHERE I WORK AS A PATROLMAN. THE TEMPERATURE WAS FAIRLY MILD 60-65F, I STARTED MY 2008 MITSUBISHI EVOLUTION 10 TO LET IT WARM UP LIKE I ALWAYS HAVE FOR APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES. I PUT MY EVO IN GEAR AND ON THE CENTER L.E.D. SCREEN I RECEIVED THE C161 MESSAGE WHICH INDICATES S-AWC FAILURE OR SUPER ALL WHEEL CONTROL. THIS EFFECTS EVERYTHING WITH THE CARS' SUSPENSION STABILITY, YAW CONTROL, AND THE "SMART BREAKING" FEATURE. FOR AN UN-EXPERIENCED DRIVER THIS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. KNOWING THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS I WAS FORCED TO BRING THE CAR TO SPRINGFIELD MITSUBISHI IN SPRINGFIELD, PA. 1(484)574-8434. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A $2132.00 BILL AND THE CAR IS STILL IN THE LOT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE $2132.00 TO "SHELL" OUT. I WENT TO TWO SEPARATE FORUMS WWW.EVOXFORUMS.COM AND WWW.EVOLUTIONM.NET, AND I DON'T KNOW WHATS SCARIER THE THOUSANDS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND ARE TOLD BY THEIR LOCAL DEALER ITS SAFE TO OPERATE IN THAT CONDITION OR THE FACT THAT NO BODY IS DOING ANYTHING TO ASSIST OR FIX THE PROBLEM. PLEASE BE THE ONES WHO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE HERE..... THANK YOU [XXX] PS I APOLOGIZE I AM WRITING YOU AGAIN, I NEVER RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE THE FIRST TIME....... INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY USED EVO X WITH 30,000 MILES AND A 5 YR/ 60,000 MILE WARRANTY, I NOTICED A PUDDLE OF FLUID ACCUMULATING WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I SOON DID RESEARCH TO DETERMINE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. I LEARNED MY AYC/ACD PUMP IS LEAKING, AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATING IT TURNS OUT THIS PUMP IS NOTORIOUS FOR LEAKING AND FAILING. THE MITSUBISHI DEALER DENIED MY WARRANTY CLAIM AND I WAS NEVER GIVEN A REASON, EVEN AFTER ASKING WHY. I HAVE SINCE THEN CONTACTED A THIRD PARTY DISPUTE CENTER. THIS PUMPS THE NECESSARY FLUID TO THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE ASSEMBLIES. IF THIS PUMP FAILS, IT WILL ULTIMATELY DESTROY THE ENTIRE DRIVE TRAIN/ ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM. RESULTING IN IT LOCKING UP, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO CAUSE THIS PART TO BE FAULTY, UNLESS IT IS DAMAGED, THEREFORE IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD BE REPLACED OR FIXED TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF ITS DRIVER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, STEERING
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

SATURDAY MORNING I WARMED UP MY CAR FOR 5 MINUTES. STARTED TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS, AWD SERVICE REQUIRED POPPED UP ON MY DISPLAY. I STOPPED THE CAR AND BROUGHT IT BACK HOME. LOOKED UP WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE ACD PUMP HAS FAILED. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FROM MITSUBISHI FOR THESE CARS AND THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR REAL FIX. WITHOUT THE ACD PUMP FUNCTIONING, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE CAR CAN LOSE TRACTION IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS OR DAMAGE THE ENTIRE DRIVETRAIN SYSTEM. MITSUBISHI CLAIMS THAT ITS NOT PART OF THE DRIVETRAIN SO THERE IS NO WARRANTY AND IT'S ALSO A "LUXURY" SYSTEM. CONTROLLING WHEEL TRACTION IS NOT A LUXURY ITS A SAFETY FEATURE. *TR

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
