  UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  1. DRIVING 2. IRRITATING TICKING FROM PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE BAY. SEEMS TO CAUSE WEAR AND TEAR ON BELTS ON ENGINE. SO FAR NO CONSEQUENCES AS BELT HASN'T BROKEN. 3. NO PART HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS OF YET. 4. IN SHORT IT SEEMS ALMOST ALL EVO IX'S ARE AFFECTED BY THIS BELT WEAR ON THE IDLER PULLEY, POWER STEERING PULLEY, AND POSSIBLY OTHERS. I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE ONE OF THESE BELTS BREAK ON THIS PERFORMANCE TURBO CAR AT HIGH SPEEDS... COULD CAUSE MANY INJURIES IN MY OPINION. KEEP AND EYE OUT FOR MANY MANY OTHERS TO SEND IN A REPORT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS ON THE EVO IX'S AS I WILL BE POSTING UP A LINK TO THIS SITE ON OUR MAIN COMMUNITY SITE. *TR

  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTIONS MADE FROM 2003-2006. I HAVE HAD 2 OF THESE CARS AND SAME PROBLEM... ALMOST STARTED A FIRE IN MY CAR.. . WHERE THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS GOES THROUGH THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT FENDER, THERE'S A RUBBER GROMMET THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BLOCK WATER. WELL IN MY 2 CARS AND ABOUT 100 OTHERS ON THE AUTO FORUM I FREQUENT,(WWW.EVOLUTIONM.NET) THE RUBBER GROMMET FAILS TO DO ITS JOB OF BLOCKING WEATHER AND WATER IS LEAKING THROUGH GOING DOWN THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS AND INTO THE WIRING CONNECTORS. FROM THERE THE AVERAGE OWNER LIKE ME IS GETTING THERE HORN, LIGHTS WIPERS SRS LIGHT ETC. TURNING ON/OFF RAPIDLY WHILE DRIVING. SOME HAVE EXPERIENCED THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, WELL ALONG WITH THAT YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. PLEASE DO WHAT EVER NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE THIS A RECALL. AS IT I AM SURE HAS AND WILL CAUSE MANY TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS. PLEASE KEEP OUR ROADS SAFE. *TR
