🇺🇸 mitsubishi lancer cy 2014 [Transmission] Defect age: 3
The ayc pump failed by displaying a blinking tarmac light. It constantly flashes while driving. The ayc pump correlates with the steering and stability control for the rear differential. This is a big hazard. The ayc pump should be relocated to the trunk compartment so it is not exposed to weather conditions like snow and rain. This will protect the ayc pump from failing. The warranty will not cover this failed pump at all.

When cold temperature comes (around 20f) or below you can hear a very loud whine coming from the ayd/acd pump located in the passenger side wheel well when first staying vehicle. When this happens there will be a moment where the tarmac/gravel/snow indicator lights on the dashboard blink and puts the pump into failsafe mode. If you drive while the pump is in failsafe mode the handling is terrible and any engine braking is non existent. Over the past few winters I have experienced this up until this write up. Now in warmer weather (70f) or above the pump is stuck in fail safe mode and does not return to normal operation like it sometimes would in winter months. This pump provides the front and rear differential assembly with the fluid needed to provide normal and adequate driving. Vehicle now has 41000 miles and needs this pump replaced which is just over 2,000 usd. After much research, I have found weather and/or salt/sandy roads to cause premature failure of this pump. I believe my pump went as a combination of both because of poor placement by Mitsubishi to locate this pump just behind the passenger rear wheel under the vehicle. I now have a hefty bill to look forward to every 3-4 years in pump replacement costs alone if I keep this hazard of a car.

The transmission doesn't shift into gear easily as well as jumps out of first gear when taking off from stop. When shifting into 3rd and 5th it is difficult to shift into while moving. This is a dangerous situation when driving. All upper gears are difficult to shift into. The clutch failed twice in less than 40k miles then the replacement failed after only 1,000. Not sure if they are related.
🇺🇸 mitsubishi lancer cy 2013 [Transmission] Defect age: 2
I own a Mitsubishi Lancer evolution x gsr 2011. I purchased this vehicle on February 2013 brand new. By the end of September 2013 (7 months) I had about 15,000 miles on the vehicle and I started experiencing a problem with the acceleration of the vehicle. The gear was engaging properly but there was a delay on getting traction to the wheels. The engine ramped up several rpms before the car started accelerating in any gear. On October 2nd 2013 I took the vehicle to the Mitsubishi dealership and I was told that I have to replace the clutch because it was worn off. I could not believe this since the vehicle was fairly new and I have never experienced this problem before, all my previous vehicles have had manual transmission. I also got the vehicle checked with two local mechanics and they told me that the clutch was worn off beyond normal. The clutch is not under manufacturer's warranty because it's wear off depends on the driver according to Mitsubishi. The problem arises when I checked the national highway traffic safety administration website for recalls and I found out that in November 11 2013 there will be a recall noticed for my vehicle for the clutch master cylinder. After November 11 I called the dealership to confirm that my car is one of the cars affected and it was indeed. I got the clutch master cylinder replaced and the car is still having the same problem as before. My question is, and I need to know if the national highway traffic safety administration can do the research for me, what is the effect of a damaged clutch master cylinder on the wearing of a clutch? I now have to pay over $2,000 to the dealership to have the clutch replaced. If the clutch was damaged due to miss-function of the master cylinder wouldn't Mitsubishi have to cover repair cost for the early wearing of the clutch? please get back to me. Sincerely,.

Bought this car brand new only had it a little over a month,service engine light comes on,dealer told me it was misfiring and fixed. 2 weeks later service engine light comes on again, called and made appt. Next day I am driving down the highway and hear a loud grinding noise,transmission blew. And to top it off manufacture won't cover warranty because evidentially I was racing and doing burnouts,which wasn't the case at all. This car definitely has defects. Even if I was beating it and doing what I was accused of I highly doubt the trans would of blew that fast. I was never told why the service engine light came on the 2nd time but was told that the trans wouldn't make it come on which is untrue.
