Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Lancer Evolution vehicles manufactured January 31, 2014, to September 5, 2014, and 2014-2015 Lancer Ralliart vehicles manufactured February 3, 2014, to September 5, 2014. The affected turbocharged vehicles have a right parking brake cable that may contact the fuel tank, wearing away the tank's protective coating.

Remedy: Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the right parking brake cable, and inspect the fuel tank, free of charge. If the fuel tank's exterior coating shows signs of damage from abrasive contact with the right parking brake cable, the fuel tank will also be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on October 13, 2015. Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-15-009.
Needs a new motor. I know other 2015 Mitsubishi lancers were recalled for the same reason and this one should be also.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
TENSIONER BROKE RELEASING THE SERPENTINE BELT. LOST POWER STEERING, COOLING AND AC. CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IMMOBILE. ENDED UP TAKING UR TO SHOP AND THEY FOUND THE CRACKED TENSIONER AND RUINED BELT THAT ONLY HAD ABOUT 10K MILES
'TAKATA RECALL' I RAN INTO A TREE AT 55MPH AND HIT A TREE. WHEN I HIT THE TREE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 1130 AT NIGHT NO RAIN OR ANYTHING. I HIT A DEER AT 72 MPH LOTS OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND DRIVERSIDE.. MY SEST BELT WAS LOCKED BUT NOT ONE OF MY AIR BAGS COME OUT..
CAR HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN JUST UNDER 6 MONTHS WITH NO ABUSE AND WITH JUST AT 10,000 MILES THE CLUTCH FAILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER CLAIM WEAR ITEM. IF THE CAR HAD 40,00 OR MORE MILES I MIGHT ACCEPT, BUT THEY BUILT A CAN WITH AN ENGINE THAT PRODUCES OVER 300 FT.LBS. OF TORQUE, AND APPARENTLY INSTALLED A CLUTCH AND PRESSURE PLATE THAT DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE CLAMPING AND HOLDING ABILITIES FOR THE ENGINE IN THE CAR. THE ARE CLAIMING WEAR ITEM AND WANT APPROXIMATELY $2,000.00 FOR THE REPAIR OF WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A DEFECTIVE OR INTENTIONALLY INSUFFICIENT PART TO PROPERLY CONTAIN THE OUTPUT OF THE CARS ENGINE AND ARE PASSING THE COST ON TO THE BUYERS. THESE ARE ALSO NOT ENTRY LEVEL CARS AND ARE ADVERTISED AS HIGH POWER, PERFORMANCE CARS. CLUTCH BEGAN SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING THEREBY CREATING AN UNSAFE OPERATING CONDITION. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS ALSO PURCHASED AND THE CLAIM IS BEING DENIED BY BOTH THE MANUFACTURE, AND THE ADD ON WARRANTY COMPANY AS WEAR ITEMS,
VEHICLE WILL AT RANDOM MAKE A CLICKING NOISE, WHILE ALL LIGHTS ON DASH WILL FLICKER ON & OFF. IF CAR IS IN DRIVE, IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF. HOWEVER, WHEN IN PARK, IF THE CLICKING/FLASHING OCCURS, THE CAR WILL SHUTOFF & NOT TURN BACK ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MITSUBISHI DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, TO WHICH THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER SOLVED. CAR HAS BEEN STALLED OUT COMPLETELY (WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL EXCEPT CLICKING/FLASHING) FOR GOING ON 2 WEEKS. MITSUBISHI CORPORATE WILL NOT ASSIST AS THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. THE DEALER STATES IT IS THE LOJACK COMPONANT (WHICH WAS INSTALLED BY DEALER PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE IN 2015). LOJACK STATES IT IS NOT THEIR PRODUCT AS IT IS SELF-SUSTAINING & WILL NOT PROHIBIT THE BATTERY OF THE VEHILCLE. MITSUBISHI SAYS ITS LOJACK SHORTING OUT THE BATTERY. THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM (CITY MITSUBISHI) WAS SOLD & IS NOW NORTHSTAR MITSUBISHI. COPORATE REFUSES TO ASSIST, & THE LOCAL DEALERS WILL NOT ASSIST. MY CAR IS NOT OPERABLE.
CVT TRANSMISSION; VEHICLE HAS 45K MILES, NO RECALL WAS RECORDED FOR MY VIN BUT I CLEARLY EXPERIENCE THE STATED SYMPTOMS OF THE COMMUNICATION LOSS BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THERE IS A BRIEF "HESITATION " FAILURE TO MOVE. WHEN HIGHWAY DRIVING, ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS THERE IS ALSO "HESITATION ". MY LAST CONCERN UNMENTIONED BY THE MANUFACTURER IS THE CONSTANT OVER-HEATING OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IN MANY FORUMS AROUND THE WORLD IT'S A CONSTANT ISSUE, THE CONSUMER IS FORCED TO REPAIR WITH AFTERMARKET ADD ON TRANSMISSION COOLERS, FLUID CHANGES, ETC. MOST HIGHWAYS AROUND MY HOME REQUIRE 70MPH SPEED LIMITS, I TRAVEL 50 MILES FOR WORK EACH DAY, THE OVER-HEATING HAS COST ME TIME AND MONEY AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO CONSIDER THE WORK WARRANTY. IT'S A FACTORY DEFECT IN DESIGN AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED VIA MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBILITY.
