general problems of the 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer

This is not the first Mitsubishi that has done this. My ex's 2000 Mitsubishi eclipse also had this same problem. The speedometer does not register. I need to know how fast I am going.

Recall info: "the inside and outside surfaces of the front cross members used on certain vehicles if exposed long term to snow melt water and anti-freezing agents may corrode due to insufficient performance of the rust protection. Should corrosion occur, a lower control arm could become detached resulting in loss of vehicle control and potential collision. In may 2016 we had to have the lower control arm replaced along with the front sway bark link assembly. " I believe this is all part of the corrosion mentioned above in the recall. Car was moving when lower control arm became detached. $285. 00 to replace lower control arm & front sway bar link.

Slave cylinder internal and there should be a recall because there are several complaints about these internal slave cylinders in these model years before Mitsubishi realized they needed to make them external. Having to replace them is extremely expensive and requires new clutch, pressure plate and all other components because of the fluid the cylinder leaks all over the inside of the transmission. They should recall these if they expect people to continue buying their vehicles. I for one will not buy another Mitsubishi because the only recap they have actually sent me was for the control arms that I already replaced on my own because even though they sent me the recall they also noted on there that the parts were not available for any dealership at this point. Very aggravated with this company and think they should treat owners and our safety as a higher priority. This slave cylinder almost caused me to get into an accident because it would not come out of gear because all the fluid was being squirted into the rest of the clutch components. Very disappointed and wishing I would have never purchased this vehicle now. Take better care of your loyal customers and our safety Mitsubishi or you will keep losing them one by one. It is an easy fix for you to recall these internal junk slave cylinders and either replace them at the very least or even convert them to external like you did a year or two after you obviously realized your mistake and bad idea.

Catalytic converter overheating emissions recall. Second is the inside and outside surfaces of the front cross members used on certain vehicles. It was a recall on the catalytic converter overheating. I need to get my car fix.
