Unknown Or Other problem

I have a 2008 Lancer evolution. The service required light for the all wheel drive system came on. I only had around 59000 miles on the car when this happen. I took it to the dealership and they said it was an internal fault in the awc pump. They said it would cost $2250 plus tax to replace. So I called Mitsubishi to see if they would replace the pump for free since it is a safety concern. They said no since my 3 year or 36000 mile warranty was up. A lot of evolutions in colder climates have been having this same problem. The cold weather makes the fluid in the awc pump to thick and it causes it to burn up. Without the pump working the all wheel drive system is not functioning right and may cause a wreck if it locks up. Mitsubishi even released an awc ecu reprogramming flash to try to keep the pumps going out in cold weather. I live in virginia which was one of the states they listed for the reflash. They know this is a known problem but refuse to replace my pump with the new model. This is their fault. I shouldn't have to pay for a new pump.
