Acd pump went out on my car. No real reason other than the lie of it being cold. . . . 20 degrees isn't to cold to me. Either way, without the acd pump the cars awd doesn't work to standard. What awd car isn't made for cold. Ridiculous. Happens to alot of evos. Needs recognized and recalled. Also my timing chain went at 36k. No timing chain should go out that early no matter what. They told me its because I didn't change the oil till they dropped the oil pan and saw that they were wrong. The chain isn't meant to handle the torque of the car. That's a manufacture mess up. Another one that should be a recall with the amount of people that have/had the issue. And one more, the p. O. S. Fuel relay that dies on you and could possibly blow your motor. The fuel pump and timing chain have both been updated yet not recalled. Why? doesn't make sense that they notice the problem, make a new part for the problem, but don't fix it under their mistake.
