All Mitsubishi Lancer evolution x models are having problems with the ayc acd pumps, this affects the stability and the handling of the vehicle specially in bad weather conditions because the system doesn't work properly in case of a slippery or bad road. The problem with this pumps begin with it's location because it receives dirt,water, snow and other elements that harm the pump. This should have a recall from Mitsubishi because it failed due to a bad design and location of it and it can cause serious problems for drivers specially in bad weather conditions, I will like this concern could be taken in consideration for all of us that are Mitsubishi Lancer evolution owners, thanks.
Tl the contact owns a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer evolution. While driving highway speeds above 40 mph, the vehicle became very unstable and �four wheel drive disabled� displayed. The vehicle was taken to nimay Mitsubishi (1011 kennedy Ave, kilometer 2. 5, 787-622-0200) where it was diagnosed that the all wheel control hydraulic unit failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 41,000.
Bad injector caused cylinder failure or valvr constant valve tick. Blown spark plugs caused piston meltdown causing for the pistong rod to shoot throught the block cause a fire to the engine. . Luckly I stop the fire took it to a delaership to verify the cause of the damage but the technicinas told me that theres nothing they could do because the battery die there for it reset the computer module erasing all the data with the probable cause and nothing was done after that. . Bought a new engine and now after 20,000 miles I get the same issue but Mitsubishi dose not wanna be resposible for a replace engine to which they replace.
While driving normally the message "4wd system require service" came up. I bought the car used 40k miles and now it only has 43k miles. I have driven mildly since I bought it and have never abused the car. I heard it's caused by ayc acd pump failure, acd c161e.
Acd c161e was read in the ecu. It's ayc acd pump failure. I didn't drive hard. I drove normally which I usualy do. And 4wd service required comes on. I searched a lot about the issue. Mitsubishi should have a recall about this its a common problem for evo I read.
Active yaw control pump that is part of the car's all wheel control system is failing. Pump is not covered by manufacturer power train warranty even though it's part of the power train. Due to location of the pump, it gets sprayed with water on the road. This caused the pump to fail prematurely due to corrosion.
The tc-sst in the ralliart showed signs of slippage and missing gears. At one point during operation the transmission has gears completely missing leading to road safety issues. Mitsubishi motors said there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and they would not touch the transmission.
The acd / ayc pump failed. Can be dangerous to lose awd system. Not covered under warranty.
Started up one day and went to drive it and the all wheel drive pump had failed, caused a significant change in the handling of the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer evolution. The contact stated that NHTSA campaign number: 13v446000 (power train) had surpassed a reasonable time for repair. The dealer was contacted for repair but had not repaired the vehicle in a timely matter. The contact stated that the dealer was unwilling to give a specific time frame when the repair would have been completed. The manufacture was contacted. The contact had not experienced a failure.
4wd service required light appeared. Lights stays on for a few days. Went to Mitsubishi dealer service and awc pump has failed. Im at 50,000 miles and car is 4 years old, so im with in the 5yr/60k mile drivetrain warranty, and warranty will not cover it. It is obviously a drivetrain problem. Let alone it has happend frequently to these cars.
The s-awc (super all-wheel control) light came on and was taken to the dealership that same day. Mitsubishi flashed the ecu and the problem was fixed. I recently noticed the light blinking while the vehicle is being operated. I contacted my local dealership and they informed the part is not covered by drive train warranty and my vehicle is not covered because it older than 3 years. The vehicle was purchased new in January 2010; this makes it 3 years 10 months old at time of incident with less than 36k on the odometer.
"all wheel drive system service required" message cam on. I took the vehicle to cortese Mitsubishi in rochester NY where I was told that a software update was needed which was not covered under warrant. Upgrade was performed and I was informed to return if other messages were displayed as the awc pump might be faulty which would be fixed under warranty. At 40300m the tarmac display started flashing and traction control setting could not be chaged from the awc switch. Returned the car to cortese Mitsubishi where I was told that the awc pump needed to be replaced at a cost of $2100. And that it was not covered under warranty as initially informed by the service representative because Mitsubishi considers this to be a "luxury" feature.
Turning into a parking lot and I received a "service awd system" message. Caused by the acd/ayc pump being faulty which is apparently a known problem with these cars as corrosion happens to the exposed pump. Options include a $2000-3000 replacement of the pump or rebuild one and hope it doesn't happen (which might since it is exposed) again. Really hope Mitsubishi recalls this item since it is a common problem with all evolutions.
Every Mitsubishi Lancer evo x keeps having the same problem with our acd/ayc pump failure that will cost me/owner a staggering 2000 to 3000 dollars to fix. This is clearly show how the part is really weak and should be under warranty to fix it. Please help us have the Mitsubishi pay for this crappy part included on an expensive car. Hope you here my voice.
"4wd system service required" went to the dealership to find that the acd pump have failed. Paid $3,000 because it's not a warranty part. Went online to find out that other customers have experienced the same problem going as far back as 2005. It was a design issue with the acd pump where the seal shrinks during winter allowing debris to enter the acd pump system. During the summer, the seal expand trapping the debris within causing regular failure of the pump every 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Considering they've used the pump since 2005, Mitsubishi should know full well the acd pump is no good and should've redesigned it a long time ago.
Bought my vehicle as a certified pre-owned vehicle with 37,213 miles on it. At 43,000 miles, vehicle began having malfunctions with the all wheel control system and electronic stability control hydraulic pump. This should be an item covered under the 5 year/60,000 mile warranty, however, Mitsubishi states that it is not covered, even though it is part of the power-train, and required to work for vehicle stability and safety. Mitsubishi has continued to refuse to warranty the pump. This is not an isolated issue, and there have been dozens, maybe hundreds of other cars with the exact same malfunction, many of these were turned away by Mitsubishi even while they were under the power-train warranty.
First incident occurred on 12/6/10 when the car had 11,000 miles on it. Sometimes when pressing the gas pedal, the engine revs up but the car doesn't move. This problem has happened about 25 times since I purchased the vehicle in November 2009. The vehicle issue has been reported to Mitsubishi corporate and the vehicle has been taken in to dealership service centers several times. The service centers admit to knowing what the problem is but won't fix it unless the car acts up when they test drive it. Mitsubishi finally agreed to take my car in and provide me with a rental on 1/11/13 do to a recent accident due to the car defect but no promise to fix the problem was made. The problem with this car is widely reported online. . . Read more...
