| Electrical System problems |
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer. While driving approximately 5 mph, the cellular telephone was connected to the cigarette outlet for charging. The area near the radio and cigarette lighter became very hot. The contact unplugged the charger from the cigarette lighter for it to cool off. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.
There seems to be an issue with the bluetooth connection with the car and any cell phone I try to have connected with the car. Mitsubishi told me it was the cell phones fault not the car. So I went and bought an iphone 6s and got rid of my galaxy s5. To try and fix the problem but still the phone refuses to stay connected to the car. This creates a huge issue with talking and talking on the phone while driving. Some calls are extremely important I cannot simply stop the conversation due to the connection lost while driving. This causes a huge issue if you know what I mean. Traveling at speed and having to worry about keeping both hands on the wheel or get a ticket like in some states is a dilemma I face daily.
The headlights on the 15 Lancer are ridiculously dim! I purchased my 15 Lancer in October 15 and hit two deer within two months of having it! I had never hit anything since I started driving, over 8 years now, and all of a sudden when I get the Lancer, I hit not one, but two deer! something isn't right! I can barely see at night and now I hate driving at night when I used to love it! something has got to be done about this!.
I didn't think nothing of it until it happened every single time I tried to talk with my bluetooth on. Every single time that I have my iphone 6s plus connected to my bluetooth on my 15 Lancer, it always disconnects and then reconnects in a few seconds or right under a minute. At first I thought it might have been where I didn't have good service, but then it started happening when I was in town with perfect service! something has to be done about this because like the last person's complaint about this, I cannot afford to lose important phone calls and all of my calls are important business calls! I hope others make enough complaints about this so that the manufacturer can do something to fix the problem!.
