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.

Random p0300 error plus vibration at 2800 to 3500 rpm. Contacted Mitsubishi and it is a known issue with a TSB for all evo viii vehicles due to a faulty input shaft. However, Mitsubishi does not cover this under warranty for 03 models as it would be out of warranty long before this issue shows up. Problem occurs sporadically and causes sudden loss of vehicle power. In an oncoming passing situation, this power loss could seriously degrade vehicle safety. Fix is either to remove the check for the knock sensor or replace the input shaft at a cost of about 4000 dollars to replace a known manufacturing defect. Manufacture chose not to issue recall even though there are many complaints such as this on this databoard. Manufacture does not inform customer voluntarily when a problem is noted on the car and submit recommendation for fix.

I 1st started hearing a metal scraping noise coming from the drive belt area around 20,000 miles on the odometer of my 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer evolution ix mr. After researching this online, I found this to be a common/frequent problem reported by many other owners of the same car throughout the web. In fact, I even found a youtube clip of the exact same noise created for the exact same issue. The noise has been determined to be involving the timing belt rubbing against the crankshaft blade. I've only found it to only be audible at idle, so it makes sense that it's some sort of timing belt tension issue. Some dealerships are resolving this issue by replacing the timing belt, crankshaft blade, timing belt tensioner, and sometimes even the idler pulley. My local dealership denied my warranty repair claim to get the metal scraping noise issue fixed, and charged me $140 to spray engine degreaser on undressed accessory belts, claiming that the accessory belts were overdressed and that is what caused the noise. Unfortunately, my car is still making the same noise, which I am certain is being caused by the same timing belt/crankshaft blade issue. My only concern is that the timing belt will at some point in the future fail due to the obvious rubbing/contact that is occurring with the crankshaft blade, so I would like to get this fixed before that happens. Glendale Mitsubishi in glendale, CA is aware of the problem, and acknowledged that it's a common issue, but was not willing to discuss it with my local dealership, stating that my local dealership should contact the Mitsubishi tech line instead. I believe this to be a very common problem with the 2006 Lancer evolutions, and firmly believe that Mitsubishi should be responsible for issuing a service bulletin to get this resolved.
