The smell of gas fumes while driving coming from an 2010 Mitsubishi evolution mr touring. This happens either with the ac on or off, while standing in traffic or doing the speed limit or driving on the highway. The smells cause is not determined by any non-Mitsubishi mechanic nor a Mitsubishi mechanic. Getting dizzy because of the gas fumes coming from the car is a danger to the drivers, his or her company in the car and any person on the road.

I was driving from dallas, TX, to el paso, TX in my 2009 Mitsubishi ralliart. Around 3pm and with an outside temperature of approx 99 degrees farenheit (based on the display readout on the car). I noticed a very very strong raw fuel or gas smell coming in from the vents. The air conditioner was on, so I turned it to recirculating air, it persisted, so I turned the air conditioner off, but the very strong gasoline smell, to my amazement, persisted. 2 passengers (my elderly dad 76, and my little sister, 18) also noticed the smell. The smell lasted around 5 minutes, and we were forced to open all the 4 windows, even still the smell was strong enough and kept on going. I started feeling lightheaded, so I told my dad, the passenger that I has to pull over (I literally felt like I was going to faint). We were able to pull over safely and step away from the car. Later I turned the car on and the strong gas smell didnt return for the remainder of the drive. One of my passengers reported a headache that same night. This incident has happened 2 or 3 times before (last summer). Please look into it ASAP. Thank you. Sincerely. . Read more...

The smell of raw fuel engulfing the inside of the car making it near unbearable to drive without feeling dizzy or sick. This can't be safe. No visible leaks and the dealer cannot figure out why this is happening. This is unsafe and I'm assuming can lead to a fire. It can also incapacitate the driver and passengers due to the fumes which could cause an accident if this happens while the car is in motion.

There is a strong fuel smell in the cabin when I am on the highway doing 70mph, I have tried to check it out but there are no apparent fuel leaks, my mechanic suspects the evaporator system.

1) the check engine light came on after 130,000 miles. Had it checked out and it required a new catalytic converter. 2) the temperature control knob broke off. It seems like both of these problems are common in Mitsubishi Lancers.

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. Consumer writes in regards to throttle body problems and other failure issues with vehicle. The consumer stated the vehicle broke down and had to be towed to the dealer. They dealer cleaned the map sensor and throttle body and charged the consumer. The consumer stated the vehicle was still under warranty, and he shouldn't have been charged. Mitsubishi stated the consumer would not have to pay for the cleaning, but he would have to pay for the towing charges. The consumer then learned from the dealer, the map sensor problem was a manufacturing defect. The consumer stated he experienced the problem on two other occasion, where the dealer had to send a mechanic out, to clean the map sensor because the vehicle had broke down and would not start. The consumer stated the problem has become worse, where the engine light stayed on 98% of the time and it would take 4-5 times before the vehicle would stop cutting off.

Car began to sputter when stopping/accelerating and in reverse; car would appear to stall out.

I own a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer evolution that was purchased brand new from the dealership in the middle of 2003. The car had run fine until about may 12th of this year. The car started performing oddly. The turbo and engine would not provide full power at random times while driving. I was informed by mechanics that it could possibly be a vacuum line leak or hose leak. Acting on their advice, I purchased from the dealership replacement factory vacuum hoses and replaced them on the car. This did not fix the problem. I then decided to take my car to the dealership being that the car was still under warranty and told them the problem. During this time the engine had also picked up a slight ticking sound. After two days I was contacted saying they could not find any problem other than my intercooler hoses being a little loose from having removed and replaced them to do the hose install. I was then charged 200$ for labor. I picked the car up and immediately upon heading home could feel the same problem with the engine/turbo and ticking. I took the car back immediately and let the service manager hear the ticking and informed him that the car was still having engine problems. He asked me to bring it back on Monday and they would then address the issue. I returned my vehicle to the shop that Monday and was not contacted until I called them on Thursday only to be told my warranty was not being honored because someone had been 'messing around' near the turbo (the location the vacuum lines were replaced). I informed them why they would see that and I was told I would need to open a case with mmna to appeal their decision. That appeal was also rejected as the district representative of that location would not believe what I had to say. Nothing has been done to the car to fix the problem, and I am left with having to pay out of pocket now to diagnose and fix a problem which should have been covered under warranty.
