Other Fuel System Problems of Mitsubishi Lancer

The car started to slow down on its own even when my foot was on the gas it wouldn’t pick up speed over 20mph then it started to over heat, then smoke. It sounded like sparks like from a firecracker and smelt like something was burning to the point I had to pull over and turn the car off so my children and I could get out and breathe. When I restarted it turned on but would not drive when put into gear. I had it towed and the next day I tried again only this time the battery was dead and nothing was left on in the car I couldn’t understand how this happened so I bought a new battery put it in and it started still wouldn’t move though so I gave it a few days went to try again and the new battery was dead like something was draining all the power.

Having nothing but problems can't drive more than 20 minutes on the freeway or else my car starts making a weird noise and loses power shifting at high rpms.

I smell fuel in my car fairly often, also I have a recall on my car and the dealership will do nothing about it. I ran codes and they all point back to an issue with th computer. When I'm driving it will just start smelling like fuel. I am usually on a city street or freeway. The last thing to happen to me is the car drove like it wanted to start and stop, I was on a street turning to the next one. The transmission service required popped on. I turned the car off then off again and the car would not engage in any gear.

I purchased my vehicle with 200 miles on it at 700 miles took it in for latches and rattles. Since that hair every 8k mikes it needed a new clutch at 22k miles madter slave failed transmission started to give out at 28k miles. Please revive sawc every 1,000 miles I've owned that car Mitsubishi stated no problems found at this time. But it was very noticeable once driven. I worked for elder mitsushitty and they refused my warranty since I didn't have enough cash in my bank account to cover the cost of a repair if the warty didn't cover it under the warranty for some reason I don't know why they wouldn't of. So I had to repossess this car due to the issues and car max purchased it and mission mitaubishi could not diag it even though carmax took it in for the transmission popping out of 4th gear. I am the only 2015 mitaubishi certified sales associate in austin texas. And the dealership neglected my concerns so I had to repo my vehicle and quit due to repairs hey where trying to force me to purchase another and roll over 20k upside down they sold a stolen evo for msrp of my used car. This evo killed me and no one knew how to simple work. Carfax has yet to sell it since mission mitaubishi could not diag something I could, or carmax. Also called fire department 6 times due to car smelled like raw fuel due to fuel leak 3 times taken to service in 3 years. Mechanic freaked out from the smell when I brought it in but was unable to locate fuel leak. I memorized the VIN from how many times I took it into service.

In 2015 my 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer did not pass CA state smog. My local mechanic did the necessary tests as directed by the local state referee, they said the problem was the 02 sensor. Ended up being directed by referee to Mitsubishi of el cajon and paid $125. 00 for them to test it. They said they could not find the problem. Then was told to make appt with the referee on yet another day for them to test it and ended up receiving a 2yr pass because the car still would not complete run test. Report states: failed due to vehicle obd system has not set the readiness monitor(s). I did nit have tje money to fix the issue in 2015 so had to keep it parked until Nov 2016 from which point the above was done. Now its 2yrs later it's still not passing. Referee has once again referred me to mits motors, noting that recently all other types of mits models with same issue had already been repaired and that they will not issue another pass to me even tho my car wasn't on a recall list that because so many of mits models had this same issue, they should be required to repair this problem free of charge. Mits states that today, on this day of oct. 8th 2018 that I must still pay another $125. 00 for inspection. If and only they find that this same issue from actually 3yrs ago is on a tbs list, that only then will they cover parts and service. I live on a very tight budget and had to drive clear from oceanside to have it looked at again. I feel like im getting the run around and being completely swindled. I cannot afford to keep dealing with this same issue with I keep my car totally maintained on a regular bases and all oil changes every 3 months. This problem was on the the TSB list for many of Mitsubishi's other models and they were directed by the state to fix the issues free of charge. But im still required to continue jumping thru hoops and paying out of pocket. Why? car runs fine!.

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.

Sometimes while driving there is a strong smell of fuel. The smell is strong enough to make any person in vehicle lightheaded and have a headache. Even after turning off a/c and rolling down windows you can still smell the fumes. Took to dealership and was told it was compensation.

2003 Mitsubishi Lancer oz rally edition , sudden acceleration, car engine revs to 3000-4000 rpm. Does not have abs so you can stop the car, take your foot off the brake and you will find the car accelerating to 50 mph without touching the gas pedal. Can be fixed by replacing pn# mr578268 for $465( idle air control valve) , a part that is about $30 to $70 dollars for any other car. Event happens at 3-4 month intervals. Had to google on internet to solve problem. Dealers won't admit problem but have the overpriced part in stock!.
