Tarmac icon blinks incessantly on the display panel, as one drives. The blinking can cause photosensitive epilepsy (pse), which is a form of epilepsy seizures triggered by visual stimuli that form patterns in time or space, such as flashing lights, bold, regular patterns, or regular moving patterns. I found out later, the blinking is an indicator the acd pump - active center differential - is failing and it's only a matter of time before the component completely gives out. Many, many individuals from the community experiences the acd pump failure due to design and placement of the component in an inopportune location. As such, corrosion from moisture and salt deposit on the road can easily infiltrate into the pump component, causing failure in due time. Further poor sealing, lack of weather protection (anti-corrosion spray) and poor placement all contributes to the systematic, premature failure of a $1500 pump.

Vibration of the steering wheel when driving over 60 mph. Persist after changing tires, wheels, brake pads and discs. This shaking makes the car unstable and is a safety issue.

Spring seat broke at weld joint to shock tube. Spring translated in the z direction until it was in direct contact with the tire. Upon breakage vehicle had extensive spring rubbing against tire.

As I was driving my car to work last week a light came on that looks like my tires are unbalanced. . ?. . . Thinking I might need new tires, I brought my car to the dealership. The dealership assured me that I did not need tires. I had my oil changed and my tires rotated including a front end alignment and an inspection. When I started to drive away from the dealership, a light came on again. I turned around and brought it right back. The dealer put my car on a machine and told me the issue is "code c161e" -intermittent issues with awd control pump and this part alone would cost $2000. 00. My car is a 2009 with only 31000 miles on it. The dealer told me that my three year warranty is up however I still have 5000 miles. How could this happen with such minimal miles? I drive my car to work and home mostly and take good care of it. When I researched this issue online I found multiple people with the same issue and have reported the issue. However, nothing seems to be getting resolved except bad feelings. If this is such a huge issue (as it seems to be online) why does Mitsubishi not do something about this. How can they just get away with a malfunctioning auto part that normal everyday people, still making car payments, can not afford. I would really appreciate anything you could do to help me get this issue repaired as I do not want to get rid of my car. I do not feel this should be the consumers problem but the manufacturers. Thank you very much for your time.

On Wednesday morning 4/24/2013 after night shift I went outside to start my car 5-10 minutes early just like any other time prior to driving. I put my car in gear to pull away and a service signal went off stating "maintnence required" with a depiction of a transaxel and the front suspension in "motion". I then put the car in neutral and applied the emergency break to inspect. The awc function would not work, "tarmac" to "gravel" to "snow". The next day I brought my vehicle to d'ambrosio Mitsubishi for their technicians to look at it and repair it. They did the usual maintnence oil change, fluid check, tire rotation etc like I have done ever 2500 miles. The technicians discovered the s-awc pump had seized up and that the pump needed to be replaced; he stated it would cost $2500. 00 to replace, I asked what I had done to cause such a catastrophic event; the service manager advised me that it was a flaw caused by Mitsubishi and there was nothing I had done or did not do to cause this. I then left and have no idea what I'm going to do now that I have a front wheel drive car that is meant to be a full time all wheel drive car, now its sitting under a tarp and I take the bus or get a ride.

On Monday 2013 April 22 I lou stackeni (owner of vehicle) was getting off my shift at approximately 0700 hours from bethel twp pd; where I work as a patrolman. The temperature was fairly mild 60-65f, I started my 2008 Mitsubishi evolution 10 to let it warm up like I always have for approximately ten minutes. I put my evo in gear and on the center l. E. D. Screen I received the c161 messege which indicates s-awc failure or super all wheel control. This effects everything with the cars' suspension stability, yaw control, and the "Smart breaking" feature. For an un-experianced driver this could be catastrophic. Knowing the importance of this I was forced to bring the car to springfield Mitsubishi in springfield, PA. 1(484)574-8434. Now I'm stuck with a $2132. 00 bill and the car is still in the lot because I don't have the $2132. 00 to "shell" out. . Read more...

Car constantly pulls to left, even after repeat alignments by dealer. Has been services 3 times within 9 months. No improvement has been made. Front tires are now going bald after 10,000 miles.

My car, Mitsubishi Lancer gts model 2008 is pulling to the side. I got this car new, it was pulling to the left from the beginning. After they did an alignment, the car is pulling to the right. The amount of pulling is very big, for example if, at 60-65mph I release the steering wheel it rotates right instantly with a half a inch, and the car changes the lane to the right in 3-4 seconds. I don't know if the car or the tires are wrong, but this is very serioos safety concern for me. I've search on the internet for people with similar issue, and found out that most of the people with Mitsubishi Lancer gts have this problem. So I believe Mitsubishi knows about this problem but just don't want to admit it. . Read more...

My 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer pulls to the left. This happens when accelerating, braking or coasting on both crowned and uncrowned roads. It is a well documented problem on internet web forums for Lancer enthusiasts.

Front bearings are loose causing erratic steering, premature tire wear and premature brake wear.

While driving at 60 mph vehicle pulled to the right. Vehicle was taken to the dealer who inspected it several times but could not reproduce or correct the problem.

The brakes wore out prematurely. The part was replaced three times, but the problem continued exists. The vehicle left black oil spots on the garage ground near all four tires the consumer was told it was from excess factory over coating. The brakes squealed continuously, the front brake pads wore out prematurely and a nail was in the sidewall of the rear tire and couldn't be repaired because to the front and rear struts needed to be replaced due to leakage, however the consumer was getting different opinions regarding the struts. The consumer felt that there was something wrong with the calipers and or brake design which caused the brakes to prematurely wear out. The consumer was told the tires needed to be replaced.
