3 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem of the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer

Failure Date: 03/14/2012

A few months after I purchased my used evo x with 30,000 miles and a 5 yr/ 60,000 mile warranty, I noticed a puddle of fluid accumulating while it was parked in the rear passanger side of the vehicle. I soon did research to determine where it was coming from. I learned my ayc/acd pump is leaking, after further investigating it turns out this pump is nototriuos for leaking and failing. The Mitsubishi dealer denied my warranty claim and I was never given a reason, even after asking why. I have since then contacted a third party dispute center. This pumps the necessary fluid to the front and rear of the all wheel drive assemblies. If this pump fails, it will ultimately destroy the entire drive train/ all wheel drive system. Resulting in it locking up, causing the driver to loose control. As far as I know, the driver of the vehicle is unable to cause this part to be faulty, unless it is damaged, therfore is a defective part and should be replaced or fixed to insure the safety of its driver and others on the road.

4 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem of the 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer

Failure Date: 06/13/2010

The slave cylinder on my 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer went out while driving the car. I was driving on the freeway when this happen and I could no longer get my car to go into gear. I had to get over from the left lane of traffic to the shoulder of the right lane without being able to accelerate because my car would not go into gear. I had to cut other drivers off and almost caused an accident. The slave cylinder leaked brake fluid all over the clutch and now that has to be replaced too. Mitsubishi knew this was a problem because they changed the design in 2004. I have read about this same problem from others who have the same car.
