1 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2021

I was driving on the highway when an active stability control service warning displayed on the dashboard. It was coupled with the check engine light and immediately caused my car to seize up making me momentarily lose control of the vehicle. As I regained control the vehicle continued to resist any acceleration while the rpms would frequently spike. I also lost anti-lock brake functionality with no dashboard warning. Through my mechanic I later found out the car was forcing itself into "limp mode" because the engine air flow sensor was giving a faulty reading. All of this put my car into conditions for a crash had I not acted quickly to avoid it. It also created a repair bill that was unnecessary as this is apparently part of a known technical service bulletin TSB-13-13-008. I find it inappropriate and irresponsible of Mitsubishi to not have alerted me to the defect in the air flow sensor and filter box. It caused a needless dangerous driving condition and excess repairs.
