“This is a very common problem on the Mitsubishi evo x if you live in a cold area and roads are salted for snow. The location of the awc pump is not enclosed enough so the salt, road crap gets to the pump and it fails. Mitsubishi said it would cost $2 grand to replace the pump. Yes $2 grand for a pump!!! Mitsubishi needs to step up and do something about this. I know many people that have had this happen and read about thousands of others. Please help!”
