Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Drove out of my driveway and within 5 seconds ABS malfunction light came on as well as stability control. After further investigation I found that the drivers side rear ABS sensor was faulty due to the sensor not being sealed correctly by the manufacturer which LED to corrosion and the sensor failing. Mitsubishi would not warranty this item even though its known to be faulty, Mitsubishi even has a new part number for the sensor. This should obviously be a safety recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10480815, filed 2012-10, 38,000 miles“The s-awc (super all-wheel control) light came on and was taken to the dealership that same day. Mitsubishi flashed the ecu and the problem was fixed. I recently noticed the light blinking while the vehicle is being operated. I contacted my local dealership and they informed the part is not covered by drive train warranty and my vehicle is not covered because it older than 3 years. The vehicle was purchased new in january 2010; this makes it 3 years 10 months old at time of incident with less than 36k on the odometer.”
NHTSA complaint #10555737, filed 2013-12, 35,200 miles“On-dash warning light of 4wd system service required came on. This warning is indicative of a active center differential (acd) pump failure, generally due to corrosion from treated winter road surfaces and/or the inability to handle cold-weather climates. Car was previously serviced under a technical service bulletin (TSB) to delay activation of the acd pump for this exact reason 2 years prior to failure. …”

NHTSA complaint #10536142, filed 2013-08, 28,100 miles“Turning into a parking lot and I received a service awd system message. Caused by the acd/ayc pump being faulty which is apparently a known problem with these cars as corrosion happens to the exposed pump. Options include a $2000-3000 replacement of the pump or rebuild one and hope it doesn't happen (which might since it is exposed) again. Really hope Mitsubishi recalls this item since it is a common problem with all evolutions.”
