“Takata recall since I bought the car the acd pump has been fine. Back in september the red triangle came on and I did some research to find out what it meant. I barley drive the car because of the issue. It seems several other people have had this problem too. Mitsubishi wants to charge me $800-$1200 to fix it. I refuse to pay this amount after seeing everyone else has this same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11005467, filed 2017-07, 98,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10584964, filed 2014-04, 31,834 miles“I stopped at a light, the when I went to make a left turn my dash began to flash a service required light at me. After doing some investigation, it turns out that it is an extremely well known and unaddressed issue with the car's acd pump failing. It's a design flaw that costs thousands of dollars to fix, but failure of the part is practically guaranteed. Why there's no recall yet is completely ridiculous.”
NHTSA complaint #10654289, filed 2014-11, 75,000 miles“As I was driving my car it began to jerk I pulled over and shut the car off when I started it again the awc light came on and was not functioning after when pulling off I noticed the car did not want to shift gears unless in manual for so the sst had failed on me”
NHTSA complaint #10725918, filed 2015-06, 84,000 miles“I started my car the awc selection light started flashing. As I drove it stopped flashing. Then the awc service required light came on I brought it to the dealer they turned the light off said it was a ecu update. As it got warm out it came on periodically but would turn off. Every time I brought it to the dealer they couldn't duplicate the problem. Now the light has come on and stayed on. The codes are for pump failure.”
