I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVE BELT, HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. I EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR IS MAKING A NOISE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THE CAR. THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT I SHOULD BRING THE CAR IN TO GET LOOKED AT. THIS NOW INVOLVES ME HAVING TO TAKE TIME OFF FROM WORK SO THAT I CAN TAKE IT THERE WHICH IS ABOUT 40 MINUTES FROM MY HOME. IF IT IS THE DRIVE BELT, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ANYWAY. I FEEL THAT IT IS NEGLIGENT AND A LACK OF CONSIDERATION FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE DRIVING THE CARS TO HAVE A RECALL AND THEN HAVE PARTS ON BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THERE IS GOING TO BE A RECALL LONG BEFORE THEY ANNOUNCE IT AND SEND OUT NOTICES. I HAVE TRIED CALLING MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 888-648-7820 AND HAVE BEEN ON HOLD FOR 20 MINUTES AND STILL NO ONE HAS PICKED UP. *TR

ABS LIGHT CAME ON... TOOK TO FIRESTONE SINCE IT WAS CLOSEST TO COLLEGE....THEY REPLACED MY FRONT BRAKES....A FEW WEEKS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND WOULD DO THIS FREQUENTLY SO I TOOK IT BACK TO FIRESTONE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS THE LEFT FRONT SPEED SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE....I CALLED MITSUBISHI AND SPOKE TO SEVERAL CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSONNEL AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD OR WOULD DO.... I ASKED IF THERE WERE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PART SINCE IT WAS ONLY THE LEFT SIDE THAT WENT BAD NOT BOTH AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION.... I AM NOT HAPPY... THE REPAIR IS OVER $500 AND MY CONCERN IS DRIVING ON WET ROADS AND THE BRAKES FAILING. STATUS UPDATE 07/31/14 UPDATED 03/3/15 *JS

WHILE COMING OF THE OFF-RAMP, THE VEHICLE LOST PRESSURE IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THERE WAS FLUID LEAKING FROM THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER IN 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER ES (BASE MODEL) IS THE SAME AS ONE BEING RECALLED IN 2008-2013 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION X. THIS IS A SECOND TIME THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER HAS FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD LIKE FOR MITSUBISHI CORP. TO LOOK INTO THE RECALLING BASE MODELS FOR THIS ISSUE AS THEY HAVE IN THE FOLLOWING SR-13-009. FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER REDUCES THE ABILITY TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO OR OUT OF GEAR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. *TR
