MITSUBISHI LANCER 2004 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2008.MITSUBISHI LANCER 2004, manufactured by MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . THE HVAC(KNOBS ON THE DASH FOR AC UNIT) TEMPERATURE KNOB HAS BROKEN OFF. IN THE PREVIOUS MONTHS IT BECAME INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN FROM HOT TO COLD. CHECKING ONLINE I LOCATED A TEMPORARY FIX INVOLVING REACHING UNDER THE DASH NEAR THE GAS PEDAL AND PULL/PUSHING THE FLAP THAT CONTROL WARM/COLD. NOT BEING ABLE TO ACTIVELY CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE IS A HAZARD IN FLORIDA AS WE CAN SUDDENLY CHANGE FROM SUNNY 'WINDOWS DOWN' WEATHER TO TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS WITH WINDOWS FOGGED. LIKEWISE MY NIECE AND NEPHEW CANNOT RIDE WITH ME ON OUR 'HOT' DAYS AS THE TEMPERATURE COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THEIR HEALTH WITHOUT A WORKING AC UNIT. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLACE THE KNOB OR THE WIRE THAT RUNS FROM IT TO THE FLAP AS THIS UNIT IS DAMAGED ON ALL THE 'USED' HVAC UNITS AT THE CAR LOTS I HAVE CHECKED FOR PARTS..Mileage was 65000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JA3AJ26E43U. Mitsubishi Lancer 2004 problem was reported in ST. PETERSBURG, FM. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
