MITSUBISHI LANCER 2009 Power Train Manual Transmission Report #10254330

MITSUBISHI LANCER 2009 car safety problem was reported on Jan 02, 2009.MITSUBISHI LANCER 2009, manufactured by MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION . I BOUGHT A 2009 MITSUBISHI LANCER IN MAY OF '08. I TRADED IN MY '04 LANCER AT THAT TIME WITH 145,000KMS. ALL ORIGINAL PARTS EXCEPT FOR BRAKES. I MOVED TO BC IN AUG '08 FROM ALBERTA WHERE I HAD BOUGHT MY CAR. *TR I WAS COMING HOME FROM CHRISTMAS IN AB ON JAN.2/09 WHEN THE HINGE ON MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW BROKE, AND MY CLUTCH STARTED TO SLIP. I DROVE MY MY CAR AN HOUR AND A HALF TO THE NEAREST MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THE MECHANIC THAT DAY TOLD ME THAT THE REAR SEAL HAD A LEAK, THAT OIL HAD BEEN SPRAYING LIKELY THROUGH THE CLUTCH AND THAT I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE MADE IT. WHEN A DIFFERENT PERSON CALLED ME ON MONDAY, HE SAID THAT WHEN THEY TOOK IT APART, THE SEAL HAD BEEN FACTORY INSTALLED WRONG AND THAT'S WHAT WAS CAUSING THE OIL TO LEAK. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO TRACE OF OIL IN THE CLUTCH AND THAT IT WAS WORN. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL COVER THE SEAL AND THE WINDOW, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE CLUTCH. I HAVE DRIVEN MANUAL FOR OVER 10 YEARS. I HAVE DRIVEN TO AB AND BACK 4 TIMES IN MY NEW CAR, SO 80% OF THE 30,000KMS ON IT ARE HWY DRIVEN. I GOT 145,000KMS AND 4 1/2 YRS ON THE LAST LANCER I BOUGHT, AND TRADED IT IN WITH THE ORIGINAL CLUTCH. I HAVE TALKED TO MGR'S AND SUPERVISOR'S, AND THEY ALL GO BACK AND TALK TO THE MECHANIC. SAYING THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE. NO SECOND OPINION. LEAVING ME TO COVER THE COST OF A NEW CLUTCH ($600). I HAVE SINCE FOUND REPORTS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH CLUTCHES ON OLDER MODELS. COULD THERE NOT BE PROBLEMS WITH NEW ONES TOO? ESPECIALLY WHEN 2 OTHER MAJOR BREAKS HAPPENED ON THE SAME DAY ON MY CAR? BOTH FACTORY PROBLEMS. *TR.Mileage was 17000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JA3AU26U29U. Mitsubishi Lancer 2009 problem was reported in ENDERBY, 00. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

MITSUBISHI LANCER 2009 car safety problem was reported on Jan 11, 2013.MITSUBISHI LANCER 2009, manufactured by MITSUBISHI MOTORS NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . I HAVE AN 09 MITSUBISHI LANCER ES SPORT WITH THE SUN AND SOUND PACKAGE. THE AMPLIFIER, WHICH IS UNDER MY DRIVERS SIDE SEAT, FOR THE SOUND SYSTEM STARTED SMOKING AND SPARKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO REPLACED IT, AND A WEEK AGO, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, IT STARTED SMOKING AND SPARKING AGAIN, BUT STOPS WHEN YOU POWER OFF THE RADIO, IF THE POWER IS ON IN THE RADIO, IT CONTINUES TO SMOKE AND SPARK. I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A WIRING DEFECT IN MY CAR THAT IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN AND FEAR THAT IF IT CONTINUES MY CAR MAY EVENTUALLY CATCH ON FIRE. DEALER WILL NOT LOOK AT IT AGAIN UNLESS I PAY $120 INITIAL FEE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 45000 miles. Mitsubishi Lancer 2009 problem was reported in POTOMAC, MD.

MITSUBISHI LANCER 2009 Power Train Report #10503938

MITSUBISHI LANCER 2009 car safety problem was reported on Mar 19, 2013.MITSUBISHI LANCER 2009, manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2009 FROM THE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP IN GA, BRAND NEW. I TRAVEL OFTEN AND LONG DISTANCES SO I HAVE ACCUMULATED A LOT OF MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE WITH ALL THE PROPER INSPECTIONS AND SERVICES AND THE SUGGESTION TIMES (OIL CHANGE EVERY 3K MILES, BRAKES AND TIRES AT 50K,...). I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSION IN AUGUST 2012 WITH THIS WHINING NOISE EVERYTIME I ACCELERATED. MY "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER THE NOISE STARTED. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO AUTO ZONE, THEY PULLED A "FAILED SHIFT SOLENOID" CODE. I HAD A TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH DONE AT AROUND 70K MILES WITH THE PROPER CVT TRANSMISSION FLUID ADDED TO THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WAS TRAVELING THE HIGHWAY FOR CHRISTMAS FROM MISSOURI TO GEORGIA, ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE TRIP I SAW THIS RED SIGNAL ON THE DASHBOARD THAT READ "SLOW DOWN!" WITH A THERMOSTAT ABOVE THE WARNING. I READ THROUGH THE MANUAL AND GOOGLE SEARCHED THE WARNING AND READ THAT IT MEANT THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS OVERHEATING. FOR THE REST OF THE 13-HOUR DRIVE, ANYTIME I DROVE OVER 75 MILES AN HOUR FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I TRIED TO IGNORE IT AT ONE POINT AND THIS CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO STOP SHIFTING (I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC). I HAD TO STOP 4 TIMES BETWEEN THE TRIP BECAUSE OF THIS LIGHT. I HAVE A POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE FOR 10 YEARS/100K MILES. WHILE IN SAVANNAH, I HAD THE MITSUBISHI DEALER RUN A DIAGNOSTIC IN WHICH THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THERE WAS AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AT THE TIME BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSING. NOW BACK IN MISSOURI, THE DEALERSHIP IS "UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE CODE" AND IS MORE BENT ON MAKING ME PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE. MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER CARE ISN'T MUCH HELP EITHER. I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO BE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SOON. SOMEBODY HELP! *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 81000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JA3AU26U69U. Mitsubishi Lancer 2009 problem was reported in BALLWIN, MO. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 4 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS.

AS I WAS DRIVING UP THE I5 GOING UP THE GRAPEVINE IN CA AT 65-70MPH MY VEHICLE MADE A BEEPING NOISE AND DASH SHOWED THERMOMETER THAT SAID SLOW DOWN. I SLOWED DOWN TO 60MPH AND WENT INTO THE LEFT LANE OR (SLOW LANE WHERE SEMI TRUCKS DRIVE). ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN MORE AND MORE UNTIL A SEMI TRUCK GOT EXTREMELY CLOSE AND HAD TO VEER INTO A FASTER LANE BECAUSE MY CAR WAS ONLY GOING 40MPH. I FOUND AN EXIT AND EXITED THE FREEWAY. I CAME TO A STOP, WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CAR WAS ON AND IT WAS IN DRIVE BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. FORTUNATELY A CHP VEHICLE CAME ALONG AND STOPPED TRAFFIC LONG ENOUGH FOR MY BROTHER AND 13 YEAR OLD NEPHEW TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS EXACT INCIDENT OCCURRED IN THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS WITH MY MOTHER AND WAS ON THE SAME FREEWAY, LUCKILY THAT TIME WE WERE CLOSER TO THE EXIT AND WERE ABLE TO GET SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO HAVE THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN IN FRONT OF SEMI TRUCKS THAT ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO STOP AT SHORT DISTANCES. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 58923 miles.

I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON THE CA IS-15 NORTH AT APPROXIMATELY 5:55 PM PST BETWEEN THE EXITS OF 138/WRIGHTWOOD AND THE ROUTE 395/JOSHUA STREET EXIT. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE GOING ABOUT 68-72 MPH. I GOT A "SERVICE REQUIRED" ERROR LIGHT FLASHING, THEN THE "SLOW DOWN" LIGHT CAME ON WITH A PICTURE OF A THERMOMETER. I CHECKED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE (WHICH IS DISPLAYED ON THE LED SCREEN BY THE SPEEDOMETER, NOT THE USUAL INDEPENDENT GAUGE) AND THE TEMPERATURE SHOWED THAT IT WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, WHICH SHOULD BE WORKING GREAT. I SLOWED DOWN TO 50 MPH AS I MERGED FROM THE #1 (FAST) LANE TO THE SLOW LANE BY THE ROAD SHOULDER AND MY ENGINE LOST POWER. LUCKILY I HAD ENOUGH POWER TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULD BEFORE THE USUAL LINE OF SEMI-TRUCKS BLEW PAST ME. I CHECKED THE COOLANT, OIL, AND CTV TRANS FLUID LEVELS, ALL WERE AT CAPACITY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAD EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME WAS THIS SAME TIME LAST YEAR (AUGUST, 2012). I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN JULY 2012. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED THE DEALERSHIP (VICTORVILLE MITSUBISHI) FIXED IT UNDER TSB 10-23-005. AT THAT POINT THE CAR ONLY HAD 46,000 MILES ON IT.
