S-AWC PUMP HAS A CORRODIBLE HOUSING AND IS PLACED IN AN AREA THAT IS EXPOSED TO SALT AND WATER FROM THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE WHEEL. THE PLACEMENT OF THE PUMP IS A DESIGN FLAW AND HAS LED TO SEVERE CORROSION OF THE PUMP HOUSING AND FAILURE OF THE PUMP. THE FAILURE OF THE PUMP COMPLETELY DISABLES BOTH THE ACTIVE CENTER DIFFERENTIAL AND THE ACTIVE YAW CONTROL SYSTEMS, BOTH OF WHICH ARE INTENDED TO ASSIST THE DRIVER IN CONTROLLING THE CAR UNDER ADVERSE HANDLING SITUATIONS.

MITSUBISHI LANCER DCT470 SST TRANSMISSION RECALL - MY TRANSMISSION LOST EVEN GEARS WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. THE CAR SELECTED A LOWER GEAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I PULLED OVER TO TROUBLESHOOT AND EVENTUALLY MADE IT HOME. THIS COSTLY REPAIR FORCED ME TO BUY ANOTHER CAR AND HAVE SINCE LEFT THE REPAIR UNATTENDED. THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE PROBLEM IS SO COMMON THAT A PETITION WAS STARTED TO HELP THOSE OTHERS THAT WERE ALSO AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS A SHIFT FORK MAGNET BECOMES DISLOCATED FROM THE BRACKET AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TO SELECT EVEN GEARS. IN ORDER TO REPAIR, A SPECIALIST MUST DISASSEMBLE AND REBUILD THE CASE. IT IS NOT CAUSED

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.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE CAR STARTED ACTING STRANGE. IT WOULD ONLY SWITCH TO SELECT GEARS. I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO A MITSUBISHI SERVICE WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. THEN THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $12000 TO REPAIR. THEY ALSO SAID THE CAR NEEDS A NEW AWD DIFFERENTIAL PUMP BUT THAT WOULD BE FREE. UPON MY RESEARCH AND WHAT ONE OF THE TECHS TOLD ME AWD PUMP CAN SCREW UP THE TRANSMISSION. HOW CAN THEY NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIR FOR TRANSMISSION IF A FAULTY PART CAUSED IT.
