2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER Complaints

2008 LANCER PULLS TO THE LEFT. A BIT MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. AGGRESSIVE PULL TO THE LEFT. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THEY DID NOTHING. I CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID THEY HEARD NOTHING OF THIS PROBLEM DESPITE MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION X GSR THE CAR HAS A PROJECTED MPG PER TANK OF 280. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FROM MILE 4 ON THE ODOMETER & HAVE NEVER GOTTEN OVER 195 MI PER TANK. I CONTACTED ANAHEIM MITSUBISHI WHERE I PURCHASED BY VEHICLE & THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THE ISSUE & COULD NOT ASSIST BUT ONLY TOLD ME AFTER I HAD GONE THERE 2 TIMES FOR ASSISTANCE/CORRECTION ON THE ISSUE. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO SOUTH COAST MITSUBISHI & THEY KNEW OF THE ISSUE & STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ECU FLASH THAT WOULD CORRECT THE AIR/FUEL RATIO &A FEW OTHER ISSUES. AT THE TIME I TOOK IT IN FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS RUBBING & THAT ISSUE WAS FIXED BUT I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR CONSUMING SO MUCH FUEL. I HAVE RESORTED TO LESS DRIVING, UNTIL SOMEONE CAN ACTUALLY PROVE TO ME THE ECU HAS BEEN FLASHED OR UNTIL MITSUBISHI ACTUALLY FIXES THIS ISSUE FOR REAL. *TR

THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT VERY STRONGLY, AND HAVE HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP 3-4 TIMES TO HAVE THEM TRY AND FIX IT WITH NO AVAIL. THEY ALIGNED IT AND ROTATED THE TIRES, BUT THIS FIXED NOTHING. I STRESSED MY CONCERN WITH THIS THAT THE TIRES WOULD WEAR OUT FAST SINCE IT ISN'T ALIGNED RIGHT, AND NOW, AT 4300 MILES, ALL FOUR TIRES ARE WORN OUT BAD, FEATHERED ON THE OUTSIDE, AND INSIDE IS ALMOST DOWN TO 2/32NDS, AND THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I FILED A CLAIM WITH MITUSBISHI THEMSELVES, AND AFTER REVIEWING THE CASE, SAID THE CAR IS FINE, AND ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE EVEN WEAR AND THEY CLOSED THE CASE, EVEN THOUGH ALL THE TIRES ARE WORN OUT DIFFERENT, SOME WORSE THAN OTHERS, AND THE CAR STILL PULLS TO THE LEFT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER. IN RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE CONTACT NOTICED WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE CABIN. ALSO, THE TIRES HAVE PREMATURE TREAD WEAR. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND A TECHNICIAN REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AND PERFORMED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE TIRE TREAD DISPLAYED ABNORMAL WEAR AGAIN. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REALIGN THE TIRES AND REPLACE ALL FOUR AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED BECAUSE THE DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

THERE IS A OIL LEAK COMING OUT OF THE CRANK PULLEY, DID QUICK RESEARCH FOUND OUT I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE. THERE WAS A OIL RING AROUND THE PULLEY WHERE IT GOES INTO THE ENGINE AND IT NEEDS TO BE A FREE FIX OR RECALL I DON'T CARE BUT WHY WOULD I WANT TO KEEP A CAR THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO BOUGHT A NEW PULLEY FOR THE CAR AND CHECKED ON IT 6 MONTHS LATER AND THE RING WAS THERE ALSO. *TR

SEAL FOR CRANKSHAFT PULLEY WEARS A RING THE THE PULLEY CAUSING THE PULLEY TO BECOME LOOSE AND LEAK OIL. *TR

MY 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER PULLS TO THE LEFT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING, BRAKING OR COASTING ON BOTH CROWNED AND UNCROWNED ROADS. IT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ON INTERNET WEB FORUMS FOR LANCER ENTHUSIASTS. *TR

IN RELATION TO THE MITSUBISHI LANSER 2008, WITH SLAT OF PUERTO RICO GZN-191 AND ACQUIRED IN THE MOTIVE DEALER BERRIOS CORP. DE HUMACAO, IN MAY, 2007. THIS VEHICLE A NOISE PRESENTS IN THE TRANSMISSION FOR WHAT WAS LED TO GUARANTEE, TODAY ON OCTOBER 24, 2007 TO THE DEALER BEFORE MENTIONED, HERE IT WAS INSPECTED BY THE ING. MR.. FILOMENO RAMOS LOPEZ LIC. * 2224. WHO DETERMINES THAT HAS TO STOOP THE TRANSMISSION OF THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. FOR WHAT IN THIS LETTER I AM EXPRESSING MY OPINION, WHILE TO THAT WE DO NOT AGREE IN THE DECISION THOUGHT BY THE ING., IN HER(IT) OF REPAIRING THE TRANSMISSION OF THE VEHICLE. SINCE OF OUR PART ONE WAS DONE SACRIFICE TO OBTAIN A NEW VEHICLE, IN WHERE NO TYPE WAS HAD OF MECHANICAL DIFFICULTIES. *TR

I HAD PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER IN APRIL 2007. AFTER HAVING THE CAR ONLY 2 WEEKS, IT WOULD NOT START. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS TESTED AND EXAMINED. ALL TESTS CAME BACK PERFECT. FROM THEN ON MY CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY NOT START. EVERY TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS IN THE SHOP 6 TIME FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT 3 1/2 WEEKS! NOTHING COULD BE DETECTED THEREFORE NOTHING WAS EVER FIXED!! I FILED A CLAIM WITH MITSUBISHI AND MY CAR WAS FINALLY DEEMED A LEMON. I HAD RECEIVED ANOTHER BRAND NEW 2008 MITSUBISHI LANCER IN OCTOBER 2007. NOW IT BEING ABOUT 2 WEEKS SINCE HAVING THE CAR, I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM!!!! THE CAR JUST WON'T START. THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE ELSE THAT OWNS ONE OF THESE CARS THAT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES??!! I CANNOT BE THE ONLY PERSON THAT PURCHASED TWO BRAND NEW CARS THAT TURNED OUT TO BE LEMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! *JB
