POWER TRAIN
A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY USED EVO X WITH 30,000 MILES AND A 5 YR/ 60,000 MILE WARRANTY, I NOTICED A PUDDLE OF FLUID ACCUMULATING WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I SOON DID RESEARCH TO DETERMINE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. I LEARNED MY AYC/ACD PUMP IS LEAKING, AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATING IT TURNS OUT THIS PUMP IS NOTORIOUS FOR LEAKING AND FAILING. THE MITSUBISHI DEALER DENIED MY WARRANTY CLAIM AND I WAS NEVER GIVEN A REASON, EVEN AFTER ASKING WHY. I HAVE SINCE THEN CONTACTED A THIRD PARTY DISPUTE CENTER. THIS PUMPS THE NECESSARY FLUID TO THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE ASSEMBLIES. IF THIS PUMP FAILS, IT WILL ULTIMATELY DESTROY THE ENTIRE DRIVE TRAIN/ ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM. RESULTING IN IT LOCKING UP, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO CAUSE THIS PART TO BE FAULTY, UNLESS IT IS DAMAGED, THEREFORE IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD BE REPLACED OR FIXED TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF ITS DRIVER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT AND I RECEIVED A "SERVICE AWD SYSTEM" MESSAGE. CAUSED BY THE ACD/AYC PUMP BEING FAULTY WHICH IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AS CORROSION HAPPENS TO THE EXPOSED PUMP. OPTIONS INCLUDE A $2000-3000 REPLACEMENT OF THE PUMP OR REBUILD ONE AND HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN (WHICH MIGHT SINCE IT IS EXPOSED) AGAIN. REALLY HOPE MITSUBISHI RECALLS THIS ITEM SINCE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL EVOLUTIONS. *TR
