ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
DROVE OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WITHIN 5 SECONDS ABS MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS STABILITY CONTROL. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR ABS SENSOR WAS FAULTY DUE TO THE SENSOR NOT BEING SEALED CORRECTLY BY THE MANUFACTURER WHICH LED TO CORROSION AND THE SENSOR FAILING. MITSUBISHI WOULD NOT WARRANTY THIS ITEM EVEN THOUGH ITS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY, MITSUBISHI EVEN HAS A NEW PART NUMBER FOR THE SENSOR. THIS SHOULD OBVIOUSLY BE A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED A SQUEAKING SOUND COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY ENGINE WHEN MY CAR WAS IDLING. AFTER THE CAR WARMED UP (5-10 MIN), THE SOUND WOULD GO AWAY. THE SOUND APPEARED TO BE BELT RELATED SO I CHECKED THE SERPENTINE (ACCESSORY) BELT AND NOTICED SIGNS OF WEAR AND TEAR ON THE BELT AND THE IDLER PULLEY . I CHANGED THE BELT OUT (WAS CLOSE TO RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT DATE ANYWAY) BUT THE SOUND IS STILL THERE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS QUITE COMMON WITH 2006 EVOLUTION OWNERS AND THERE IS NO DEFINITE FIX FROM THE DEALER. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THE WEAR AND TEAR CREATED BY THE BELT/PULLEY (OR WHATEVER THE CULPRIT MAY BE) COULD EASILY LEAD TO A FAILURE IN ONE OF THE ACCESSORY SYSTEMS (ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP, POWER STEERING) AND COULD BE DANGEROUS TO MY CAR OR EVEN WORSE TO ME. *TR
