| 2003 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL | CONTINUING CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE. 1. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2003 IT HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AND THEN SUDDENLY INCREASING YOUR SPEED WHILE SAY PASSING OR SPEEDING UP, ONCE YOU LET OFF THE GAS TO RETURN TO THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY REV AND WILL NOT STOP INCREASING SPEED UNTIL YOU RELEASE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY HITTING THE BRAKE OR THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO DISENGAGE THE CONTROL. 2. IT HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME THEN INCREASE SPEED FOR SHORT DISTANCES AND TRY TO RETURN TO THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED. SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 3. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I EXPLAINED THAT THE WOULD NEED TO DRIVE SAY 20 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAR DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO MITSUBISHI AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE ON THEIR WEBSITE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER. *JB |
| 2010 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | WHILE DRIVING HOME IN 100 DEGREE WEATHER WITH A 3/4 FULL GAS TANK THERE WAS SUDDENLY A STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM THE FRONT AIR CONDITIONING VENTS. THE A/C SYSTEM WAS IN RECIRCULATE MODE. THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG THAT I STARTED TO GET DIZZY. I OPENED ALL THE WINDOWS AND PULLED OVER AT MY FIRST CHANCE TO LOOK FOR A LEAK. I DID NOT FIND ANY LEAKS IN THE ENGINE BAY OR UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I WAS ALMOST HOME SO I STARTED THE CAR TO PROCEEDED HOME. WHILE DRIVING I SMELLED THE GAS FUMES AGAIN, THIS TIME I TURN THE A/C SYSTEM TO FRESH AIR AND THE SMELL WENT AWAY. I THEN TURNED THE SYSTEM BETWEEN FRESH AND RECIRCULATE SEVERAL TIMES AND THE SMALL WAS ALWAYS ON THE RECIRCULATE SIDE. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING VENTING INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR BUT I CAN NOT FIND IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AS SOMEONE COULD BECOME DIZZY OR FAINT FROM THE FUMES AND CRASH. *TR |
