THE HEATER KNOB WON'T MOVE TO HEAT ON MY 2004 MITSUBISHI LANCER CAUSING NO HEAT TO COME FROM THE HEATERS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE MY WINDOWS ICE UP DURING WINTER AND CANNOT DEFROST EVEN ON REGULAR DAYS. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC TO HOOK THE VEHICLE UP TO A MACHINE (3/5/08). HE THEN TELLS ME THAT I NEED TO CONTACT A MITSUBISHI DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THEM REPAIR THE RECALL OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER DUE TO IT BEING RECALLED IN THE SYSTEM AND THAT HE WOULD NOT TURN OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF UNTIL I THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FIX. AS SO AS I GOT HOME I GOT ON THE WEBSITE TO RETRIEVE THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WITH PHONE NUMBER. I THEN CONTACTED THE TODEY DEALERSHIP WHICH IS LOCATED IN VENTURA COUNTY WHICH IS 2 HOURS AWAY. MY APPOINTMENT IS SCHEDULED ON SATURDAY 3/7/08. ON THAT FRIDAY I DROVE DOWN TO STAY WITH MY BOYFRIEND AND WE WENT OUT THAT EVENING (3/7/08) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME OFF MY ITSELF. I STILL TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. I ARRIVED 30MIN BEFORE MY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. THE SERVICE WRITER OF TODEY DEALERSHIP TOOK ALL MY INFORMATION NEEDED TO PUT INTO THE SYSTEM. HE THEN SAID THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO GO INTO THE RECALL WEBSITE TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND HAVE THE TECHNICIAN HOOK THE VEHICLE UP TO THE MACHINE. 1 HOUR LATER HE THEN CAME TO ME THAT THE RECALL WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT I HAVE WENT OVER MY MILEAGE WHERE IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I HAD ADVISED HIM THAT I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN REGARDS TO BEING A RECALL TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. ON MONDAY HE WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT THE WARRANTY OFFICE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER TO FIX THE RECALL. HE ALSO ADVISED ME THAT IF I WANTED TO REPAIR THE RECALL NOW, THAT I WOULD COME UP WITH $1,000.00 TO ORDER THE PART WHICH I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD WAIT FOR HIS PHONE CALL IN REGARDS TO ANSWERS IF THE WARRANTY OFFICE WOULD COVER THE PART. I BASICALLY DROVE 2 HOURS AWAY AND DIDN'T GET ANYTHING ACCOMPLISH FOR MY VEHICLE BEING REPAIRED DUE TO A RECALL ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 MITSUBISHI LANCER RALLIART SEDAN AND PAID IT OFF IN FULL UPON RECIEPT OF THE VEHICLE. IN THE PAST FEW YEARS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES, HOWEVER MY PRIMARY CONCERN TODAY IS A SENSOR THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED FOR THE 5TH TIME TODAY. THE SENSOR IS CALLED THE APP SENSOR. WHEN IT GOES OUT, IT CAUSES MY VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY DECELERATE AND THE ENGINE WON'T REV PAST 2,500 RPM'S. THIS HAS BECOME AN ISSUE BECAUSE TWO DAYS AGO THE SENSOR WENT OUT ON ME AGAIN, AFTER BEING REPLACED JUST WEEKS AGO. THIS TIME WHEN THE SENSOR WENT OUT, IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE INVOLVED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON I25. I HAVE ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHY THIS PART KEEPS FAILING ON ME AND THEY REPLIED "WE DON'T KNOW, YOUR THE ONLY PERSON WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART FOR AND DONT KNOW WHAT COULD CAUSE THE PART TO GO OUT." THIS CONCERNS ME A GREAT DEAL BECAUSE IF THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO REPAIR, HOW CAN I TRUST MY SAFETY WHENEVER I AM DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN? I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT ARAPAHOE MITSUBISHI AND SERVICE REP BRIAN GREEN. I HAVE RECEIPTS OF ALL REPAIRS AND CAN SEND THEM TO YOU IF YOU NEED THEM. *JB

WHENEVER DRIVING, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPS ACCELERATING OVER 2500 RPM'S. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY, IT CAUSES MY CAR TO DRASTICALLY SLOW DOWN, AND I AM FORCED TO QUICKLY MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION. DEALER HAS REPLACED THE APP SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE TWICE ALREADY WITHIN SEVERAL MONTHS, AND IS CURRENTLY REPLACING IT A THIRD TIME. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY. *NM

ENGINE MAKES TICKING SOUND WHEN FIRST STARTED. SOUNDS LIKE OIL IS NOT GETTING THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE, EVEN WHEN THE OIL LEVEL IS FINE. *NM
