2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Complaints

'TAKATA RECALL' I RAN INTO A TREE AT 55MPH AND HIT A TREE. WHEN I HIT THE TREE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 1130 AT NIGHT NO RAIN OR ANYTHING. I HIT A DEER AT 72 MPH LOTS OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND DRIVERSIDE.. MY SEST BELT WAS LOCKED BUT NOT ONE OF MY AIR BAGS COME OUT..

CAR HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN JUST UNDER 6 MONTHS WITH NO ABUSE AND WITH JUST AT 10,000 MILES THE CLUTCH FAILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER CLAIM WEAR ITEM. IF THE CAR HAD 40,00 OR MORE MILES I MIGHT ACCEPT, BUT THEY BUILT A CAN WITH AN ENGINE THAT PRODUCES OVER 300 FT.LBS. OF TORQUE, AND APPARENTLY INSTALLED A CLUTCH AND PRESSURE PLATE THAT DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE CLAMPING AND HOLDING ABILITIES FOR THE ENGINE IN THE CAR. THE ARE CLAIMING WEAR ITEM AND WANT APPROXIMATELY $2,000.00 FOR THE REPAIR OF WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A DEFECTIVE OR INTENTIONALLY INSUFFICIENT PART TO PROPERLY CONTAIN THE OUTPUT OF THE CARS ENGINE AND ARE PASSING THE COST ON TO THE BUYERS. THESE ARE ALSO NOT ENTRY LEVEL CARS AND ARE ADVERTISED AS HIGH POWER, PERFORMANCE CARS. CLUTCH BEGAN SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING THEREBY CREATING AN UNSAFE OPERATING CONDITION. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS ALSO PURCHASED AND THE CLAIM IS BEING DENIED BY BOTH THE MANUFACTURE, AND THE ADD ON WARRANTY COMPANY AS WEAR ITEMS,

VEHICLE WILL AT RANDOM MAKE A CLICKING NOISE, WHILE ALL LIGHTS ON DASH WILL FLICKER ON & OFF. IF CAR IS IN DRIVE, IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF. HOWEVER, WHEN IN PARK, IF THE CLICKING/FLASHING OCCURS, THE CAR WILL SHUTOFF & NOT TURN BACK ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MITSUBISHI DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, TO WHICH THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER SOLVED. CAR HAS BEEN STALLED OUT COMPLETELY (WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL EXCEPT CLICKING/FLASHING) FOR GOING ON 2 WEEKS. MITSUBISHI CORPORATE WILL NOT ASSIST AS THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. THE DEALER STATES IT IS THE LOJACK COMPONANT (WHICH WAS INSTALLED BY DEALER PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE IN 2015). LOJACK STATES IT IS NOT THEIR PRODUCT AS IT IS SELF-SUSTAINING & WILL NOT PROHIBIT THE BATTERY OF THE VEHILCLE. MITSUBISHI SAYS ITS LOJACK SHORTING OUT THE BATTERY. THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM (CITY MITSUBISHI) WAS SOLD & IS NOW NORTHSTAR MITSUBISHI. COPORATE REFUSES TO ASSIST, & THE LOCAL DEALERS WILL NOT ASSIST. MY CAR IS NOT OPERABLE.

CVT TRANSMISSION; VEHICLE HAS 45K MILES, NO RECALL WAS RECORDED FOR MY VIN BUT I CLEARLY EXPERIENCE THE STATED SYMPTOMS OF THE COMMUNICATION LOSS BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THERE IS A BRIEF "HESITATION " FAILURE TO MOVE. WHEN HIGHWAY DRIVING, ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS THERE IS ALSO "HESITATION ". MY LAST CONCERN UNMENTIONED BY THE MANUFACTURER IS THE CONSTANT OVER-HEATING OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IN MANY FORUMS AROUND THE WORLD IT'S A CONSTANT ISSUE, THE CONSUMER IS FORCED TO REPAIR WITH AFTERMARKET ADD ON TRANSMISSION COOLERS, FLUID CHANGES, ETC. MOST HIGHWAYS AROUND MY HOME REQUIRE 70MPH SPEED LIMITS, I TRAVEL 50 MILES FOR WORK EACH DAY, THE OVER-HEATING HAS COST ME TIME AND MONEY AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO CONSIDER THE WORK WARRANTY. IT'S A FACTORY DEFECT IN DESIGN AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED VIA MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBILITY.
