Common Problems, Issues, Recalls, and Reliability

  • No Start and/or Stalling Condition Due to Faulty Crankshaft Posiiton Sensor

    The crankshaft position sensor may fail causing a stalling can/or no start condition. Replacing the faulty crankshaft position sensor should correct this condition.

  • Sticky Temperature Knob

    The heating, ventilation and AC ( HVAC ) temperature control knob may be hard to turn. Mitsubishi Motors has released a service bulletin outlining the necessary repairs. Repairs involve installing a new air blend door lever and link, lubing the blend door track, and installing a filter on top of the blower motor housing to prevent entry of dirt and debris. If the temperature control assembly has been damaged it will require replacement also.

  • Hard or no start condition due to worn camshaft sensor support

    A hard or no start condition with fault codes P0335 and/or P0340 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) may be due to abnormal wear of the camshaft position sensor support. Our technicians tell us a revised sensor support is available to correct this issue.

  • The Clutch May Failure Prematurely

    The clutch may fail prematurely requiring replacement. It has been recommended by some that a high quality aftermarket replacement clutch may provide increased longevity over a clutch purchased from the dealer.

  • The clear coat paint may peel

    It is not uncommon for the clear coat paint to develop white spots and begin peeling. In most cases Mitsubishi will not cover out of warranty repairs for this condition.

  • Check Engine Light due to code P0171

    The Check Engine Light may illuminate with a stored code P0171 . Our technicians tell us this can be a result of an engine vacuum leak at one or more of the fuel injector insulators. Improved insulators are available to correct this concern.

  • Check Engine Light due to code P0231

    The Check Engine Light may illuminate with a stored code P0231. Our technicians tell us a powertrain control module (PCM) software update is available to correct this concern.

  • Check Engine Light due to code P0134 and/or P0154

    The Check Engine Light may illuminate with a stored code P0134 and/or P0154. Our technicians tell us a powertrain control module (PCM) software update is available to correct this concern.
