• Recall 2018588 [Canada]: Visual system
  On certain vehicles, water may drain from the windshield cowl area onto the front wiper link ball joint. Over time, this could result in corrosion and/or wear to the joint, which could result in the separation of the wiper link ball. If separation were to occur, the windshield wipers could become inoperative, which could limit the driver’s visibility under certain operating conditions which may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the wiper link rod with a countermeasure one, and will replace the wiper motor crank arm with a new one.

• Recall 2017475 [Canada]: Engine
  On certain vehicles, defective electrical relays may have been installed in the power distribution center. This could cause various electrical circuits to fail, potentially resulting in engine stalling, reduced engine power, or loss of engine cooling fan function potentially resulting in engine overheating. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace affected relay(s) with updated parts.

• Recall 2016379 [Canada]: Powertrain
  On certain vehicles equipped with a continuously variable transmission (cvt), the range switch could momentarily experience a loss of signal. If this occurs, the driver may experience an unexpected reduction of vehicle acceleration which could, in conjunction with traffic, road conditions and the driver's reactions, increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will reprogram the cvt-ecu.

• Air bag acu electrical overstress investigation as of 20190419

  The office of defects investigation (odi) is expanding the investigation to include the equipment supplier and vehicle manufacturers (oems) using this unit.The investigation focuses on acus manufactured by trw, now zf-trw (zf) , the tier-one supplier to hyundai and kia and the other affected oems.The acu senses a vehicle crash to determine whether air bag deployment is required, and if so, deploys the appropriate air bags and other supplemental restraints.Zf supplied subject acus to six oems: fca, honda, hyundai, kia, mitsubishi and toyota.Internal to the acu is an electronic component (an application specific integrated circuit, or asic) that monitors signals from crash sensors.A failure of the asic may prevent deployment of the required air bags and devices, or may otherwise affect the proper operation of the acu.The acu is located in the passenger compartment, and electrical wiring connects the asic to sensors located at the front of the vehicle.Odi’s current understanding is that a crash event may, in and of itself, produce harmful signals on the sensor wiring capable of damaging the asic, although the probability of this occurring appears to be low.While the acu incorporates electrical circuitry intended to protect the asic from harmful signals, the level and effectiveness of the protective circuitry varies by oem customer.During pe18-003, hyundai and kia filed recalls (18v-137 and 18v-363 respectively) to address a defect that could result in acu disablement and non-deployments.According to the filings, the disablement occurs in certain types of frontal crash events.Both filings discussed a condition known as electrical overstress (eos) that affected the subject asic and was likely caused by electrical signals that entered the acu via sensor wiring.The recalled vehicles used acus that had the lowest levels of asic protection while non-recalled hyundai and kia products using subject acus had higher levels of protection.Odi has not identified any eos failures in the non-recalled kia and hyundai populations.In september 2016, fca filed recall 16v-668 for certain model year (my) 2010 to 2014 chrysler, dodge and jeep products also manufactured with the subject acu.In that filing, fca also discussed an eos condition that resulted in a failure of the subject asic, which caused air bag non-deployment. Fca noted that the defect condition had only been observed in vehicles equipped with sensor harnessing routed across the front of the vehicle.Other fca vehicles that also used the subject acu, but not the cross-car harnessing, had not experienced eos failures, despite similar time in service. The recalled fca vehicles used a mid-level form of asic protection.Other fca vehicles that did not use cross car wiring, or used higher levels of asic protection, have not been recalled.Odi has not identified any eos failures in the non-recalled fca population.Recently, odi has identified two substantial frontal crash events (one fatal) involving toyota products where eos is suspected as the likely cause of the non-deployments.The crashes involved a my 2018 and a my 2019 corolla equipped with the subject acu that incorporated higher levels of asic protection.Additionally, both acus were found to be non-communicative (meaning the acu could not be read with an event data recorder) after the crash, a condition found in other cases where eos occurred with other oems.No other eos events have been identified for other toyota products (including corolla models that used the subject acu since my 2011), or for the honda and mitsubishi vehicles that use the subject acu.Odi plans to evaluate the susceptibility of the subject acu designs to electrical signals, as well as other vehicle factors that can either lead to, or reduce the likelihood of, an eos event.Additionally, odi will evaluate whether an unreasonable risk exists that requires further field action.

• U0141 [3] Lost Communication With Body Control Module "A"

When i try to accelerate, the car starts out really slow. There is a lot of jerking and acceleration issues. When i try to accelerate, it acts like it is shifted to l, but then it speeds up. This is a constant issue.

As i was driving it it seems to hesitate on accelerating after a few stops the transmission light would come on for a little bit then go off. Same with the check engine light. As i was driving it to work on the highway.. It suddenly started losing power and i was able to pull over and park it at a gas station where it went completely dead.. I had aaa tow it.. It started up but the shifting is not engaging right away. Had the software updated in 2019.. The cvt transmission are full of problems. It seems to have the same symptoms as the recall but my car was not recalled according to the vin number.. I had a flush done recently and i have also had the oil changed when needed. The acceleration hesitation then loss of power while driving 60 on the freeway is a safety issue... A lot of semi trucks travel that highway and they cant stop when a car loses power in front of them.

Automatic cvt transmission began failing at 60,000 miles. Transmission fluid was changed at 30k miles, 55k miles, 80k, and 98,000 miles. Transmission completely failed at 98,000 miles. This is due to a manufacturer defect and we should not have to pay for this out of pocket. Please open a recall. This has been reported several times on this vin series. The vehicle hesitates to switch gears and cannot enter 4th gear or higher. Transmission slips with acceleration. Please recall!

Accident that resulted in the car being declared total loss. The car was hit in the upper front and side area of drivers side. During the accident the air bags did not deploy. Resulted in injuries, of course. The car was making left handed turn from residential area onto a busy main street. And the other vehicle was not paying attention and hit the car while it was trying to turn. The car was going approximately 15-20 mph. The other vehicle was going 40-45 mph. What would cause the air bags to malfunction?? Because i would love to know why injuries had to even occur since they only happened due to the malfunction of the air bags.

The light stating to service my transmission came on. The maintenance mileage was within stated parameters.Service was completed, transmission fluid changed. Drove away and the light turned on. My transmission failed in april of 2019.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 mitsubishi lancer. After coming to a stop, the vehicle would not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. In addition, the service transmission warning indicator illuminated intermittently. The contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 16v563000(power train). The contact attempted to notify the manufacturer, but his call was not answered. Bakersfield mitsubishi (4600 wible rd, bakersfield, ca 93313, (661) 398-9422) was also contacted, but a representative gave him information regarding an unrelated vehicle issue. The contact was provided a quote for the repair cost and was offered no further assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 98,600.

I was driving down the freeway at 65 mph, when i heard a very loud sound, like a gunshot, and my sunroof shattered. There was no rock or impact to my car, it just spontaneously exploded with glass raining everywhere. When i took it to the dealership, they told me it was clear that there was no rock impact to the sunroof because of the way that the remaining glass was bowed outward. However, when they submitted the documentation to mitsubishi corporate, after 8 hours of review, they declined to cover it under warranty, stating that it must have been due to a rock impact or other collision and not because of a glass or manufacturer defect.

I have been driving this car for a couple of months now and every once in a while very randomly i experienced a loss of acceleration completely. It happens after a long period of driving and when i'm coming up to a stop sign and going to accelerate again after doing research online and taking it to my dealership they will not do anything because they cannot figure out the problem i found a recall on the nhtsa website for my vehicle with my vin number included in the range of in numbers experiencing this exact problem. I need help getting my dealership to acknowledge this because it is not on their website. I have almost been rear-ended multiple times because of this problem and i am afraid for my safety

I have noticed an issue with my cars acceleration from a 0 mile per hour starting point to a 30 mph. It is very sudden and random. It has occurred several times from a stop at a traffic light or a stop sign. There is a second to as long as 4 second hesitation in acceleration. Accelerator pedal is pressed and the car takes off for a brief second or 2 before the few second hesitation occurs. It can be dangerous if this occurs when pulling out on a busy highway with traffic coming. For those few seconds there is nothing you can do but press the gas pedal harder when though the car is not doing anything. After those few seconds the car transmission kicks in and you eventually have control in acceleration once again. Took to the dealer today. They said no recalls on the vehicle. Online i see a similar recall on the outlander transmission but service tech says he checked and nothing on the lancer. They drove my car and of course it don't happen. It's very random. It usually happens once a week. It has prob occurred about 10 times if not more. There is no way to expect it so now i have to take extreme caution when i'm about to pull out on a busy road with traffic coming my way. Has anyone else had this issue with their lancer?
