2003 Mitsubishi Outlander Problems
HVAC Temperature Knob Hard to Turn
The heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) temperature control knob may be hard to turn. Mitsubishi Motors has released a service bulletin out 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.
Erratic Blower Motor Operation Due to Failed Resistor and/or Fan Motor
Erratic HVAC blower motor operation may be caused by a failed blower motor and/or blower motor resistor. Our technicians tell us that if the blower motor resistor fails the blower motor should be checked. If the blower motor fails its functional test in should be replaced along with the failed blower motor resistor.
Engine Overheating Due to Failed Cooling Fan Controller
An engine overheating condition may develop due to a failed radiator cooling fan controller. The failed controller should be replaced to correct this issue.
Check Engine Light Due to Code P0181
The Check Engine Light may illuminate with a stored code P0181. Our technicians tell us the fuel level sensor may be at fault requiring replacement.
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.
AC Not Cold Due to Failed Pressure Switch
The AC may not blow cold air due to a failed pressure switch. A failed switch will require replacement to restore proper AC operation.
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.
The automatic transmission may fail prematurely
The automatic transmission may fail prematurely. Transmission overhaul or replacement may be necessary to correct this concern.
rusted front exhaust pipe
the exhaust system noise was due to a rusted and cracked flex section on the front "Y" pipe. Dealer cost for the pipe alone was over $350.00. I saved over $125.00 with an online warehouse.
