Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Problems
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.
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.
Coolant Leak & Engine Overheating
An engine coolant leak may develop from the water pump requiring replacement of the leaking pump.
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.

Air Bags May Not Deploy Correctly in States Where Salt Is Used on the Roads
RepairPal Expert Overview:
Where heavy salt is used on the roads, the mixture of melted snow and salt may stick to the front impact sensors. Over time, this causes corrosion of the sensor, and could cause a possible delay in the deployment of the air bags in the event of a collision. The delay in deployment could cause an injury. Dealers will install new front air bag sensors with improved corrosion resistance. The recall began on November 27, 2009.
