I bought a 2004 lancer oz rally brand new, still drive it daily and I've always had this problem too. it was hard to turn to the heat and the knob broke off. I can't use the heat anymore because I can't get it to turn at all. I even tried using needle nose pliers (mine still has some of the white plastic part attached), which worked a few times but now I can't get it to turn at all. in 2006, when the knob broke off, I contacted the dealer where I bought the car from about the problem. they said it would cost at least $800 to repair. I asked why, it's just a knob? they told me they had to take my whole dash apart to fix it and it was mostly labor costs. I can't afford to pay this for a faulty mechanism. I also couldn't use my defroster this morning and really needed it. I had to pull over to wipe my windows... Not safe mitsubishi!!!! please recall this now!!! *tr
