Since the second year since I've owned this car the temperature control knob has been frozen. the only way you can turn the knob IS to have a mechanic manually turn the knob underneath the vehicle. mitsubishi motors admitted this was a design flaw in 2002 to 2007 mitsubishi lancers and outlanders. I have called mitsubishi many times and sent letters of complaints but they will not do anything about it but leave the vehicles owner in what can be a dangerous situations. I've had to drive in emergency situations before and the knob was stuck on air conditioning it was freezing temperatures where I was driving in and you could not use the defroster be cause it was on cold air! you had to pull over and scrape the window and continually wipe the clouded over window. I paid $23,000 for this vehicle and not to have control of the heat and air IS rediculus! you cannot always get your vehicle into a mechanic and have them manually turn the heat and air knob. And that's all you have a choice of IS either heat or cold air. the hvac system was inappropriately designed by mitsubishi and the cable from the knob bunches up and does not work anymore. I thought not being able to use the defroster IS a safety hazard. mitsubishi needs to own up to this and recall what has affected 1000s of vehicles. you can be in an area of the country where you need the air conditioning and then drive into a snow storm and you can't use the defroster unless you find a mechanic in the middle of the night to change it over to heat. this IS definitely a safety issue not being able to turn the knob to the setting you need at will for the defroster. vehicle owners have complained to mitsubishi but will not fixit. this has been an ongoing issue with my car since 2004. the photo shows the heat and air conditioning knob that can only be manually turned by a mechanic.

The issue began in 2004 when my vehicle was 1 year old. the temperature control knob became frozen and you could not turn it from heat to air conditioning or the other way. I spent $23,000 on this car and you could not turn from air conditioning to heat at will only a mechanic can manually turn it underneath the vehicle and then only put it on hot or cold. one time I was driving 600 miles for an emergency with the knob stuck on air conditioning and I was not able to turn it to heat. it was below freezing temperatures and the window fogged up because I was not able to put the defroster on. I had to continually pull over to wipe off the window and the frost. there could have been an accident if I had not continually pulled over. 2002 to 2007 lancers and outlanders have this problem. it was a design flaw by the manufacturer but they will not own up to this dangerous problem. I have had it to a mechanic many times but they cannot fix it. I do not understand why mitsubishi IS not forced to fix this for consumers when this IS clearly a dangerous problem if you cannot use the defroster. I should not be made to pay for something when it IS a manufacturing flaw. there are 1000s of vehicles on the road with this problem and mitsubishi will not own up that this IS a clearly safety issue. the consumer has no power in this situation I have called customer service and am told they will do nothing about it unless it's recalled. thank you for your help in this matter I have no place else to get help with this and I can't afford another vehicle. this IS wrong mitsubishi allows cars on the road with this problem and turns a blind eye to potentially dangerous situations. thank you for your assistance.

Car has been owned for 10+ years and has been maintained very well. Gas mileage has dropped since 2014. Car threw a P420 code in the years after. Catalytic converter has been replaced four times in a year. Oxygen sensor has been replaced and new exhaust has been installed. We have now seen the exhaust manifold has a crack in it. This appears to be a manufacturer issue.

Heavy smell of gasoline when fuel tank IS filled. Fill garage with fumes. Check engine light IS on. if filled to a half tank or so, no indication of fuel smell. Does not appear to be leaking. I had an ase certified mechanic look at it and the fuel tank as well as filler nozzle are deteriorated. I called mitsubishi motors north america and they acted as if this was the first time they ever heard of this problem. I called multiple dealers, and all have experienced the same problem with their customers. the inter-net IS full of similar complaints on 2003 to 2006 outlanders. I have had a recall for the front end because of excessive rust making it unsafe to drive. I do not think this IS a normal wear and tear with the fuel tank. Mitsubishi should acknowledge this problem and correct it for their customers. I am the original owner. the car IS always garaged when not being driven.

Received a safety recall notice in august 2016. As of this date the part to repair the vehicle IS not available. Have call mitsubishi several times and they keep saying the part IS being processed. Confusion as to whether the parts are sent to a dealer for repair or if the vehicle needs to be inspected first and then the part IS ordered by the dealer. The dealer claims that the vehicle needs to be inspected first then the part IS ordered if necessary. Mitsubishi states that they will determine how many parts to send to what dealers. Confusion. Nearest dealer to me IS 3 to 4 hours one way trip. If the vehicle needs to be inspected first before the part IS ordered then if will have to make two 6 to 8 hour round trips. How the dealer knows how many parts to send to what dealers does't make sense. This part IS needed to prevent the vehicle's steering from failing. The part IS the lower control arm. Please clear this up for me.

I am referring to a well known "sticky hvac mix door" issue in the mitsubishi outlander and lancer vehicles in model year 2003 (perhaps among other years and models). this issue can result in an inability to defrost the windshield during cold weather driving. I have had the "sticky" issue for some time, which, while it was difficult to turn the knob, was not a huge issue. however, recently while driving, the door went from "sticky" to "stuck," on the "cold" setting. My windows gradually started to fog and I was unable to defog them since the system could not blow hot air due to the stuck mix door. I was driving on an interstate highway (I-39) in central wisconsin at the time, on august 27, 2016 in the evening. in late summer / early autumn, there IS a wide temperature swing during the day and night, so flipping from hot to cold settings IS very common. fortunately it was not extremely cold so I was able to turn off the hvac and open all my windows in order to get by during my short drive. however, in the winter, I need to have it set on "hot" at all times: therefore, for winter driving, my car will not be drivable at all due to this issue. please issue a recall in cold weather states asap. this IS a very well known issue with these vehicles, but only at this time did it become a serious cause of concern: when the hvac mix door IS stuck on the cold setting, the inability to defog the windshield IS a serious safety issue for the driver as well as for anyone else sharing the road.
