Accident 8/10/2016, the driver's side seat belt broke which allowed me to get tossed around my car and it flipped 8 times. None of the side airbags deployed.
I was traveling southbound on the florida turnpike, i was on the left hand lane when i looked through the rearview mirror and noticed a vehicle behind doing about 80-90 miles per hour. I merged to the middle lane so that they could continue on. They were recklessly driving and they swerved to my lane, i proceeded to swerve to avoid getting hit and when i tried to hit the brakes they jammed on me. I lost control of the car and hit the right divider with the front of my car, the car proceeded to spin out of control and every angle of the car was hit with divider and then i ended up in the middle lane facing traffic. Only 3 out of 8 airbags deployed. The main airbag which was the steering wheel airbag and knee airbags did not deploy. The car is claimed to be a total loss by geico.
I accidentally rear ended the car in front of me, there was significant damage to the front end of my car and no air bag deployed, rather, a fair amount of dust filled the inside of my car.
I was on the 4th floor of a parking garage in my town and was going up to the top level. As i am about to turn the corner, i realize i am going a bit faster than i thought. So i apply full pressure to the brakes which did not work as fast as they were supposed to. The tow truck man later told me that i was going around 20 to 30 mph at time of impact. When i hit the pillar in front of me, the airbag didn't deploy and my seatbelt did not tighten as they were supposed to. This meant that my whole body snapped forward and impacted collarbone first into the steering wheel. After this incident, my whole left side felt numb and i was left with a swollen collarbone and contusions from the impact.
The air bag light comes on and off when driving the car or parked and running. I see there was a recall on the airbag module thru 2007 lancer. Mine has 71k miles. Is there a recall in the works for 2009 models?
Was not aware of this new recall in july 2020 a detached front control arm may make you lose control of the car .my 17 year old daughter lost control of her car because the right side tire started to shake and the steering wheel locked up and she was unable to control car and wrecked on 6/26/2020 her air bags on passenger side came out when she went off the road in a ditch. She was driving in clear conditions at 55 mphand the rightfront side started to shake. She was given a ticket for failure to maintain control of her car. And has a court date with reckless driving. I can give you the va court id for the details of this.

As im driving down the highway 95 or i4, my car in the odemeter area prompts the car to slow down on the car slows down on the highway until it stops. This is very dangerous as it slows down traffic when diving on the highway. This car then have to cool down for 20 mintues . This car can not drive in traffic for no more than two hours then it slows down and stop.
The ecu is bad and the headlights will turn off while driving there is many complaints on the internet about this but they refuse to acknowledge its an issue and want near 1000 $ to fix the issue.we have had the light turn off while driving several time causing my wife to panic and causing alarm that could have resulted in an accident
The contact owns a 2009 mitsubishi lancer. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the blower failed and the front wind shield could not be defrosted. The contact also indicated that while idling, the engine rpms would fluctuate and the engine would appear to be stalling. In addition, the vehicle would not accelerate properly from a standing start. The cause of the failures were not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.
I took my vehicle into cutrubus mitsubishi dealer in layton, ut to have my car maintenanced for recalled parts on 11 august 2015, which was the earliest appointment they had available after recall notification. Took vehicle in at 08:00 and the service department stated that the car could not be determined if it was one of the defected vehicles until 12:00 that day. When asked if i could get a loan vehicle in order to go back to work, cutrubus dealer denied. They also stated if my car had the defective parts it could take 48 hours to fix my vehicle and still denied a loaner vehicle. I could not leave my car to have the safety recall fixed due to being active duty in the air force and being a single parent, i can not go without a vehicle. The manager was notified and i spoke with mitsubishi manufacturer and they stated they are not responsible for supplying a loaner vehicle but it would be up to the dealership if they wanted to or not. I have concerns since this is a safety recall.
The contact owns a 2009 mitsubishi lancer. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle's brake and rear lights failed to illuminate. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact researched online and found nhtsa campaign number: 15v232000 (electrical system). The manufacturer confirmed that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v232000 (electrical system). The failure mileage was 106,000.

Shortly after starting the engine; take a turn left and then made; i turn on the abs light shortly after engine light lit too and, days later, the abs light went out. The next day i started the engine; running the car at 15 to 35 miles, sounds a hit; in the transmission and abs light comes on again. This has been doing so far.
I was driving northbound on the ca is-15 north at approximately 5:55 pm pst between the exits of 138/wrightwood and the route 395/joshua street exit. I was traveling in the fast lane going about 68-72 mph. I got a "service required" error light flashing, then the "slow down" light came on with a picture of a thermometer. I checked the temperature gauge (which is displayed on the led screen by the speedometer, not the usual independent gauge) and the temperature showed that it was right in the middle, which should be working great. I slowed down to 50 mph as i merged from the #1 (fast) lane to the slow lane by the road shoulder and my engine lost power. Luckily i had enough power to get over to the should before the usual line of semi-trucks blew past me. I checked the coolant, oil, and ctv trans fluid levels, all were at capacity.this is the second time that i had experienced this issue. The first time was this same time last year (august, 2012). I had bought the car used in july 2012. The first time this occurred the dealership (victorville mitsubishi) fixed it under tsb 10-23-005. At that point the car only had 46,000 miles on it. I plan to take the car back into the dealer this saturday, provided i can make it back up the hill today and tomorrow.this is a really serious problem and i hope it becomes an official recall. Luckily i wasn't run off the road or rear ended and killed with the loss of power issue due to the faulty sensor.
I was driving down the road and heard a pop noise. Smoke came rolling out from underneath my front drivers side seat. I stopped and looked, but found no fire. Now the speakers do not work and the box underneath my seat smells like smoke. There was no fire, but definitely could have been.
I have an 09 mitsubishi lancer es sport with the sun and sound package. The amplifier, which is under my drivers side seat, for the sound system started smoking and sparking. I took it to the dealership, who replaced it, and a week ago, while i was driving, it started smoking and sparking again, but stops when you power off the radio, if the power is on in the radio, it continues to smoke and spark. I believe there may be a wiring defect in my car that is causing this to happen and fear that if it continues my car may eventually catch on fire. Dealer will not look at it again unless i pay $120 initial fee.
The blower motor was recalled, but according to mitsubishi motors, my car was not part of the recall.i had to replace the blower motor yesterday and have the defective part that shows it was recalled in mitsubishi's safety recall bulletin sr−15−003 dated june 2015.i contacted mitusubishi directly, and the representative i spoke with told me that my vehicle was not part of this recall.this is frustrating, as i have the defective blower motor which is clearly marked with the recalled number.i believe mitsubishi missed some cars in their recall.my car was manufactured in june 2008, which makes it an early 2009 model.i would like reimbursement for the new replacement blower motor i had to purchase.i have receipts and the faulty motor.
I've had my 09 lancer since july of 2008. I haven't had any problems up until recently. For about the past month now, on four occasions, usually in the morning, when i go to start my car it just wont start. It makes the same sound as if my car was to start, but just doesn't. So i have to wait and keep trying to get it to start. I brought it to the dealership where i purchased it (girard mitsubishi) on 4/1/09 and the mechanic had said he ran it through the computer and couldn't find anything wrong with it.
The brake lights were no longer functioning, but the tail lights were still operating. The car failed inspection due to brake lights not functioning and the vehicle was taken to the dealership for diagnostics. The ecu, part number 8637c096 is what is in my vehicle. There is a safety recall for a 2009 lancer, sr-15-002, for the ecu but because of the part number (8637a826) difference the dealership will not replace my ecu that is faulty. Upon further personal investigation i have found several issues surrounding the ecu for lancers;10091781, 10158957, 10142736, 10117850, 10158956, 10158955, 10142736, 10158957.several individuals have reported electrical problems and that the company would not fix the issue. (https://www.carcomplaints.com/mitsubishi/lancer/2009/electrical/electrical_system.shtml) part numbers are "not typically given out" i was told at the dealership on september 24th, 2020. The replacement part number i was given would be 8637c496. However, this part must be programmed by a liscened dealer....this monopoly of parts, refusal to give out part identification numbers, and extreme cost (of the part ~$870) has caused people to be unable to afford the repair while the manufacture is essentially not covering the cost of the safety concern and puts the cost of repair on the consumer.. Or the vehicle cannot pass inspection and therefor cannot continue to be in service. I will not own another mitsubishi because of this. My husband purchased this car brand new. I am the second owner and all safety recalls, service, and even tire rotations have been maintained on this car. After the diagnostic test was completed, and i left the dealership to return home the brake lights stayed on after my car was parked and the key removed from the ignition. At this time my 2009 lancer is sitting at the dealership, and i was asked if i would like to order the part to replace.

I went to a recall service for sunroof and drive belt on april 09,2018.today, after one year i'm waiting yet for the mitsubishi call because the parts was unavailable, so they ordered them. I called many times, they said the drive belt arrived but not the sunroof. They have the drive belt and did not call me to install it. My a/c compressor stop working, i'm not sure but somebody told that this drive belt and a/c compressor works together. Today i received a postal letter from mitsubishi to warning about the sunroof again. One year ago i went with the car for inspection and i still waiting

As i was driving up the i5 going up the grapevine in ca at 65-70mph my vehicle made a beeping noise and dash showed thermometer that said slow down. I slowed down to 60mph and went into the left lane or (slow lane where semi trucks drive). All of a sudden the car started to slow down more and more until a semi truck got extremely close and had to veer into a faster lane because my car was only going 40mph. I found an exit and exited the freeway. I came to a stop, when it was my turn to go, my car would not accelerate. The car was on and it was in drive but would not move. Fortunately a chp vehicle came along and stopped traffic long enough for my brother and 13 year old nephew to push the vehicle off the road. This was the second time this exact incident occurred in this vehicle. The first time i was with my mother and was on the same freeway, luckily that time we were closer to the exit and were able to get safely to the side of the road. Please investigate this issue because it is extremely unsafe to have these vehicles on the road suddenly slow down in front of semi trucks that are not equipped to stop at short distances.

Headlight not working.
Low beam headlights will randomly turn off while driving. This is a recall on 2009 lancers manufactured between jan 12, 2009 and july 6, 2010. My car was manufactured on march 18, 2008. I feel this recall needs to be revised as my car has the same issue as what others have reported that were part of the recall. This seems more than just a coincidence.
We have issues with the low beam headlights malfunctioning. They would cut off while going down the road. Would stay on when car and lights were turned off and we would have to take the relay out to get them turned off. They would flash on and off while the car was on or off. Replaced numerous relays, returned multifunction switch three times. This caused our son to have a wreck as the low beams lights turned off and a car not seeing him pulled out in front of him. Started a 1 1/2 years ago, there have been numerous other complaints about the headlights turning off and nothing being done. Something needs to be done before another accident occurs or death from accident.
Vehicle head lights will randomly turn off while driving. The dealer says my etacs is faulty. This is the same symptoms that has forced a recall on other lancers. Sr-15-002. I feel this recall needs to be expanded.

Having nothing but problems can't drive more than 20 minutes on the freeway or else my car starts making a weird noise and loses power shifting at high rpms
The following is a result of a defective transmission fluid dipstick acknowledged by mitsubishi and addressed by a service bulletin. They have not issued a recall of the dipstick. (https://mitsubishitechinfo.com/data/tech_docs/2010/52005696/html/520056966.htm)after driving on the highway at normal speeds, 70mph and under, the transmission overheated and a slow down warning appeared. I pulled over, lifted the hood and let it cool down for about 20 minutes; the warning had disappeared. I resumed driving at speeds 45 and under, and while driving up a hill the transmission whined very loudly and i lost so much power that the car began to slow to a stop on the road. I had to pull over to avoid being struck by oncoming traffic. The slow down light was not on, but i did receive engine code p0741. In another incident, i let it cool down on the side of the interstate then took an exit. With no slow down warning, i was attempting to make a left turn when the transmission whined very loudly and the car stopped moving forward. An 18 wheeler was oncoming and was not going to be able to stop. Thankfully, the car was able to make it safely out of the way, but it was close.i have experienced many similar incidents.the transmission has frequently overheated since i've had it when it had only 30,000 miles. The transmission fluid and filters have been regularly changed per the owner's manual. While it has a rebuilt title, there was only exterior damage and no part of the power train was ever damaged. I discovered the service bulletin from research and forums. Many others have experienced this issue, but most just assumed the fluid needed to be changed more than the manual recommended. The defect and the overheating that results is very dangerous as i've recently experienced. It's an original factory defect that is completely unaffected by mileage or wear and tear
The contact owns a 2009 mitsubishi lancer. While driving at approximately 70 mph, the slow down warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was undetermined; however, the technician informed the contact that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted and the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact had to pull over and restart the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
The contact owns a 2009 mitsubishi lancer. The contact stated that while in reverse with the accelerator depressed, the vehicle became hesitant to respond.

The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 61,000.
Shortly after starting the engine; take a turn left and then made; i turn on the abs light shortly after engine light lit too and, days later, the abs light went out. The next day i started the engine; running the car at 15 to 35 miles, sounds a hit; in the transmission and abs light comes on again. This has been doing so far.
2009 lancer mitsubishi - brake failure & transmission failure while driving about 60 miles per hr. Ended up on the side of the road and the car caught on fire. Reported - inspected but unable to hold mitsubishi liable because they did put out notice in may or june of the recall on the brake system.
I was driving northbound on the ca is-15 north at approximately 5:55 pm pst between the exits of 138/wrightwood and the route 395/joshua street exit. I was traveling in the fast lane going about 68-72 mph. I got a "service required" error light flashing, then the "slow down" light came on with a picture of a thermometer. I checked the temperature gauge (which is displayed on the led screen by the speedometer, not the usual independent gauge) and the temperature showed that it was right in the middle, which should be working great. I slowed down to 50 mph as i merged from the #1 (fast) lane to the slow lane by the road shoulder and my engine lost power. Luckily i had enough power to get over to the should before the usual line of semi-trucks blew past me. I checked the coolant, oil, and ctv trans fluid levels, all were at capacity.this is the second time that i had experienced this issue. The first time was this same time last year (august, 2012). I had bought the car used in july 2012. The first time this occurred the dealership (victorville mitsubishi) fixed it under tsb 10-23-005. At that point the car only had 46,000 miles on it. I plan to take the car back into the dealer this saturday, provided i can make it back up the hill today and tomorrow.this is a really serious problem and i hope it becomes an official recall. Luckily i wasn't run off the road or rear ended and killed with the loss of power issue due to the faulty sensor.
I purchased my vehicle in 2009 from the mitsubishi dealership in ga, brand new. I travel often and long distances so i have accumulated a lot of mileage on my vehicle within a short period of time. I maintain the vehicle with all the proper inspections and services and the suggestion times (oil change every 3k miles, brakes and tires at 50k,...). I began having issues with my transmission in august 2012 with this whining noise everytime i accelerated. My "service engine soon" light came on shortly after the noise started. When i took the car to auto zone, they pulled a "failed shift solenoid" code. I had a transmission fluid flush done at around 70k miles with the proper cvt transmission fluid added to the vehicle. When i was traveling the highway for christmas from missouri to georgia, about halfway through the trip i saw this red signal on the dashboard that read "slow down!" with a thermostat above the warning. I read through the manual and google searched the warning and read that it meant that the transmission fluid was overheating. For the rest of the 13-hour drive, anytime i drove over 75 miles an hour for more than 30 minutes the light would come on. I tried to ignore it at one point and this caused my transmission to stop shifting (i have an automatic). I had to stop 4 times between the trip because of this light. I have a power-train warranty on my vehicle for 10 years/100k miles. While in savannah, i had the mitsubishi dealer run a diagnostic in which the service technician indicated there was an internal transmission issue. They were unable to resolve the issue at the time because the dealership was closing. Now back in missouri, the dealership is "unable to replicate the code" and is more bent on making me pay the diagnostic fee. Mitsubishi customer care isn't much help either. I feel like i'm going to be stuck on the side of the road soon. Somebody help!
As i was driving up the i5 going up the grapevine in ca at 65-70mph my vehicle made a beeping noise and dash showed thermometer that said slow down. I slowed down to 60mph and went into the left lane or (slow lane where semi trucks drive). All of a sudden the car started to slow down more and more until a semi truck got extremely close and had to veer into a faster lane because my car was only going 40mph. I found an exit and exited the freeway. I came to a stop, when it was my turn to go, my car would not accelerate. The car was on and it was in drive but would not move. Fortunately a chp vehicle came along and stopped traffic long enough for my brother and 13 year old nephew to push the vehicle off the road. This was the second time this exact incident occurred in this vehicle. The first time i was with my mother and was on the same freeway, luckily that time we were closer to the exit and were able to get safely to the side of the road. Please investigate this issue because it is extremely unsafe to have these vehicles on the road suddenly slow down in front of semi trucks that are not equipped to stop at short distances.

2009 lancer, clutch went out at under 20,000 miles.i have been reading of many clutch problems in past models, is there a trend here.i have owed 15 cars, half have been manual transmission.i have only had to replace 2 clutches:mitsubishi 3000 gt at 40,000 and the lancer at 18,000.i have a 10 year old jeep wrangler manual that my kids learned to drive on with about 70,000 miles with it's original clutch.
I bought a 2009 mitsubishi lancer in may of '08.i traded in my '04 lancer at that time with 145,000kms.all original parts except for brakes.i moved to bc in aug '08 from alberta where i had bought my car.i was coming home from christmas in ab on jan.2/09 when the hinge on my drivers side window broke, and my clutch started to slip.i drove my my car an hour and a half to the nearest mitsubishi dealership the next day.the mechanic that day told me that the rear seal had a leak, that oil had been spraying likely through the clutch and that i was lucky to have made it.when a different person called me on monday, he said that when they took it apart, the seal had been factory installed wrong and that's what was causing the oil to leak.however, there was no trace of oil in the clutch and that it was worn.he told me that they will cover the seal and the window, i would have to pay for the clutch.i have driven manual for over 10 years.i have driven to ab and back 4 times in my new car, so 80% of the 30,000kms on it are hwy driven.i got 145,000kms and 4 1/2 yrs on the last lancer i bought, and traded it in with the original clutch.i have talked to mgr's and supervisor's, and they all go back and talk to the mechanic.saying that i am responsible.no second opinion.leaving me to cover the cost of a new clutch ($600).i have since found reports that there have been previous problems with clutches on older models.could there not be problems with new ones too?especially when 2 other major breaks happened on the same day on my car? both factory problems.
I was traveling southbound on the florida turnpike, i was on the left hand lane when i looked through the rearview mirror and noticed a vehicle behind doing about 80-90 miles per hour. I merged to the middle lane so that they could continue on. They were recklessly driving and they swerved to my lane, i proceeded to swerve to avoid getting hit and when i tried to hit the brakes they jammed on me. I lost control of the car and hit the right divider with the front of my car, the car proceeded to spin out of control and every angle of the car was hit with divider and then i ended up in the middle lane facing traffic. Only 3 out of 8 airbags deployed. The main airbag which was the steering wheel airbag and knee airbags did not deploy. The car is claimed to be a total loss by geico.
I was on the 4th floor of a parking garage in my town and was going up to the top level. As i am about to turn the corner, i realize i am going a bit faster than i thought. So i apply full pressure to the brakes which did not work as fast as they were supposed to. The tow truck man later told me that i was going around 20 to 30 mph at time of impact. When i hit the pillar in front of me, the airbag didn't deploy and my seatbelt did not tighten as they were supposed to. This meant that my whole body snapped forward and impacted collarbone first into the steering wheel. After this incident, my whole left side felt numb and i was left with a swollen collarbone and contusions from the impact.

The brake lights were no longer functioning, but the tail lights were still operating. The car failed inspection due to brake lights not functioning and the vehicle was taken to the dealership for diagnostics. The ecu, part number 8637c096 is what is in my vehicle. There is a safety recall for a 2009 lancer, sr-15-002, for the ecu but because of the part number (8637a826) difference the dealership will not replace my ecu that is faulty. Upon further personal investigation i have found several issues surrounding the ecu for lancers;10091781, 10158957, 10142736, 10117850, 10158956, 10158955, 10142736, 10158957.several individuals have reported electrical problems and that the company would not fix the issue. (https://www.carcomplaints.com/mitsubishi/lancer/2009/electrical/electrical_system.shtml) part numbers are "not typically given out" i was told at the dealership on september 24th, 2020. The replacement part number i was given would be 8637c496. However, this part must be programmed by a liscened dealer....this monopoly of parts, refusal to give out part identification numbers, and extreme cost (of the part ~$870) has caused people to be unable to afford the repair while the manufacture is essentially not covering the cost of the safety concern and puts the cost of repair on the consumer.. Or the vehicle cannot pass inspection and therefor cannot continue to be in service. I will not own another mitsubishi because of this. My husband purchased this car brand new. I am the second owner and all safety recalls, service, and even tire rotations have been maintained on this car. After the diagnostic test was completed, and i left the dealership to return home the brake lights stayed on after my car was parked and the key removed from the ignition. At this time my 2009 lancer is sitting at the dealership, and i was asked if i would like to order the part to replace.

Mitsubishi lancer es sport 2009. I having a problem with the brake system, i receive a letter of a service recall and i went to make the reparations. The car has present several brake problems with the front calipers, disks and pads. Apparently thecar has a defect because the left front caliper makes the padhave a faster wastage than usual and reduces the brake efficiency. I think that this is a very important problem because my life is in risk and other persons life because i can cause an accident.. The car has been repaired by 4 times but still with the same problem, actually the car has 29,157 miles.
