Consumer Description

THE CAR IS DISPLAYING AN S-AWC SERVICE LIGHT, IT HAS YET TO BE DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN PREVIOUSLY FOR THE SAME ISSUE. LOOKING ONLINE THERE IS A WHOLE MASS OF FORUMS STATING THAT AT 40,000+ MILES THE AYC PUMP BREAKS. THIS SEEMS RATHER SUSPECT GIVEN SO MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITHIN THE SAME TIME SPAN. MITSUBISHI HAS BEEN REPORTEDLY TURNING DOWN WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THIS UNDER THEIR POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY, WHILE I AM UNSURE IF THEY WILL DO THE SAME FOR ME, THE ISSUE IS SEEMINGLY PREVALENT ENOUGH THAT THEY SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. *TR
