Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AND WARNING LIGHT "SERVICE REQUIRED" AND A SYMBOL INDICATING THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SUSPENSION APPEARED. HAD CODE READ AND MY VEHICLE SUFFERED A ACD PUMP FAILURE. IT IS A CRUCIAL FEATURE TO THE SOPHISTICATED AWD STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM THAT MAKES AN EVO "SPECIAL". THIS IS A PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN THAT IS NOT COVERED IN THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. THEY ALL FAIL AND THEY ARE EXPENSIVE AND THEY BECOME CORRODED DUE TO LOCATION, DESIGN, AND LACK OF PROPER PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS AND ROAD SPLATTER. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY ANYTHING OTHER THAN POOR DESIGN ALLOWING FOR A CORROSION PROBLEM THAT LEADS TO PUMP FAILURE. *TR
