Consumer Description

VERY COLD DAY OUT, ABOUT -15 F, WARMED UP MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES PLUS. ONCE I BEGAN DRIVING, ABOUT 10 MPH MY SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT CAME ON FOR MY AYC PUMP. DEALER SAID THAT IS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. MITSUBISHI HAS KNOWN THAT IS A COMMON ISSUE IN COLD CLIMATES THAT USE SALT ON THE ROADS. THE SALT CORRODES THE PUMP AND MAKES IT FAULTY/MALFUNCTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED DUE TO THE KNOWLEDGE THAT AN EVO DRIVER HANDLES THEIR CAR [THAT THEY PURCHASED AS SUCH] AND LOOSES THAT RIGHT WITH A FAULTY AYC PUMP. *TR
