Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN WARMER WEATHER, A WARNING (4WD SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED) IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH AND THE S-AWC AWD SYSTEM IS DISABLED. THE ACTIVE CENTER DIFFERENTIAL AND TORQUE BIASING REAR DIFFERENTIAL ARE DISABLED, WHICH GREATLY REDUCES HANDLING AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO REACT DIFFERENTLY THAN NORMAL IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. THIS IS THE RESULT OF A FAILING ACD/AYC HYDRAULIC PUMP. MITSUBISHI WILL NOT COVER THESE PUMPS UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE PUMPS CORRODE INTERNALLY AND ARE UNABLE TO BUILD AND MAINTAIN PRESSURE. *TR
