Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR AND AM LEARNING MUCH NOW THAT MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I TOOK MY CAR TO BE DIAGNOSED AT FITZGERALD MITSUBISHI IN ANNAPOLIS MD, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS AN 800 OR 3100 DOLLAR FIX, DEPENDING ON WHICH JOB NEEDED TO BE DONE. THE BIG FIX IS THE AYC/ADC HYDRAULIC UNIT THAT PRESSURIZES THE CLUTCHES IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. WHAT CAUSES THE FAILURE IS CORROSION. THIS UNIT IS PLACED BEHIND THE RH REAR TIRE AND HAS VERY LITTLE PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS. THIS UNIT NEEDS TO BE RELOCATED OR BETTER SHIELDING NEEDS TO BE ATTACHED. READING THE EVOLUTIONM.NET FORUMS, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS CORROSION IS VERY POPULAR AND THE REPAIRS ARE EXTREMELY PRICEY. *TR
