problem #1

Dec 052012

Lancer 4-cyl

  • 89,000 miles
Variable temperature knob/shaft broke on heater/A/C control module because it was hard to turn. Always was hard to turn since vehicle was purchase 4 years ago. Makes defogging of windows more difficult and has caused visibility problems in certain types of damp conditions. Bad design which Mitsubishi should fix.
