MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION 2003 : Problems

Mitsubishi! > Cars > Problems/Complaints > USA > Parts

Clutch

ODI ID: 10068363 NHTSA Complaint ID: 472237

Make: Mitsubishi Model: 2003 LANCER EVOLUTION 03

Component/Parts: Clutch

Failure Date: May 03, 2004 Complaint Date: May 05, 2004

City/State: SAN DIEGO, CA (California)
Crash: No Fire: No Injured: 0 Deaths: 0

Complaint Description: i own a 2003 mitsubishi lancer evolution with 10,500 miles. the clutch appears to have prematurely worn out as engagement is very rough and causes the car to jump and lurch from a stand still. coming from a start in first gear is the primary problem. this "clutch shutter/chatter" is very common in the evo viii community and should be addressed. the dealer tells me it is due to a worn clutch plate and is a "wear item" and thus not covered under warranty. the car has not been driven aggressively let alone abused. from the info i gather many evo viii owners are experiencing the same syptoms with even less mileage than mine. this definetely should be cause for a recall!!!! thanks . *ak .
