Update:
Well they had the car since Monday and I picked it up Friday Morning. They couldn't get the car to repeat the issue and said they checked everything they could possibly check and nothing, everything was working, no leaks, fuel pump was working, crank sensor was good etc...I even mentioned to service manager about hearing Mitsubishi had some relay issues in past, but not sure he passed it on. He said the tech was on phone with Mitsubishi seeing if they had ideas or whatever.
So, we'll see I guess if it does it again, sad thing is it's going to be winter soon here don't want to have this issue.


*On one positive note, had a 2015 Outlander Sport(FWD) as loaner car, smooth ride on highway, steering was good, but no power(unless in manual mode), and interior was bleh, no backup camera on this one, no smart key, simple radio(not bad though).
*Had a 2015 Lancer GT in showroom, grey, looked pretty good.

They told me the same thing. I had them park it on an incline for a few hours then try to start it and check the fuel pump. That did it.

All the times mine didn't start I was on level ground. It did it again Saturday(day after I got it back), but it only took 1 long crank to get it to start.
Everyone's talked about the relays being issues and the updated versions? I have 3 green ones and 1 grey one not sure if those are the most updated versions?

Those are definitely NOT the updated versions that you have. Get the ones from SSP and be done with it like I've said twice before in this thread.

Well; installed the new Relays today, replaced the 3 green relays and the big grey relay with the newer ones. I did the salt 'n pepper test on the old ones, but they seemed okay, but changed anyways.

Hopefully, this is/was the issue. It's getting to be winter and don't want to be stranded anywhere. If it keeps doing it, then I'll have to weigh the options on how to proceed, I'm just getting too old to go through crap like this.

Quote from SSP...

"To make a long story short, Mitsubishi was NOT happy with the extremely high failure rating on the "Original Green Relays, "old Black relays", or the "Newer Blue relays", so they had OMRON (Relay Manufacture) come out with a better relay, with a much lower failure rating, and here we are today."


That's why I was wondering if the 14's already came with the updated relays. But anyway... Rock on

I upgraded my 09 Ralliart with the newer SSP relays at 108,000 miles and had one "non-start" issue since then. I pulled my spark plugs and they were gunked up. (brand new spark plugs too). It happened because I started my engine, moved the car a short distance, and turned it off.
