So i was driving home on friday heading home right after work, doin about 40-45 mph when out of no where i hear this backfire-ish sound as im shifting into 4th... after that i pull over and just chill for about a min.. tryin to pray so that nothings wrong with my baby.... sure enough as i try to pull away from the curb in 1st, there seemed to be no throttle response!!! so i called mitsu and they towed my car to the nearest dealer the dealer told me they should know whats wrong with it by the end of the day.... so just that all u IX owners might want the heads up!!!

 

hmm hope all works out for ya...keep us updated

 

Don't sweat it until you know for sure whats wrong...your not paying anything for the tow or repair so if its minor than don't make it a big deal. The IX's are still new, there might be a couple bugs that they have to tune out of the ECU for the MIVEC. If your car is stock Mitsu will take care of you.

 

yeah its stock just tinted windows....

 

huh, wierd. I've got almost 5k on mine, no problems what so ever.
last 3k have been brutal too.

Keep us posted, i'd like to know what's wrong.

 

I thought you were gonna talk about some Civics trying to run you over roadside or something. >.>

Glad that didn't happen.

Maybe you have a leak. And thanks for the heads up. ::thumbs up::

 

You probably blew an IC hose off.

 

yeah i hope its just the IC hose but still its just takes that peace of mind that a new car gives you....my cars not gonna breakdown on me factor.... you what im sayin

 

11,000 miles on my IX and it's been running flawlessly, knock on wood. These are very reliable cars so I would expect to hear no problems.....

 

u sir drive to damn much

 

Thats what I am thinking/hopeing.

 

11,000 already dang i only have 11,000 on mine and its a year old. Hell drive it i guess huh

 

yea i was expecting car on car hating, not car on driver lol

 

lol yup but it's my daily driver and I drive about 100 miles just to go to work. I'll tell you this though I have enjoyed ALL 11,000 miles on my IX. If you ask my girlfriend she will tell you I love my car more than her lol

back to the topic I'm sure nothing is wrong with this guys IX, nothing to be worried about I'm sure....

 

Same thing happened to me. I had completely lost power and pulled over. I popped my hood and noticed the clamp on the throttle body blew off. Tightened it and I was back on the road.
