@mshilto98 - That really sucks, sorry to hear about the trouble this has caused you.


- I also agree with Thomar, If its used to ensure the function of a system then it is considered part of THAT system. In your case, the drive train system.

My opinion is that the ACD/AYC pump should be considered a part of the drivetrain and, therefore, covered under that part of the warranty. But my opinion is irrelevant.

I know that a few people have been (very) lucky and had a dead pump fixed for free beyond the bumper-to-bumper time/mileage limit. I also know that many have not.

My opinion is that people should discuss the details of warranties and warranty denials precisely and accurately to avoid giving others a false impression.

I know that I shouldn't let it bother me so much when people don't do this.

As to the question of guessing ... I said that too strongly. Apologies. There's nothing really wrong with guessing as long as you're clear that that's what you're doing. So part of your post with guesses in it was fine. But the part about turning off the AYC with the ASC button was also a guess - and an incorrect guess - and was not worded to be clear that it was a guess. That's what set me off.

My ACD/AYC pump failed last year. Covered by warranty. Two others at my dealership had the same failure. Both were past the mileage, no warranty coverage. Official Mitsu opinion is that the pump is not a mechanical part of the powertrain, and is therefore not covered by the powertrain warranty. I'm not saying I agree with them, only that I know why they don't cover it. Personally, since its only purpose is to allow the diffs to operate normally, I think it should be considered a powertrain component.

Thomar

Were you past the coverage as well? Seems strange that they'd cover some peoples pumps, but not others. If they fix one under warranty why not others...?

Has anyone called 1-888-MITSU2013 about the pump issue?

On 4/24/2013 my pump went, I took it too the dealer and they really wanna "break it off in my ***"!!! 2400.00!!! I'm gonna see if another shop can handle the job; if so it will cost me parts only. However this is a stupid fu#@ing problem to have on a car with 29k on it!!!!!

as in 29,000 miles? It should have been covered under the 3yr/36k mile, unless you were out of the 3 yr mark.

A fried pump will not hurt the drivetrain; the awc is a reactive component that is manualy activated. Now we're just operating awd lancers; still, FU@!

Thomar

U can get the pump rebuilt. Scour your local car junk yard maybe.
Does the ralliart pump fit the evo's?

Not even close. I know that you're upset, but no more posting technical nonsense, OK?

To get this derailed thread back on the tracks...

Had My Pump replaced at roughly 42 months with 34k on the ODO. Taking it back in soon to have my cracked exhaust manifold replaced next.

Add me to the victims' list.

2008 X GSR, failed around 85k, so needless to say I didn't even try the warranty thing.

From what it seems, this could have been easily solved by, oh, putting a $1 plastic cover over the whole unit.

Also, since the aftermarket has already devised a solution to this (rebuild kit), I'm curious as to why Mitsu cannot do the same-- i.e. why do you need to buy a $1500 pump.

No it does not. Sorry... this is in reference to below


No. It does not fit.
