what do you mean with the front wheels turned? do you mean when you are turning corners while driving or parked and turning? turning left or right?

can you pull your codes? autozone does it for free.

I mean the error has the picture of the chasis with the front wheel turned like a awc error.

Check your brake fluid level.

im probably going to have all my fluids checked and replaced. The dealer probably cleared the errors before selling the car to me. If that's true ill post on the new buyers forums to avoid this dealer for future buyers. but until i confirm whats wrong, and whether its just minor or major problem and hope it wont cost me an arm and leg to fix .

Maybe the ayc/acd pump is gone? Go back to the dealer and have it replace under warranty.

ok so assuming its a ayc/acd pump problem what type of cost am i looking at to replace/repair it? and is it fine to just drive around without it functioning because on other forums ppl say that its fine to not have it working just dont remove it. i will also go to autozone today and pull a code and while im at it probably just purchase a decent obd2 reader so any recommendations?

They just released a warranty for those (extended) directly from Mitsubishi, so it should be free if that is what is not working.

10yr/100k mile warranty. so as long as you arent over 100k miles you can get it replaced for free if thats what is causing the problem.

ok, so i pulled the codes i got P0365, P0300, P0037. Dealer is paying to get the car tuned on a dyno sometime next week just need to get an appointment so i'm glad its not the AYC pump at least. do you think a tune would fix those issues though?

Before buying the car we had a deal to get the car tuned to my choice since he works closely with a tune shop and so he told me to bring the codes I pulled with me to the shop on the scheduled day to have them fix it. Now I'm not familiar with this so would a proper tune fix all or any of these codes?

It could be a tune. There's a part in there for obd2 modifications.
P0365 - Camshaft Position Sensor 'B' Circuit Bank 1
P0300 - Cylinder Misfire Detected Random Cylinders
P0037 - HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 2

Does it drive rough? Could be a regular repair needed.

well rite now it feels like when ever i drive up to 2-2.5k rpm its normal but then it starts to feel like i lost power then kicks back into normal which im assuming is due to not having a proper tune and the fact that theres a misfire error. so i guess you can say it is rough but i wouldnt count out the fact that i come from driving a 05 wrx and so this would be a big step up and im still not fully used to the car yet since its got pretty much a stage 2 setup... ill try to get a full spec list for you guys from the dealer so you have a better idea of what its got. but regardless of how much work it needs rite now i must say the thrill and amount of fun i have just cruising around in this is just to good to explain hahaha i wonder what it'll feel like after i get it fixed and proper .
