You should stop driving that thing asap, and get your ACD checked out. May be something as petty as fluid, or air in the system. Do you still have the warranty? If so I hope your car is pretty close to stock, because the dealer is the right place to get this fixed. Im not positive, but there is some special tools required to bleed the system and what not. Make sure wherever it gets done, that they use the OEM fluids!! If those 3 lights start blinking, then I think it's pretty much gameover. Better get it looked at before that happens and good lluck.

Are you still on the OEM clutch and if not, I hope you had a shop that knows evo's do the clutch. The reason I ask is because there is a line on the center diff. that needs to be disconnected. When the clutch is reinstalled they need to bleed the system just like Jameson IXMR said. Get the car towed to the dealer; I would STOP DRIVING IT NOW!!!! The other thing is that if it is under warranty the dealership should pay for the tow, call them and check. If they tell you to drive it, make sure you have something saying that if more damage occurs because of your driving to the dealership, that they are responsible. Good luck with it. Keep us posted.

If you bought the car new you wont have any problems. The car comes with a 100 thousand mile power train warranty. Take it to Mitsubishi, and see what they say, don’t mention you bought it elsewhere. If they are that worried about it they will look up your VIN. That is the best advice we can give you. Good luck

mitsubishi service manual says if all 3 lights blink, then the ACD needs servicing.
STOP DRIVING and get it fixed.

You got it new from somewhere other than mitsubishi??? Yeah I wouldnt say where I got it, I would just bring it to mitsu, they only record the vin and mileage anyway. If you have anything blatently obvious modified. Like a cone filter or something, especially anything effecting the ACD/suspension, Remove it before taking it in.
