Has anyone taken their 2002/2003 Lancer ES, OZ, LS and or 2003 Evolution to get the cooling fan controller problem taken care of at a mitsubishi dealership. I just got the letter in the mail from mitsubishi about the problem they are having with these model, which can cause your car to overheat if it is not taken care of.. What do you guys think about this, and has anyone had any overheating problems...

 

I just got the letter and I don't know if they sent it for my 03 OZ or my 04 VIII

 

It's for your OZ 2003, 2004 model are fine. It is only for 2002/2003 models OZ, ES, LS, Evolution, Endeavor

 

i actually just went to get mine taken care of, it wasnt actually a big deal @ all, 30 minutes or less plus my oil change. I've only got about 13k on my 2003 oz rally, no problems with the cooling fan controller whatsoever, but better to get the problem fixed now then big problems in the future. Plus it just gave me another opportunity to go down to the dealership to look at the ralliarts and evos! God bless

 

there are many threads about this, please run a search.

 

someone was saying its only a batch of lancers. i havent gotten anything......... yet anyways.

 

i got one... wondering if i should take it

 

My service department told me it was for ALL of the 03 lancers, but I didn't ask about any of the others....

 

well i'm not sure who's right, but someone said they checked the "offical recall notice site" or something like that, and it stated only a certain batch of lancers. maybe i'll give my local dealer a call just to make sure.

 

^yeah, it left me wondering...

 

Igot mine replaced 3 weeks ago, even though i still haven't gotten my letter, but my 03 lancer was on recall.

It takes less than one half hour.

 

did they tell you anything specific, as far as ALL 03 LANCERS? i guess i'll give them a call tomorrow and set something up.

 

i never recieved any notice in the mail, i just read about it on the site. I called up, scheduled an appointment and had them take care of it. Its all warranty work so it wont cost a dime. Its worth getting it fixed now with them paying, cuz if you dont and your car does overheat, then you have to pay to fix that problem because they gave you fair warning.

 

didn't get the letter but it was done while at the dealer for work, takes 30 mins

 

yeah they said all outlanders all evos and all lancers 2003 and older... (2002 being the oldest im guessing...)
