Is there a thread anywhere where people have posted the problems they have had with their Lancers? I'm sure there must be. Mine is only a 2003 with 10000km and already, the power locks don't work, one power window doesn't work, and I can't even put the key in the driver side door. Post up if anybody has had problems like this or please point me in the direction of the right thread Thanks.

 

Wait, i'll just bump myself, just realized this should be in the tech pages

 

actually I dont' think there is one.

over 2 years and I havne't had anything wrong with my lancer
and ... at least on these forums... people tend to wreck them before they break down.

 

Maybe I just got a lemon

 

I'd recommend just taking it to the dealership. Either that or check all your fuses. The door lock is probably a damaged cylinder from ice, abuse, or an attempted break-in.

 

wow, yeah, dealership

 

That would be ideal....however the dealership here went bellyup lol

 

Any dealership is obligated to service you, not just the one where you purchased the car.

 

I put 93,000km on my lancer until I had to park it this year and the only issues i've had
is that there is a loud whistle noise when I go faster than 110km/h..

 

that sucks. mine's an 03 with 38000 miles and not a single issue. (other than the paint issue). come to think of it i think (but not sure) our Mitsi dealer is no longer either. hmmm......

 

Check your fuses then take it to the dealership. I don't think this should be a tech thread. There's no tech content, and there's likely to be very little.

 

my cute friend alicia drives a 2003 lancer like mine (ES and everything) and her power locks are running out or something, and she's having window and brake problems too. I am expierencing brake problems as well, but i'm sure i can fix that. My car is only at 40k miles.

i've only had my car for 1 year so far. i've had no problems. like everyone is saying, take it to the dealer and see what they say. im sure they'll be able to help.

 

Check the pads and fluid levels. Nothin' too shocking there. If you don't keep an eye on stuff like that it can sometimes degrade fairly quickly. Especially if you're a little harder on the brakes than most or have a tendency to ride them. The locking mechanism is easy to break if you've ever taken the door panel apart. I'm guessing something just popped out of place. Window problem is probably motor related.

 

wow, thats alot of stuff wrong. Id find a dealership anywhere near u and ask some questions. Like hobie said, the brake thing isnt big. have the breaks been changed yet? break fluids ok? little things like that, making sure u have coolant, change oil every 3,000. If u dont change ur breaks they will **** up ur rotars. good luck with that bro.
