I got a paper in the mail on a new recall. I havent got around to calling and seeing what it is yet. Anyone else get anything in the mail? We could only hope for the a/c knob which i doubt it has anything to do with it.

 

I highly doubt they will ever recall that damn a/c knob. I don't miss that thing for one minute.

 

a/c knob sucks don't force it or it'll bust

 

Yea i learned that the hard way... I always would turn it until it got tough then back off and then go again and it would turn. Until one day i got tired of it and didnt take pressure off and it broke. So i change a/c to heat manually at the gear peice. I poped the line off and just switch to a/c or heat depending on what its like outside haha.

 

yeah tha knob, it was goin ok for me, untill some idiot broke in my car and jacked my dvd unit, he pryed off tha dash face without removin tha knobs first ( of course he doesnt care or know ) and messed up my knob, damn hooligans

 

I've heard that you can change the A/C to heat Manually, can someone tell me how to do this?

 

Go under the driver's side and when you look at it there should be like a lever that looks like an L shape. Mess around with the knob while you watch and you'll see which thing you have to manually switch

 

There is definitely a recall (I just had it performed on my 09 lancer), but it is mostly for northern residents. If you're city doesnt salt roads, then the current recall is pointless for you.

Apparently it is some collision sensor that is rusting out due to salted roads / salty air. They just replace it with a painted one.

 

its the sensor for the air bags. in areas that use salt they rust and wont deploy air bags in a collision.
