hi,i have a 03 red es and have a few problems
1.the heater doesnt push hot air,it feels like outside air temp
2.the knob that controls hot/cold mix is sticking,any way to unjam it?it moves but doesnt like to stay where u put it.
3.how much will it cost to fix the driver side rear-smaller window?

thanks

 

03es,

To answer your first two questions, the heater control knob sticks. This is quite a common problem with our cars, and it is actually a TSB. If you go to your dealer and complain about the knob sticking, and let them know that you are aware that it is a TSB, they will fix it for you free of charge, just like a recall. I have had this done to my car, and the knob works much better now. As for the temperature of the heat, this is due to the heater door not opening properly, which is directly related to the problem with the control knob sticking, having the TSB service performed fixed both problems for my 03 ES, and it should fix both of your problems as well. I don't however have any idea as to the cost of the small rear window, I would search around mitsubishiparts.net.

 

yea same with my car on the hot/cold knob. they will only fix it if you are still under warranty unless you wanna pay.

 

yea mine was fixed before i hit 36,000 miles under warranty as well, oh so was the pin that holds my door open, 2 things gone wrong in two years not bad in my book, and both were free to fix, lancers rock

 

also,do 03s have he free 100k warranty mitsubishi was advertyising? because this car has 47k miles on it.and thanks for all the help

 

I believe my dad payed for my 10yr/100k miles. but not sure. i got mine dec. 24, 2003. and its a 2004 and no rebates or anything yet. but i got an email yesterday saying that if you bring the email in and buy a 2006 mitsu, you get the 10yr/100k miles free.

 

i had paid for the extended warranty and then cancelled it, but the factory one is 36,000, that 10 yr is an extended/extra paid for warranty. but you might want to check with the dealership anyways just to see if theyll fix it.

 

let me rephrase that http://www.mitsubishicars.com/MMSA/WarrantyOffer

yea i totally agree, even the new bumper to bumper is a 5 year or 60,000, mine was only 36,000, and even though ive only had my lancer 2 years im at 41,000 oh well, she runs like a champ!!!!!

 

lol I don't know if this has anything to do with this thread or not, but i remember i went in for service one time (i have a 2004) and i told the guy i needed my car to get the 15g or 20g mile service (forgot which one) so he was like so you have the service plan? and off the top of my head i was like "yep" so i got it for free, oil change and all. when it wasnt even the dealership i bought it from...whats the service plan or whatever?

 

I'm not sure, but thats pretty friggin funny Im going to try that at my 60,000 mile tune up!!!

 

yeah but it sucks cause i moved and the new dealership wont do it.
