it was a Monday @ 2pm so right after lunch everyone should have been in a great mood lol, oh well it got fixed.
Was funny one of the big wigs came down to talk to the staff and when I went out he was looking at my car sticking his head in the window. I walked up on him, he asked if it was my car and what I had done to it. He was a nice guy so I popped the hood and showed him the stuff I had done, then he gave me his personal business card and asked me to give him a call because he wants to use my O.S. for promotion and on there website. So that was cool.

Looks like there's a blower motor issue on the 2011's:

Not sure this was posted as I just found out after replacing the old owner's info at Mits.
Mitsubishi Motors North America is extending the warranty covering the front exhaust pipe seal ring on certain Mitsubishi Lancer and Outlander vehicles.
According to Mitsubishi, the front exhaust pipe seal ring on the affected vehicles may corrode from prolonged exposure to anti-freezing agents that are used to clear ice and snow from roadways in cold weather states.
Vehicles receiving the warranty extension include model year 2008-2011 Mitsubishi Lancer and Outlander, 2009-2011 Lancer Sportback, and 2011 Outlander Sport models.
Mitsubishi is extending the exhaust pipe seal ring warranty from 5 years/60,000 miles to 10 years/120,000 miles, whichever comes first.
For vehicle owners that have already had the front exhaust pipe seal ring replaced due to this condition and paid for the repair out-of-pocket, Mitsubishi is offering full reimbursement. Simply send your original repair order or invoice AND your original receipt/proof of payment to Mitsubishi Customer Relations Department, P.O. Box 6400, Cypress, CA 90630-0064.
Owners with questions about the warranty extension or repair reimbursement can contact Mitsubishi Customer Relations toll-free at 888-648-7820.

i just got a blower motor recall on the O.S. in the mail yesterday, said that it can be fixed in .5 hours and if left unchecked can go out causing the front windshield to be fogged up do to the blower motor not being functional which could lead to bad visibility, a car care do to the lack of visibility, and DEATH lol.

Not directly related but similar >
We had our FSR failed in our BMW and it happened during a humid morning.. which caused all the windows to fog up as we were driving (on the highway) and you couldn't see anything. No matter how fast you wiped the inside surface, it would just fog up immediately again.
Dangerous as ****.

FInally go this done a couple weeks back after waiting for a couple months for the parts. No pulley issue - just a new belt which is a nice thing to get on a 5 yr old car. FWIW, I saw the cost - $225 CAD for the inspection and replacement.

A $5 belt & $110/hr labor X2.
Typical
(Guess neither the part nor labor is covered under 10yr warranty. Rather they pay me the labor charge and I'll buy the belt, myself.)

You know, having been a high priced consultant, I can appreciate a reasonable hourly rate. But the dealers charge more than my doctor or dentist. And likely pay the tech who does the work a pittance. They are driving up the cost of new cars.

It's a swinging dong monopoly -
Dealerships claim manufacturers are 'overcharging' (by demanding them to hold more inventory) , but Manufacturers are saying dealerS are charging/servicing more vehicles that's sold..
If you only knew..
These dealers are now mega-conglomerates owned by one or two private families in multi-States franchises.
They control the supply-chain in not only "parts and vehicles" but all the secondary support products.
Even what the mechanics can use to service your vehicle is tightly controlled/supplied by dealer's own third-parties.
