The Lancer has been marketed as the Colt Lancer, Dodge Colt, Plymouth Colt, Chrysler Valiant Lancer, Chrysler Lancer, Eagle Summit, Hindustan Lancer, Soueast Lioncel, and Mitsubishi Mirage in various countries at different times, and has been sold as the Mitsubishi Galant Fortis in Japan since 2007.

Common 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer problems

The Mitsubishi Lancer 2015 has been reported to have several common problems by its owners. The most frequently reported issues are related to fuel consumption, acceleration, and transmission overheating.

Firstly, fuel consumption is a significant concern for Lancer 2015 owners. The car's average fuel consumption is 7.2 L/100 km, 5.7 L/100 km for country driving, and 9.8 L/100 km for city driving. However, some owners have reported higher than expected fuel consumption, indicating a problem with the vehicle's fuel system.

Secondly, acceleration issues have also been reported by Lancer 2015 owners. The car's 0-100 km acceleration time should be around 9.5 seconds. However, some owners have reported that their cars take significantly longer to reach this speed, indicating a problem with the engine or transmission.

Thirdly, transmission overheating is a common problem with the Lancer 2015. This issue can cause the car to shift roughly or even stop working altogether. Transmission overheating can also lead to more severe problems, such as transmission failure, which can be costly to repair.

Fourthly, some Lancer 2015 owners have reported issues with the car's headlights, including faulty headlights and cracked fog lights. These issues can make it more dangerous to drive on the road in the dark, especially during nighttime or low-light conditions.

Lastly, the Lancer 2015 has been reported to have problems with its subframe, which can lead to corrosion and rust, especially in winter states where roads are deiced with road salt. This issue can cause the subframe to develop cracks or holes, which can undermine its strength and eventually lead to the subframe falling apart without warning. This problem is severe enough that Mitsubishi recalled cars from the 2002-2008 model years with the faulty subframe.

In summary, the Mitsubishi Lancer 2015 has several common problems, including issues with fuel consumption, acceleration, transmission overheating, headlights, and subframe. These issues can affect the car's performance, safety, and reliability, making it essential for owners to address them promptly to avoid more severe problems in the future.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2022-05-07
  • VIN: JA32V6FV6FU
  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: Without any prior warning lights or issues with the car. While i drove to work, about 10-15 miles away or 20 min drive, i came to a stop at a red light and when it turned green the car could not get into 2nd gear and would juts rev mostly in place. First gear didnt really have any pull. After a few seconds it finally took second gear but it jerked the car off causing it to stop very suddenly and thats when the service transmission light came on. I was stuck at the light for at least 5 minutes, can’t imagine that happening on the highway. I took the car to the dealership they said they found a code P183D which basically means i need a new transmission. This car has barely 90,000 miles and they are quoting me over $15,000 just for the parts. They privided me with a TSB which list my car as a year and model with known issue but told me the repairs are not covered by the manufacturer.

  • Components: POWER TRAIN
  • Summary: THE AYC/ACD PUMP ON MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING. VEHICLE ON HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT. THE FAILURE OF THIS PUMP IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE EVOLUTION X PLATFORM. THERE IS CURRENT RECALLS FOR OTHER EVOLUTION X YEARS THAT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2015 MODEL. THE FAILURE IS DO IN PART TO CORROSION CAUSED BY THE LOCATION OF THE PUMP AND THE ABILITY FOR WATER, SNOW AND SALT TO GET ON AND INTO THE PUMP. MY CAR IS FROM THE NORTHEAST WHERE SALT IS A COMMON THING IN THE WINTER. I BELIEVE THIS HAS CAUSED THE FAILURE.

  • Components: POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: CVT TRANSMISSION; VEHICLE HAS 45K MILES, NO RECALL WAS RECORDED FOR MY VIN BUT I CLEARLY EXPERIENCE THE STATED SYMPTOMS OF THE COMMUNICATION LOSS BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THERE IS A BRIEF "HESITATION " FAILURE TO MOVE. WHEN HIGHWAY DRIVING, ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS THERE IS ALSO "HESITATION ". MY LAST CONCERN UNMENTIONED BY THE MANUFACTURER IS THE CONSTANT OVER-HEATING OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IN MANY FORUMS AROUND THE WORLD IT'S A CONSTANT ISSUE, THE CONSUMER IS FORCED TO REPAIR WITH AFTERMARKET ADD ON TRANSMISSION COOLERS, FLUID CHANGES, ETC. MOST HIGHWAYS AROUND MY HOME REQUIRE 70MPH SPEED LIMITS, I TRAVEL 50 MILES FOR WORK EACH DAY, THE OVER-HEATING HAS COST ME TIME AND MONEY AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO CONSIDER THE WORK WARRANTY. IT'S A FACTORY DEFECT IN DESIGN AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED VIA MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBILITY.
