Common 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer problems
The Mitsubishi Lancer, like any other vehicle, can experience certain common problems that owners should be aware of. This article will discuss several of these issues, including slow fan speed and ventilation loss, steering pulling, brake failure, engine stalling, air conditioning failure, and automatic gearbox problems.
Slow Fan Speed and Ventilation Loss Problems
Slow fan speed and ventilation loss in Mitsubishi Lancers can be caused by faults in the blower motor or the resistor that controls its speed.
Steering Pulling Problems
Steering pulling, where the vehicle drifts to one side, may signal suspension or wheel alignment issues.
Brake Failure Problems
Brake failure problems in Mitsubishi Lancers can be caused by a defective brake booster vacuum check valve, particularly in older production models.
Engine Stalling Problems
Frequent engine stalling may result from various factors, including a faulty MAP sensor or a clogged throttle body.
Air Conditioning Failure Problems
Inadequate cooling in the air conditioning system may indicate low gas levels in the air conditioning system. Consult experienced technicians to re-gas the system for optimal performance.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-01
- VIN: JA32U2FU6GU
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: Purchased the vehicle with only 59K miles in May 2024. Transmission immediately started acting up, hesitating, jumping RPMs, and delayed acceleration and loss of power. Service Transmission light came on once but after restarting the light turned off, but still has the issues. Have had the fluid and gasket replaced but did not remedy the problem. This is very dangerous to drive, especially when crossing roads with loss of power and very delayed acceleration and RPMs jumping to the point of wheels spinning out.

- Summary: I've had the vehicle for 7 years and after inspection performed by the dealer, there is so much subframe rot that my car will not pass the next inspection due in April. I've contacted Mitsubishi and they said there is nothing they can do as there isn't any recall.

- Components: POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
- Summary: I purchased this car in 2016 brand new from the dealer. Have kept up with its maintenance but in the past couple of months, the car is not taking off. What I mean by that is that the transmission slips and won't allow the car to gain speed there is a delay in the car accelerating. This is the second time that it has happened this year and its very unsafe to use a car this way and its less than 10 years old.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-07-14
- VIN: JA32V2FW4GU
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: I started to experience hesitation in the cars power and shifting “gears” in the cvt, it started to feel very rough and the rpm would jump up and down. The owner of the dealership tried to tell me it was normal. I knew something was wrong. I left the dealership and not even kidding… 20 minutes later my cvt gave out and the light came on. I purchased the vehicle with 27,700 miles. I was shocked, they had it replaced but i never received any paperwork on where it was replaced. The car started to feel fine for about 20k miles and then boom it’s back. I am going to take my car into the dealership once again and I am just not a happy overall owner. I have had over $21,000 in repairs on this vehicle! We’re talking from wiper motor going out to exhaust pipes needing replaced. The warranty company has luckily saved me with most repairs but i’m sure they are not happy either. I am now at 95k miles and on my way to take it in to see what’s wrong this time. The car has terrible acceleration and just doesn’t want to shift. I shouldn’t be feeling a huge jerk around 30mph from a cvt. I also told the owner of my dealership and his mechanics that their is a weird odor that smells like radiator fluid coming from the passenger floor. It’s completely soaked all the time and even has a weird texture to it. The owner and mechanics once again tried to make me feel stupid. This is unrepaired and has been happening since i bought the vehicle. I have been trying to get it fixed but i’m told “you spilled something” which is documented in the repairs notes. I just want to drive this car without something else giving out. I believe my dealership can’t give me the help my car needs and i’m concerned knowing i still owe $11k on the vehicle. Main Concern - 2nd CVT failing (something was missed that’s causing this) - Passenger Floor Boards Wet (getting no help and being told i spilled something)

POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-10-25
- VIN: JA32U2FU1GU
- Components: POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Our 2016 lancer has suddenly started hesitating/ taking seconds to shift from park to reverse/drive. Also while driving vehicle its rpms fluctuate causing a shudder and surge in power or acceleration. This is a very alarming problem as it puts mine and my kids safety as it hesitates to shift and while driving it loses power and then powers up by itself. We have taken to a transmission shop (HIgH TECH Transmission) and now a dealer (Mission Mitsubishi) and both have replicated problem and pulled code but dealer will not honor recall or repair it. There was a safety recall for 2016 lancers with a cvt8 (SR-16-006) that produces a code P084A as well which and that if both were present a replacement transmission should be approved. All information was pulled from Mitsubishi website, and I called them and spoke to Carla did not give a last name and she advised me that our lancer doesn’t have a recall and I said well is it possible you’ll missed some vehicles that have the same problem from the recalls you’ll have already put out? And she got snappy and said to contact safer car.gov; so here I am, presenting facts to you'll that my 2016 lancer may and hopefully is part of a recall which in result to not being identified or checked out caused more damage as stated it would on the manufacturers website. And needs to be fixed due to not being identified in recall so preventive measures could have been taken. Please our vehicle is experiencing the problem as a recall Mitsubishi put out but failed to identify our lancer and now is experiencing hesitation in CVT trans, and shudder/surge in transmission.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2017-01-10
- VIN: JA32U8FWXGU
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: I HAVE NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH MY CARS ACCELERATION FROM A 0 MILE PER HOUR STARTING POINT TO A 30 MPH. IT IS VERY SUDDEN AND RANDOM. IT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES FROM A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN. THERE IS A SECOND TO AS LONG AS 4 SECOND HESITATION IN ACCELERATION. ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED AND THE CAR TAKES OFF FOR A BRIEF SECOND OR 2 BEFORE THE FEW SECOND HESITATION OCCURS. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS IF THIS OCCURS WHEN PULLING OUT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC COMING. FOR THOSE FEW SECONDS THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO BUT PRESS THE GAS PEDAL HARDER WHEN THOUGH THE CAR IS NOT DOING ANYTHING. AFTER THOSE FEW SECONDS THE CAR TRANSMISSION KICKS IN AND YOU EVENTUALLY HAVE CONTROL IN ACCELERATION ONCE AGAIN. TOOK TO THE DEALER TODAY. THEY SAID NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. ONLINE I SEE A SIMILAR RECALL ON THE OUTLANDER TRANSMISSION BUT SERVICE TECH SAYS HE CHECKED AND NOTHING ON THE LANCER. THEY DROVE MY CAR AND OF COURSE IT DON'T HAPPEN. IT'S VERY RANDOM. IT USUALLY HAPPENS ONCE A WEEK. IT HAS PROB OCCURRED ABOUT 10 TIMES IF NOT MORE. THERE IS NO WAY TO EXPECT IT SO NOW I HAVE TO TAKE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN I'M ABOUT TO PULL OUT ON A BUSY ROAD WITH TRAFFIC COMING MY WAY. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR LANCER?
