They claimed the 'aftermarket diesel heater harness' corroded the battery terminals and that's what killed the battery. Complete b.s.!!! The terminals were corroding before I installed the heater. They replaced it at a cost to me of $328 CDN and they cut the connectors off for the diesel heater...

I just got back from the dealership. I got in the car and it wouldn't start. It was beeping and had the yellow car with horn symbol (AVAS Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System ). And then the whole dash lit up like a Christmas tree!!! The electric car mechanic was off because it's a Saturday his day...

I'm going to pickup the car today... I will post more later guys... they changed the battery under warranty! ....as they should have... several weeks ago!!!....this all started when I brought my car in on Dec. 4 2017...they called me yesterday afternoon that my car is ready...Feb. 23...

Just finished talking to the dealer...another week has gone by... the dealer requested a mitsubishi electric car specialist to examine to the car. The specialist is expected to come this tuesday and hopefully then they can give me an answer on how Mitsubishi will handle my warranty claim and how...

Oversized tires or wrong size tires can get you in trouble with the dealer/mitsubishi with a traction battery failure? http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3877&start=20#p34751 http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3877&start=20#p34870

All those tax breaks don't come free... congestion tax? Why so many people? Maybe if the UK leaves the Euro and the rest of the countries in Europe follow suit there wouldn't be a need forcing people to go electric through taxation. The current technology should not be forced on anyone. The...

I will wait until they make their final decision to post about my car... but in the meantime.... Mitsubishi is releasing the Outlander PHEV in north america... Will how mitsubishi handles warrranty claims affect the release of their PHEV? Here's food for thought on the outlander...

I called Mitsubishi Motors Canada customer service yesterday. It was the same guy trying to give me the runaround and again telling me to talk to the dealer. I kept pushing hard that I have been without a car for six weeks...and that I will have to pay 6 hours of diagnostics which is about 900...

Just an update. The dealer contacted my last week while I was away on vacation. I just spoke with them today and now they are saying that because of my diesel parking heater mitsubishi may not cover my battery warranty claim. Mitsubishi requires 5 more hours of testing to see if t my diesel...

I just got off the phone with Mitsubishi Canada customer service... they gave me the runaround. They said they can't help me and that I can only be helped by the dealership. The dealership can't tell me anything because they are waiting for approval from Mitsubishi engineering in Japan. No one...

It was cold when I brought it to the dealer. I didn't use electric heat at all. I doubt I would have made it using electric heat. My dash was lit up with the amber exclamation light and traction control lights as well. The dealer offered me my car back to use as I wait for approval... but it's...

You can add me to the list of imiev's with a failed battery. Cell 81of my 2012 took a big dive in voltage at 49700 km's. Mitsubishi is making me wait for their decision to approve the warranty claim. The car to me is totally unreliable for use and they will not supply a loaner car until the...

I'm in the same boat. I had a thread earlier about my problem... I ended up changing the battery.... I still get abs warning light on startup. I've tried all sorts of different starting patterns... sometimes nothing works. Sometimes the only that does work is drive it a bit and then restart. So...

I own a 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage as well as a 2012 imiev es. I had ordered a cabin filter for my mirage a while ago and did a search for filter by sizes and they are both pretty close. I popped the mirage filter in my imiev and it fit almost perfect. No expensive or imported filter necessary...

I know in the winter diesel trucks use diesel antifreeze. My dad used to use it on his pickup truck. I'm not sure how that would work with the heater. From the Webasto website: All Webasto heaters are tested and approved to work in a temperature range from -30° to +40°C or more. The fuel used...
