Greeting Electronauts, I just noticed the indicator light in my seat heater switch (driver side only) is no longer working. Heater works, bulb does not illuminate. Any advice how to access the bulb? Thanks

I have noticed my stock antenna is cracked and deteriorating rapidly. (Rubber(?) is drying out badly. Has anyone replaced theirs with a OEM Mitsubishi antenna? How about availability and cost? Thanks. Stay charged my friends. 48802 miles.

FYI fellow IMIEV owners: Just received a letter from Mitsubishi Warranty Dept. regarding" potential low durability of the capacitors on the circuit boards in the On-Board-Charger (OBC)...... " As a result, the drive battery may not be charged by regular charging and the 12V battery may not be...

After five years of use I finally had to change the battery in my every day key to the car. After completing that task I decided to check the spare key that has been sitting in a drawer unused for five years. Lo and behold it did not work. Thinking perhaps it was the battery too, I opened the...

I've "searched" the forum and could not find this topic. Owners manual does not appear to show location of fuse for parking lights. I seem to recall a post many years ago about the difficulty of accessing the bulbs so wanted to confirm the status of the fuse(s) first. Both right and left lights...

For some unknown reason I decided to run the heater today. It's only about 85 in Houston today. Anyway, I noticed something that was never apparent before. When I switched the ac/heater knob (top one) from heater to ac and back again, (with fan switch on medium speed and mode selection switch...

Now that our cars are getting on in age, has anyone looked at extended (third party) warranty programs ? I received an unsolicited letter from one such company today and enjoyed hearing all the ICE components that would be covered if I purchased this platinum program to the tune of $595/year. In...

2012 ES model. I couldn't find my car keys. When I found them in the ignition of the car all the lights were blinking at me and there was a strange clicking noise. I think I left the car turned on ( I had just returned from a trip) and plugged in the level one charger then went into the house...

Has anyone replaced window glass in their car? I'm curious about availability of the glass itself. Local Mitsubishi dealer indicated it will have to be ordered from California but I was wondering if anyone had experience with a local source. Passenger rear door window was smashed. Thanks

According to a news story I heard today, Nissan now has a 34% ownership position in Mitsubishi. Perhaps the I-MIEV will be promoted/advertised more now as Nissan would have two models to present to the public. Maybe a larger capacity battery would be in the works for the I-MIEV as the Leaf sees...

Has any one reversed the front tires (side to side) and the back tires (side to side)? With almost 24000 miles on the original tires, I'm thinking I might be able to stretch out their life a little by swapping sides. Any input would be appreciated.

This week my car went to the dealer for the impact sensor recall. That evening while locking the car with the key fob I noticed a strange red light flashing on the dash. After reading the owners manual I discovered the light indicates the security system is armed, I've owned the car almost three...

Greetings electronauts, Mitsubishi is hosting a Mitsubishi Owners Day at its Normal, Illinois plant on Sept. 26, from 9-1. according to an e-mail I received today. Any I-Miev owners in the area might want to attend to show their enthusiasm for their electric vehicles. On the other hand, the...

My 2012 ES vehicle is getting expensive to maintain. Not only did I have to replace the driver side windshield wiper last week but now a bulb has burned out. Seriously, has any one had experience changing the parking light bulb. The manual seems a bit confusing to me. Driver's side. Thanks

Greetings electronauts, Are any other owners monitoring their electricity usage with a Kill A Watt meter (120 volt application). Level 1. Recently my meter started to read 140 volts when the car was charging. I unplugged the car and tried it in another outlet without the car plugged into the...

Was talking recently to Leman Chevy in Bloomington, IL. about a white 2012 I miev for sale. When I called to get DC/DC quick charge information today I was told the car was sold to someone in Texas. Did anyone on this forum buy that car? Looked like a great deal. How much were the shipping...

Just read a story (sorry no link) about Mitsubishi pulling out of manufacturing cars in the US. (Plant in Normal, Illinois). Their plan is to concentrate on the Asia market. A question still remains if they will continue to sell cars in the US. Potentially not good news for the I-Miev club.

Well, after over 17600 care free miles, the rear bumper of my car was hit by an inattentive driver yesterday evening on the way home from an electric car club meeting!!! Luckily it was low speed but popped most of the plastic rivets loose and now the bumper is misaligned. Has anyone had repairs...

Greetings electronauts, Does anyone know if the graphic thats on the sides (doors) of the white/blue I-Miev is available aftermarket? I didn't see it on the 3M website related to I-Mievs and wonder if the car comes from the factory with them already applied. Thanks. 2012, Silver, ES with QC (now...
