Kenny, I will be at the local Mitsu-dealer to get myself and the EV introduced to them - I just moved to VT at the End of August. They will (hopefully) check the drain and the main battery and let me know, if the recall notice applies to me. Should be interesting. They can't be worse than the...

Simon, It's the 12V-batteries that die all the time. If I don't use the car for a couple of days, it doesn't open with the key fob and doesn't start. initially I suspected the aftermarket front and back traffic camera, but even with them off, it happens. With the car of and no charger connected...

I have a 2012 MiEV, bought in summer 2013, with about 88,000mi and get a summer range of about 40mi driving country roads and in a small town. The range dropped abruptly after about 40,000mi and I started to have a dead 12V battery, if I didn't use it for a couple of days. Over the years I have...

Don, Thanks. The skinny front tires have bothered me from day one. I am not an aggressive driver and return a healthy 4.5 - 5.5mi/kWh on my commutes with half of it in the HOV-lanes around DC. I have these scary moments, when driving with everybody else in rush hour traffic - it shouldn't be...

I'm at 75,000mi and have to replace my front tires again. It will be the 4th set and all of them wear out excessively and evenly on the outside. I have a 2012. I had the alignment done at Mitsu every time I got new tires. The car was/is always scary on motorway ramps - It starts sliding and the...

It gets more interesting. I had a message from the dealer on my phone today, that the mechanic found a rapidly deteriorating range on my MiEV. Duh - I was at the same dealership about 2 months ago and told them, that my range went drastically down over winter and never came back in spring. They...

I will see, that I get info on the recording device.

Update on my MiEV: The dealership called me and wants to keep the MiEV and drive it for as long as it takes to replicate the issue. They put a recording device on it and have a mechanic drive it every day. It took 71,000mi to have the event once, I just hope, that it doesn't take that many miles...

All, I have an update on my MiEV: 2 days ago on my way home I all of a sudden lost power and the car would only drive like in E-mode with a maximum of around 30mph on a flat road. I ahd 54mi of range left and the display showed the yellow RBS-, car!- and ABS Off-sign. When I tried to accelerate...

I posted all the info under the thread "Mitsubishi on Capacity Loss". They didn't give me anything in writing. I just tried EVBattMon and it didn't connect to my OBDLink MX via my S4. I will try with my Tab Pro tonight. Regards,

Guys, What were the conditions for you getting a battery replaced? My Mitsubishi dealer told me, that I have lost 40% at 70,000mi and they will not honor the warranty unless at least 1 cell is completely gone. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Regards,

I have a 2012 SE, bought new in 7/2013, that has now a tad more than 70,000mi on the odometer. Until mid of last year I could easily go 70mi on my round trip to/from work. 3 of my cells went much worth over the last mild winter in MD and I now get barely over 55mi round trip out of it. I went to...

I get these all the time from King in Gaithersburg and Kirby in Frederick, but they only offer it if I would buy a gasser. They even send me reminders for upcoming oil changes. I have 49,000mi in 35 months with my MiEV and love it. I wish, they would bring out a simple EV without all this...

2012 MiEV, bought 6/2013 & 48,000mi - no issue

blackheart, I have the same issues with Canion and S4 and have them for more than a year now. I put my S4 into the little tray just below the LX and even there it doesn't stay connected for more then 15min. The 137 update is even worth in that when I scroll through the screens, it freezes or...

I run 36psi. When I run 40 or 44psi, the Continental start sliding, when I corner sharply - even in dry weather.

I have taken the front tire's off the rim and swap from left to right. It will give you about 2-3,000mi extra, took about 90min wait and I paid 73USD. I will not do it again and bought cheaper tires since then. The drop in range is not noticeable. Regards,

I have about 48,000mi on my Miev and have done a couple of tire replacements. The front tires wear out after about 15,000mi. They always wear out at the outer edges. I am now on my 3rd set and have used always different brands in the front. I had the wheel alignment checked for the first 2 sets...

JoeS and PV1, Thanks for your info. I will record the next couple of trips with caniON. It's getting warmer here in MD, so it might not show anymore. Would be a good indication, that you guys are right.

The car always gets charged overnight. It never happened before. It's colder then usual. caniON shows 100% at the start. Just wondering, why it never happened before and I have driven 42,000mi in 2.5 years.
