VF AUTO: YOUR MITSUBISHI SPECIALIST

​

Mitsubishi is well known for its SUVs, all-wheel-drive systems and plug-in hybrid technology. Many Mitsubishi models have also earned a reputation for providing years of service when properly maintained.

​

Like any vehicle, however, certain models can develop specific concerns as they age and accumulate mileage.

​

At VF Auto, our experience with Mitsubishi vehicles helps us recognize many commonly encountered symptoms and, more importantly, perform the proper testing to determine what is actually causing them.

​

COMMON MITSUBISHI PROBLEMS WE DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR

​

CVT transmission shudder, hesitation and surging

​

Certain Mitsubishi vehicles equipped with CVT transmissions can develop symptoms such as shuddering during acceleration, hesitation, unusual engine RPM changes, reduced performance or transmission warning lights.

​

Mitsubishi has published technical information for certain CVT-8 transmissions involving shudder or surge conditions associated with transmission hydraulic-pressure operation.

​

A CVT is a major and expensive component, making proper diagnosis extremely important before determining that the transmission needs to be replaced.

​

VF Auto can check transmission fault codes, operating data and overall condition to determine the appropriate repair strategy.

​

Outlander PHEV plug-in hybrid and electrical systems

​

The Outlander PHEV is considerably more complex than a conventional vehicle, incorporating a high-voltage drive battery, electric motors, a 12-volt auxiliary battery, numerous electronic control modules and a gasoline engine.

​

Because of that complexity, a starting problem, charging concern or warning message does not automatically mean the high-voltage battery has failed.

​

Mitsubishi has published technical information regarding auxiliary-battery discharge and certain extreme-cold-weather operating concerns on some recent Outlander PHEV vehicles.

​

Our approach is to properly diagnose the system before replacing expensive components.

​

AWD and S-AWC system concerns

​

Many Mitsubishi models are equipped with sophisticated all-wheel-drive systems.

An AWD or S-AWC warning light, vibration, noise or unusual driving behaviour can be related to several different systems, including wheel-speed sensors, ABS components, mechanical components, wiring or electronic control modules.

​

Our technicians can perform a complete diagnosis to identify what is preventing the system from operating correctly.

​

Suspension and steering noises

​

Clunks, creaks, popping noises, vibration or noise while turning can originate from struts, strut mounts and bearings, links, bushings, control arms, wheel bearings or other suspension components.

​

Technical information has also been published concerning front strut-bearing noise on certain recent Outlander models.

​

Instead of replacing several suspension parts in an attempt to find the problem, we locate the source of the noise first.

​

Check engine lights, misfires and loss of power

​

A check engine light on a Mitsubishi can originate from the ignition system, fuel delivery, air intake, emissions system, a sensor or an internal mechanical issue.

​

A trouble code generally tells a technician where to begin diagnosing the problem. It does not necessarily tell you which part needs to be replaced.

​

Our technicians analyze fault codes, live data and vehicle operation to determine the actual cause.

​

Brakes, wheel bearings and suspension

​

Road and weather conditions can be extremely hard on suspension and braking components.

​

Wheel-bearing noise, vibration, steering play, uneven tire wear, brake noise or brake-pedal pulsation are all concerns our technicians can diagnose and repair.

​

Battery and charging-system problems

​

A Mitsubishi that is difficult to start or suddenly displays several warning lights can sometimes have a relatively straightforward 12-volt battery, connection, ground or charging-system problem.

​

We test the complete system rather than automatically replacing the battery.

​

Timing-belt maintenance on certain engines

​

Certain Mitsubishi engines, including some V6 engines used in earlier models, use a timing belt that requires replacement according to the vehicle's maintenance schedule.

​

Timing belts do not always provide much warning before developing a problem, making it important to verify the service history and perform preventive replacement when required.

​

MITSUBISHI PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

​

A properly maintained Mitsubishi can provide many years of reliable service.

​

VF Auto can take care of your Mitsubishi's recommended maintenance, including:
