| I have a 2002 mitsubishi lancer and the temperature control knob in the vehicle has been difficult to turn since i bought the car. the knob broke off two weeks ago. i contacted my dealer who stated that i can not just change the knob i have to change the whole unit which will cost me around $ 600.00 plus services fees to install it. this should be a recall item, since heating (and cooling) a vehicle allows it to be operable during hot and cold temperatures. it is now beginning to get cold. | |||

| This is a complaint i have seen on other websites from thousands of other mitsubishi lancers from 2000- 2005, but mainky in the 2002 model range. the heater/air conditioner controls sieze up and either the cable freezes up and the control knob snaps off on the temperature controls. to me this is a safety concern not necesarily for the use of the vechicle, but rather for the health of the driver and those who who ride in the vechicle.they could freeze in the winter or get heat stroke in the summer. | |||
