AFTER 53000 MILES, MY HYDRAULIC UNIT FAILED, WHICH WILL COST ME ABOUT $2000 TO FIX, I'M NOT SURE WHY SUCH UNIT EXPOSED TO THE ENVIRONMENT WITH NO PROTECT SHIELD, FEELS THEY DESIGNED IT TO FAIL IN 5 YEARS.

THE 2012 LANCER RALLIART WAS PURCHASED NEW. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A TC-SST(TWIN CLUTCH- SPORTRONIC SHIFT TRANSMISSION). AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER OWNING THE VEHICLE, IT CONSTANTLY "SLIPS" INTO GEAR. WHETHER THE CAR IS IN AUTOMATIC MODE, OR IN MANUAL MODE. THE SOUNDS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD CONSTANTLY MAKE ME CRINGE. AT TIME OF FAILURE, I WAS DRIVING 55-60 MPH. AT A STEADY CRUISE IN 6TH GEAR (AUTOMATIC MODE) THE CLUTCH RANDOMLY ENGAGED, DISENGAGED. IT THEN SLIPPED IN AND OUT OF GEAR LIKE A COMPUTER WITH A VIRUS WAS OPERATING THE CAR. I THEN CREEPED TO A STOP FOLLOWED BY A "SERVICE TRANSMISSION REQUIRED" ALERT ON MY DISPLAY. I THEN LIMPED MY CAR HOME, CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS UNDERGOING A FULL $13,000 TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. CAR CURRENTLY HAS 32,XXX MILES. *TR

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
