Common Problem

Transmission Issues

One of the most frequently mentioned issues with the Mitsubishi ASX, particularly models around 2017 and 2018, is related to transmission problems. The ASX uses a Jatco CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), which has been noted for reliability concerns. Regular maintenance, such as changing the CVT fluid every 30k miles, is crucial to avoid these issues.

Cold Start Problems

Some owners have reported issues with cold starts, where the vehicle revs hard, drops in revs, and stalls during cold weather. This problem could be linked to several factors, including camshaft wheel issues, spark plugs, or mass flow sensors. Using block heaters to warm up the engine oil before starting might mitigate this issue.

General Reliability and Maintenance

While some users have experienced issues, others report that their ASX vehicles are reliable when properly maintained. It's important to check the service history and ensure regular maintenance is performed, especially focusing on the transmission and engine components.

Boring Driving Experience

Several users have described the driving experience of the ASX as rather dull, noting that while it is functional and reliable, it lacks excitement. However, its practicality and affordability make it a popular choice among rental companies and those looking for a budget-friendly SUV.

Specific Mechanical Issues

In addition to transmission and cold start problems, there can be other mechanical issues like worn sway bar bushings, which may cause noise during acceleration or stopping. These issues are generally fixable at a reasonable cost but should be inspected by a qualified mechanic or dealer.
