Thanks for the information. Nice to have about 40-50% increase in range over the old battery. I got almost 9 years out of the original battery. Hope to get at least 6 years out of the new battery. Centex

With the new batteries that Mitsubishi is replacing under warranty what differences are there compared to the original battery? Picked up my 2012 today with a new traction battery. I had not seen comments on any changes in the new replacement batteries. I was thinking one of the members might...

Thanks for the info. My 2012 has a 10 warranty, includes the 2 year extension. Got the car back today from local Mitsui dealer, new traction battery, on board charger and a new vacuum pump. No cost. Both service reps stated it was the most expensive warranty claim they have seen in their...

What is the warranty on a new On Board Charger and the traction battery replaced under warranty. Is it 1 year as typical for parts or is it longer. I know some of the members have had theirs replaced and wondered what you learned. Mitsubishi is replacing the OBC and the traction battery under...

I had the 2012 IMiev delivered to the local Mitsubishi dealer on Monday. Today the service manager called and said the on board charger had failed, the capacitor issue. He said it was under warranty and that it was extended from 8 to 10 years. He said they show 5 obc's available in their...

What is the warranty on the major electronic components. I have not seen specifics for those items. Thanks.

I have the OBD reader and will check the cells. Does the iMiev act like a Nissan leaf showing fewer bars as the battery fails? Since I have bought car, 2015, the battery's GOM would show 75 miles when charged and until this weekend it would show 60-64 miles. Now it is down to 9 bars and 33...

The last 2 charge cycles the battery level meter will only charge to 9 bars, 33 miles, then the charger shuts off. Both my 220 EVSE and 120 EVSE act the same. I did check the 12 volt battery voltage today and it was showing 12 volts. Question: Would a lower voltage reading with the 12 volt...

I saw on one of the threads that the main battery warranty had been extended for 10 years for certain model years. They did not have any documentation to validate the warranty extension. Today I setup an account at Mitsubishi. After entering the VIN and getting setup I perused the site...

I ended up pulling the back seats out in order to get to screw that attaches the lever. Found that the open end of a 10mm wrench fits the flats on the adjuster bar. Installed the seats and when I have to adjust the seat I use the 10mm wrench, it works. Have not gone by the local Mitsui...

My 2012 iMiev, the back seat lever on the left side will not adjust the angle of the back seat rest. There is not enough room to back out the screw holding the adjustment lever. Has anyone come up with a work around for this? Thanks

There is a cutout for the airbag. Being a fuzzy rug type material there is not that much reflection. At certain angles it makes the windshield look like it has a light film like it has the film that cars will get over time. It is not so bad to impair vision. For me it has not been an issue.

Being my first summer with the Miev, I would notice a wave of heat would hit me while driving. Even with the a/c at 100%, every so often the heat would hit. Hmm, the Miev's dash is a effective solar collector. Bad for Texas summer, good for winter. I ordered a light gray Dash Mat from...

I received by letter on extending the battery waranty for 10 years. No mention of the MCU in my documentation. Going to file with my iMiev paperwork in the event I ever sold the Miev. Nice for the new to know and have proof.

The event in San Antonio was fun and interesting. I was surprised that the greatest number of EV's were Tesla's to include 3 Tesla Roadsters. There was 3, 2012 i-Mievs. I think only 1 Leaf. I guess second in number was Chevy Volts. The city had a Protera electric bus. There was even a...
