Warranty
At Mitsubishi, we're so confident in the quality, reliability and durability of the Lancer that we back it with one of the best Powertrain Limited Warranties in the business: 10 years or 100,000 miles. It's just one in a number of extensive warranties that come with the Lancer -- a list that includes a 5-year/60,000-mile fully transferable bumper-to-bumper New Vehicle Limited Warranty, a 7-year/100,000-mile Anti-Corrosion/Perforation Limited Warranty and 5 years/unlimited miles Roadside Assistance. All designed to give drivers the security of knowing that their Lancer is engineered for the long-term, with a limited warranty designed to keep it on the road long into the future.
*See retailer for limited warranty and roadside assistance terms and conditions.
**The 10-year/100,000 mile Powertrain Limited Warranty applies only to the original owner of new, retailed 2008 models purchased from an authorizedMitsubishi dealer. Subsequent owners receive the balance of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty of 5 years/60,000 miles. See retailer for limited warranty and roadside assistance terms and conditions.
†Airbags are part of a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). To decrease the risk of injury from a deploying airbag, always wear your seatbelt, sit upright in the middle of the seat and do not lean against the door. Always place children 12 and under in the rear seat and use appropriate child restraints. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat. See your Owner's Manual and instructions provided with your child restraint for additional information.
