Steering wheel radio controls acting up
#11
I'm having the same issue with my '07 XLS, loaded. I don't have the DVD hack... taking it to the dealer Wednesday... I'll post if they find anything, but as stated previously, it won't likely replicate. It's too bad since my warranty will be up in a few months (mileage).

Bump.
I want to bump this thread.
I have an 07 XLS fully loaded, identical problems with the steering wheel controls. It is annoying, but intermittent. I would imagine when I tell the dealer and they push a button it won't happen.

Solution?
Yeah, they think it's some spring... they've got the part on order. They did say that this was a new issue (only 7 similar cases in the US, 6 of those were lancers). Once I get the part installed, I'll let you know if it does the trick...
Finally, they asked me a series of questions about when this issue seems to occur. Here's what they asked so you can pay attention next time it acts up...
Does it happen mostly when turning, or driving straight? (Straight for me)
When accelerating or decelerating? (Neither prevalent)
Etc...
Basically, when it happens, take mental notes.

Please keep us updated!

Yes, the part they replaced (clock spring) is under the 60k warranty. That's why I went in, because my '07 is at about 58k.
So far, so good; I haven't had any issues in the week or so since its installation.
Abrcrombe - Yeah, they reiterated that fact when I picked it up. Maybe people just aren't complaining?

Hi I am a long time reader and finally signed up. I too have the problem with the steering wheel controlls. I have a 2007 XLS Loaded. I stopped at my dealer and explained the problem but they told me they can't do anything unless it is doing it at the time. Anybody have any luck with this yet????

If they brakes were not working some of the time, would they tell you they can't fix it until they do not work all the time. (i.e. after you crash into a tree)
I would speak to the service dept manager, or the dealership manager. If you do not get good service from them, call Mitsu Corp or go to another dealership.
