Lancer Ex - Known Issues

[Podi Lamaya]

Hi All,

Currently I'm driving a 2008 model Lancer GLX (1.3 engine) and hoping to upgrade it to Lancer Ex. But a lot of people including some owners warned me about an ABS sensor issue. I want to know all the known issues related to this model and the description of each trim level (e.g. GLS) for Lancer Ex.

Hope experts can help.

Note: I have read all the related topics on the forum. But I was unable to find any issues other than the ABS sensor issue.

I've been reliably informed by the EX owners ( kush, Harry, ELNINO... ) There will be NO such issues on ABS or anything if you buy a brand new one (YOM 2013/2014). I have already placed an order and waiting for my EX to arrive ...

They are long-term owners and they will def. help you on this matter.

Thanks Bracket.

However, my budget is not sufficient to go for a brand new one (yes, if I have a permit I might go. But the normal price is around 7 million at the agent). I would most probably go for a 2008 Lancer Ex (GLS).

The ABS issue of most of the 2008 Ex running on the road should have been fixed by now.

I guess running a diagnostic check will help to identify whether the ABS issue is correctly fixed or has been patched up (Maka-baased). There might be other ways also.

Im also planning to start my hunt for a used 2008-09 GLS pretty soon
