Yep, thanks for posting that. I've never noticed any problem like it describes, but I'll ask my dealership about it next time I'm out there. Better to be safe than sorry.

I've had zero problems, but I'll still go to the dealer and have him fix that. Any time I can get something replaced for free I do it.

  for the info.

So far I've gotten my throttle body, instrument cluster bezel, window weather stripping, and my tires replaced for free.

Consequence:
 THIS MAY TEMPORARILY INCREASE THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE AND THEREFORE INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Sounds kind of.......serious

It could be, but it also says: UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS (VERY SLOW VEHICLE MANEUVERS), THERE MAY BE INSUFFICIENT INITIAL BRAKING ASSIST.

So more than likely it would only happen at low speed, and hopefully you could avoid a crash in such a situation.
I'd still advise everyone to inquire with their dealership about it and get it fixed since it will be free.

Wait... only LOW speed? I'm never at a low speed. I'm either 90mph or stop. No middle ground. I'm safe. YAY!

and if you happend to be at a low speed, and you can't steer out of it, and you have a wreck, then don't buy a lancer. we have top notch handling, kinda LOL, and if you hit something at low speeds then you're gay.  now if you hit something going kinda fast, then thats different. i almost hit a deer coming home from my g/f's house last night, but my breaks stoped me really quickly from 65 lots of tire smoke tho!
