Common problems and easy repairs on a 2012 Lancer
The 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer SE is a moderately easy car to maintain. Most of the headlights are easily accessible by simply reaching behind the bulb housing, allowing for reliable bulb changes when necessary. Monitoring the transmission fluid level shouldn’t be a problem, as its dipstick is quick to find, easy to remove, and simple to read. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together, allowing for a quick set-up in the event of a flat.
However, the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer SE has some downsides. You need to use voice activation to connect your Bluetooth device, which can be a problem given the lack of a detailed menu. The air filter intake vent needs to be removed to access the battery, which can be an overall lengthy procedure. The washer fluid reservoir needs to be disconnected to access the highbeam on the passenger side, which doesn’t make for reliable access.
