What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV

Your i-MiEV’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mitsubishi, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mitsubishi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Mitsubishi i-MiEV Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Mitsubishi i-MiEV may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mitsubishi i-MiEV doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV drivetrain repair is expensive. Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.

Questions About 2017 Mitsubishi i-MiEV

Drivetrain problems mean driving problems. Get answers to common drivetrain questions and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for drivetrain help.

  • How does Mitsubishi drivetrain maintenance help save money? Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.
  • How do I know if my Mitsubishi drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your Mitsubishi i-MiEV, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • When should I come in for Mitsubishi i-MiEV differential service? Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.
  • What causes a i-MiEV’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate? If your i-MiEV has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.
  • Is it possible to reset the i-MiEV malfunction warning light on my own? It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your i-MiEV, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your i-MiEV to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.
  • How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my i-MiEV? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your i-MiEV. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your i-MiEV.
  • Is my i-MiEV’s transmission part of the drivetrain? Yes, the drivetrain system in your i-MiEV includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your i-MiEV forward.
