Hi
Yesterday i was about to tow my boat and trailer out of the water which i have done several times before without any problems.
But this time my PHEV almost did not manage to pull it out!?! Battery charge at 50% ICE started and car in Normal driving mode with 4WD lock activated.
But nothing happened! at full throttle my phev felt very weak and just made electric humming sound but there was no driving motion forward. I had to reverse back down in the lake several times and finally after full throttle and one meter pull suddenly the right front wheel started spinning like crazy and then the car did not move, just one wheel spinning and burning rubber. Weird since it was in 4WD lock position!
No visible errors or warnings.
This repeated itself several times until my 71year old dad assisted by giving the car a push. Eventually we got up on flat surface and where able to drive home.
Dont know if it is related or not, but a couple of weeks ago while reversing the trailer into the garage i heard banging noise from somewhere under the car, at the time i thought that the sound came from the trailer coupling grinding on the car hook, but perhaps the bonking sound came from one or two of the engines? I did not notice any burnt smell and did not think anyting else of it at the time.
The boat and trailer together weighs around 1200KG which in total is well below 1500 KG maximum trailer weight!
There are no warnings or visible errors when driving and the car seems fine. I have spoken to the Mitsubishi reseller and they did not know what the problem might be. According to them this is unheard of, but to be sure i have booked a service visit september 6th just in case...!
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
