Fan constantly running loud
i am not sure if this suppose to happen, just recently i've noticed that my fan constantly running and it goes pretty loud,(it's not hitting anything that i can see). it doesn't matter about the weather, hot or cold, it still runs loud and fast constantly. i am at 76k miles, anyone might have this same problem?

the fan controller, given that the fan you're talking about is the radiator fan, has a tendency of going on our cars. Its a known problem and if your car is under warranty it might be covered as a defective part. I've replaced 2 of them on my car alone and will probably need to replace one again this summer. For some reason they placed the controller right under the stock intake ram tube and its in a very hot location due to the exhaust manifold and engine heat so it cooks and tends to fry itself causing it to stay on for long periods and even after the car turns off.

totally the fan controller, that has been a very common fault from what I've gathered on this forum - happened to mine, it would just stay on after the engine was off even though it wasn't overly hot, or would be pulsing on and off and sounding embarrassing when you drove somewhere slow like a parking lot. Took it to the dealer and they replaced the controller unit under warranty free, quick n easy.

Mine just started having this problem. I am at around 69,000 right now. Hopefully this is still covered under warranty. Wish there were more Mitsu dealers around me though.
