2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

AT ONLY 76,000 MILES, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER WHEN GOING ANYWHERE FROM 10 MPH-40 MPH. THIS STARTED WHEN I WAS ON A CITY STREET BUT CONTINUED ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A LAG IN ACCELERATION WHEN GOING FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. MY TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON SO, I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND TEST DRIVING IT, THEY SIMPLY HAD TO RESET THE SENSOR. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT WENT ON AND MY CAR WAS STILL SHUDDERING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. AFTER GETTING A TRANSMISSION SERVICE, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS ADVISED TO DO BY THE MITSUBISHI MECHANICS, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES. AT 76,000 THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY MAJOR TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE ISSUES. I AM NOW UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR IN FEAR THAT I WILL END UP IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION FROM A STANDSTILL, OR WHEN ACCELERATING AGAIN AFTER EITHER CONSTANT SPEED OPERATION OR COASTING THE TRANSMISSION WILL DELAY IN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING. WHILE AT 60-65 MPH THE VEHICLE WILL FLUCTUATE IN RPM AND TRY TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING OFF AND ON SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2017. WHEN BRINGING IT IN FOR SERVICE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I WENT TO AUTOZONE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND IT IS STATING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BANK 1 HAS ISSUES. SO WHEN I PARKED IT THIS MORNING 4-24-18 BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT GOING ONE FOR THE TRANSMISSION, I TRIED STARTING IT AND IT STARTED BUT HESITATED AND THEN ALL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WENT OFF. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING UP WITH THE ECU TOO. I KNOW THERE ARE RECALLS FOR 2015 OUTLANDER SPORTS BUT WHY NOT MINE WHEN I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THANK YOU

ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. BOUGHT NEW 9/2015. TREATED APPALLINGLY AT POS. UNRELIABLE INSTRUMENT PANEL KEPT SHOWING A P0017 CODE AT 15K, WOULD NOT CLEAR. TOOK TO DEALER FOR $450 29K SERVICE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER THIS FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME THEN OFF. CAR "PASSED" ALL CHECKS AT DIFFERENT DEALER BUT THEY SAID "TIMING CHAIN" LOOKED LOOSE IN 4/2017 THEY SAID WE COULD REPLACE THE CHAIN, CAM AND CRANK SHAFT AND SENSORS AT OUR EXPENSE FOR 4K ON A NEW CAR. THEY BLAMED US FOR "IMPROPER MAINTENANCE" DUE TO DIRTY OIL. THEY CANCELLED WARRANTY ON ENTIRE VEHICLE. COSE WOULD GO OFF, THEN ON PERIODICALLY, 0017 AGAIN. CAR DROVE FINE UNTIL RECENTLY, CAR THEN STALLED WHILE IN MOTION THROUGH INTERSECTION IN RUSH HOUR, SEIZED UP 42K MILES. DEALER REFUSED TOW AS DEALERSHIP MORE THAN 21 MILES DISHONORED ROADSIDE SERVICE. OUR AAA TOOK TO MECHANIC NEAR HOME WHO DOES JAPANESE CARS, TIMING CHAIN BROKE DX $150. DEALER REFUSED TO HONOR WARRANTY. CHARGED TO REDIAGNOSE, HAD TO TOW BACK TO DEALER $150 DIAGNOSIS AGAIN, TIMING CHAIN BROKE, ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACING. CAR DIED IN INTERSECTION, WAS ALMOST KILLED. DENIED WARRANTY COVERAGE. 7 RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE SO FAR, ONE IS STALLING LIKE WE SAID!!!! DANGEROUS CAR, DO NOT BUY! PLEASE RECALL ENGINE IS BAD, DEALER ASKING 10K TO REPLACE! SEATTLE MITSUBISHI PIERRE. CAR BURNED OIL QUICK IT SEEMS, EVEN SYNTHETIC. THIS IS A PATTERN, MUST RECALL ENTIRE ENGINE ON THESE VEHICLES, PEOPLE WILL DIE.

MY 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT DEVELOPED TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INCLUDING ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT. IT ONLY HAS 34173 MILES ON IT. I RESEARCHED THAT IT HAD A RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION HOSE ASSEMBLY BUT MITSUBISHI NO LONGER LISTS THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT MY VEHICLE GETS REPAIRED AS THE MANUFACTURING DATE OF THE VEHICLE FALLS IN THE TIME WHEN THIS ISSUE WAS NOT DETECTED DURING ASSEMBLY.

I RECEIVED A LETTER EXPLAINING THERE IS A DEFICIENCY WHICH CAN SHUT DOWN MY MOTOR WHILE IN USE, AND TO VISIT A DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. SPOKE WITH REPS BY PHONE AND WAS TOLD IT MUST BE DONE AT A DEALER - NO EXCEPTIONS. I AM MEDICALLY RESTRICTED IN MY ACTIVITIES, I ADVISED THEM. NO EXCEPTIONS. CLOSEST DEALER TO MY HOME (EDWARDS, MS) IS IN ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA, I'M SORRY TO SAY I LEARNED, AND I REQUESTED THEY PROVIDE A CLOSER REPAIR PLACE, LIKE CLINTON OR VICKSBURG, MS, BUT THEY DECLINED. I ASKED THEM HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW FOR SURE. OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS? AT MY EXPENSE. WHAT IF IT BROKE DOWN ON THE WAY AND I WAS ABLE TO AVOID BEING OBLITERATED?? WHY, THEY WOULD DISPATCH A TOW. WHAT ABOUT ME? I WOULD BE ON MY OWN TO GET TO THE DEALER TO PICK UP THE CAR. MAYBE YOUR AGENCY HAS NO ANSWER FOR ME, BUT THIS SEEMS OUTRAGEOUS TREATMENT OF AN UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMER. WHY COULD THEY NOT ARRANGE FOR ANOTHER AUTO DEALERSHIP CLOSER TO ME TO DO THE WORK? AND I NOTICE THERE HAVE BEEN 5 RECALLS ON THE CAR. NOBODY INFORMED ME. SHODDY.

1. IN FEBRUARY 2017, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DISPLAY A PERSISTENT YET INTERMITTENT P0017 CODE. 2. DESPITE TWO SEPARATE REPAIR ATTEMPTS ON MARCH 9, 2017 AND MARCH 15, 2017, YOUNKER MITSUBISHI WAS UNABLE TO ELIMINATE THE P0017 CODE. 3. FROM APRIL 18, 2017 TO APRIL 27, 2017, A PERIOD OF NINE (9) DAYS, THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY PIERRE MITSUBISHI IN AN ATTEMPT TO ELIMINATE THE P0017 CODE. 4. BOTH PIERRE MITSUBISHI'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND MITSUBISHI'S OWN TECH LINE RECOMMENDED WARRANTY REPAIR TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. 5. ON FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 2017, PIERRE MITSUBISHI'S SERVICE MANAGER DENNIS PAULSON PROMISED BY TELEPHONE THAT MITSUBISHI HAD AGREED TO PAY FOR THE WARRANTY REPAIR, AND ACCORDINGLY PARTS WERE SPECIAL ORDERED BY THE DEALER FOR SUCH REPAIR. 6. DESPITE THE INSPECTION RESULTS AND ORAL PROMISES, MR. PAULSON INDICATED ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 2017 THAT MITSUBISHI WAS NO LONGER WILLING TO COVER THE WARRANTY REPAIR. 7. BASED ON MITSUBISHI'S REFUSAL TO PERFORM WARRANTY SERVICE, A PRIMA FACIE CASE OF BREACH OF WARRANTY UNDER THE FEDERAL MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY ACT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED. 8. BASED ON MITSUBISHI'S DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF COVERING UP SERIOUS VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUES, THERE IS AN IMMINENT DANGER THAT THE VEHICLE COULD FAIL AND EXPOSE THE USER TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY OR WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JEFF D'AMBROSIO MITSUBISHI (1223 LANCASTER AVENUE DOWNINGTOWN, PA 19335) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE WAS CONSUMING OIL PREMATURELY, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

MY CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING DOWN OR WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING. MYCAR WILL JUMP FOR ONE SECOND OR SO, THEN TOTALLY FAILS TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE WILL STAY QUEIT FOR COUPLE SECOND EVEN IF I STEP ON THE GAS AS HARD AS I CAN. THEN AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, MY RPM WIL JUMP TO AROUND 5000RPM WITHOUT ANY SIGN. THERE WERE SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS FOR ME IN THE PAST FEW MONTH. WHEN I JUST ENTERED A ROUNDABOUT, THE ISSUE OCCURED AND MY CAR WON'T ACCELERATE. I ALMOST GOT REARENED BY OTHER CARS THAT WERE ALREADY IN THE ROUNDABOUT. I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE MONTHS AGO, AND I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE PROGRAMMING, AND I SHOULD BE ALL SET AFTER THEY UPDATED MY CAR'S SYSTEM. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE IN PAST COUPLE MONTHS. THE PROBLEMS HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AT LOW SPEED (20MPH), AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, OR DRIVING INTO A ROUNDABOUT. THE ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE PEOPLE ON THE CAR AND OTHER CARS THAT ARE ON THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME. I AM HAVING IMMENSE PRESURE WHENEVER I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR WHEN I TRY TO TURN INTO A ROAD OR ROUNDABOUT. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE NHTSA TO TAKE ACTIONS AND ASK THE MANUFACTURER TO COMPLETELY FIX THE PROBLEM!

WHILE DRIVING DURING ACCELERATION AFTER STOPPING OR SLOWING DOWN THE VECHILE LOSES POWER AND HESITATES LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL OR TAKES FEW MINUTES FOR RPM TO KICK IN SO WE CAN GET LITTLE SPEED AND MOVE CAR.. THIS HAPPENS INTEMITTENT AND IS NW BACK AT THE SHOP FOR THE 3RD TIME BUT ALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME IS THERE IS NO CODE SO THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING. VERY CONCERN THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT AND DRIVE TILL HAPPENS AGAIN I DONT WANT IT BACK TO CORRECTED AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM FOR A 2015 WITH ONLY 14000 MILES!

WHILE DRIVING DURING ACCELERATION AFTER I HAVE STOPPED OR SLOWED DOWN THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND JERKS AND JUMPS BEFORE I CAN ACCELERATE AGAIN. THIS ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE THEY WERE TEST DRIVING IT AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHILE TRYING TO GO THROUGH INTERSECTIONS AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IT WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE A WEEK AGO WITH ONLY 17,000 MILES ON IT.
