MY STEPDAUGHTER DROVE TO WORK MONDAY (8/9/16) AND COULD NOT REMOVE HER KEY, SWITCH ONLY WENT BACK TO ACC POSITION. I ARRIVED AND LOOKED IT OVER, STARTED MOTOR, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, THEN BACK TO PARK, CUT OFF SWITCH AND TURNED ALL WAY TO OFF POSITION THIS TIME. SOUNDS LIKE ISSUE WITH IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER. IT'S A 2015 WITH LESS THAN 10K MILES. SHE TOOK IT TO DEALER WHO BASICALLY ACCUSED HER OF SPILLING LIQUID DOWN INTO SHIFTER, HOWEVER ONCE THEY SAY CONDITION OF CAR KNEW THIS WASN'T CASE. TOLD HER THEY WILL REPAIR IT A WEEK FROM YESTERDAY. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE MY 4 YEAR OLD BEAUTIFUL GRANDDAUGHTER RIDES IN THAT CAR (HER MOTHER'S) PRIMARILY. I'M GOING TO DEALERSHIP UPON OPENING IN MORNING BECAUSE WE NEED A LOANER CAR FOR MY STEPDAUGHTER TO USE UNTIL HER OUTLANDER IS FULLY EQUIPPED WITH THE SAFETY REPAIR. SHE HAD ONLY HAD CAR LITTLE OVER 3 MONTHS, IT'S LEAST THEY WILL DO. MY STEPDAUGHTER IS ALOT NICER THAN MYSELF. I'M NOT HAVING MY STEPDAUGHTER OR GRANDDAUGHTER IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. WILL BE DEMANDING AND RECEIVING LOANER CAR FOR HER IN THE MORNING.

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!

MY FATHER PURCHASED HIS 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT IN APRIL 2015 WITH A TOTAL OF 3 MILES ON IT. STARTING APPROX THE END OF JULY/BEGINNING OF AUGUST, THE VEHICLE WOULD "STUTTER" AND SHAKE UPON ACCELERATION. HE PROMPTLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE WHERE THEY TOLD HIM IT WAS A LOOSE TRANSMISSION CABLE AND FIXED IT. APPROX 1 WEEK AFTER BEING FIXED, IT BEGAN TO STUTTER AND SHAKE AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME SOUNDED LIKE LOUD BANGS AND LIKE THE CV JOINT WAS COMING APART. HE TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PREVIOUS TRANSMISSION CABLE FIX WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THAT IT WAS FIXED "CORRECTLY THIS TIME". OVER THE LAST WEEK, THE CAR IS ACTING UP AGAIN - AND IS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. HE HAS TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING. THEY LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL DAYS WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT AND DAD FINALLY PICKED IT UP WITHOUT ANYTHING BEING DONE TO IT. HE WAS EVEN IN CONTACT WITH THE MITSUBISHI MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE IS NOW SHUDDERING ON AN ALMOST CONSTANT BASIS WITH NO EXPLANATION OR HELP FROM THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER AND HE HAS ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS.
