ON MY 2007 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER XLS ALL OF AT FLUID POURED OUT ON THE GROUND IN MY PARKING (ENTERING COMMUNITY PARKING) AND COMMUNITY DRIVE WAY AND CAN NOT NOT MOVE THE CAR,NO DRIVE AT ALL.THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. I TOOK PICTURE OF UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND SHOWS THE OIL DISCHARGE FROM TRANSFER CASE. I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND IT IS TRANSFER CASE ASSEMBLY OIL SEAL OUT OF POSITION. LOOKING AT THE RECALLS FOR MY CAR I'VE COME ACROSS THIS RECALL BY MITSUBISHI: RECALL NUMBER:14V365000. RECALL DATE:06/25/2014 REPLACEMENT TRANSFER CASE ASSEMBLY. I CALLED BOTH MITSUBISHI AT 1-888-648-7820 AND MITSUBISHI DEALER PAUL BLANCO IN SACRAMENTO AT 916-485-2277 AND BOTH OF THEN EITHER PRETEND TO BE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM OR DID NOT HONOR THEIR COMMITMENTS TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY AND RECTIFY THE FAULT/PROBLEM. APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND PATIENCE WITH ME. AWAITING YOUR KIND AND TIMELY RESPONSE. PS:HAVE MORE PICTURES BUT SOMEHOW I COULDN'T DOWNLOAD MORE![XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

THE TRANSFER CASE OIL SEAL DISLODGED, AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (AFT) ENTERED THE CASE ASSEMBLY, RESULTING IN POOR TRANSMISSION SHIFTING WITH A STRANGE SOUND. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY RECALL NUMBER 14V365000 (RECALL DATE 06/25/2014). BUT MITSUBISHI CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT DENIED THIS IMPORTANT POWER TRAIN - TRANSFER CASE RECALL, SAYING THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY FOUR RECALLS, NOT INCLUDING THIS RECALL. THEY ALSO DO NOT HAVE ANY RECORDS ON WHERE AND WHEN THESE RECALLS WERE CORRECTED. I HAVE NEVER CONTACTED A SUCH BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

I PURCHASED MY 2007 MITSUBISHI FROM QUAKERTOWN MITSUBISHI IN APRIL ON 2017. IN THE LAST MONTH MY CAR WILL BE STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION WHEN TRYING TO MOVE OUT OF PARK THE CARE WON'T MOVE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO GET MY CAR LOOKED AT. WHEN I MADE THE APPOINTMENT I WAS NOT TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED A 59.95 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. I DID NOT PAY THE FEE BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE FUNDS. THEY DID REPLACE MY WIPERS PER THE RECALL. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. I MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND STILL OWE OVER 9 THOUSAND ON THIS CAR.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V680000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING).
