2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CEASED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER NOR WAS A DEALER NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATELY FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHILE DRIVING ALONE, THE 'AIRBAG SYSTEM REPAIR REQUIRED' MESSAGE AND LIGHT APPEARS ON MY DASHBOARD. THIS OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH. THE ICON SHOWN WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT, HOWEVER THE SEAT WAS EMPTY. *TR

THIS 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT WAS BOUGHT FROM A DEALER AT 42,000 MILES, NOW IT HAS 69,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR WOULD DO JUMPS OR JERKS DURING LOW SPEED OR GETTING UP TO SPEED ABOUT 30-45MPH. THE RPM JUMPS UP AND DOWN WHILE GOING 50-70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE MITSUBISHI RECALL SR-16-006 STATED BACK IN 2016 FOR 2015-2016 OUTLANDER SPORT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A MITSUBISHI DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS AN INTERNAL FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION, CODE 084A, FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR PERFORMANCE. THE DEALER WANTS $7,700 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. SADLY, A SECOND OWNER'S POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. THE CAR HAD THE CVT-ECU SOFTWARE UPDATED BACK IN 2016 THROUGH THE MITSUBISHI RECALL SR-16-006 WHEN IT WAS OWNED BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER DID NOT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AS THEY SHOULD HAVE ACCORDING TO THE RECALL. THUS HERE WE ARE, THE OWNERS WITH CARS THAT HAVE THE OLD TRANSMISSIONS WITH THE PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED! MITSUBISHI NEEDS TO MAKE ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE TRAFFIC TO SUDDENLY LOSE POWER TO ACCELERATE OR WHEN THE CAR WANTS TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE BY ITSELF CONSTANTLY! THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER SAFETY DEFECT, THE CAR BARELY HAS 69,000 MILES! WE ARE A MITSUBISHI FAMILY. WE HAVE A 2002 LANCER THAT IS CURRENTLY AT 200,000+ MILES WITHOUT ANY MAJOR REPAIR! WE ALSO HAVE A 2014 OUTLANDER SPORT THAT IS STILL RUNNING WELL AT 60,500+ MILES, AND WE'RE HOPING FOR THE BEST. IT IS VERY SAD TO BE IN THIS POSITION. THIS VIDEO SHOWS THE PROBLEM THE CAR IS HAVING: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/ABD9PHF5CEA?T=107 LOOK AT THE RECENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND THINK ABOUT HOW MANY OF THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE NHTSA INFORMATION: HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/VEHICLE/2015/MITSUBISHI/OUTLANDER%252520SPORT/SUV/FWD. *TR

TRANSMISIN SLIPS , CAR STUDDERS DURING ACCELERATION, VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A STREET OR ENTERING HIGHWAYS. VERY HARD TO CONTROL STEERING, ENGINE MAKES A LOUD NOISE (AS IF YOU ACEELERATE AND THERE IS NO POWER, HIGH RPM NOISE)

I HAVE A 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT I BROUGHT BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT. IN THE SUMMER OF 2019, THE "REMOVE KEY" LIGHT WOULD COME ON AFTER MY KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. .ON 12/19/19, MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER TO START AND THE "REMOVE KEY" LIGHT STAYED ON. I HAD CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER SAID KEY CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND TOLD THEM THIS WAS THE 4TH BATTERY I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE WITH THIS CAR. I BOUGHT NEW BATTERY AND DEALER ORDERED PART. THE KEY CYLINDER PART CAME IN AND WAS REPLACED ON 01/09/20. ON 01/20/20, THE "REMOVE KEY" LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START. TOWED CAR BACK TO SAME DEALER WHO FOUND KEY CYLINDER WAS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED AND REINSTALLED CYLINDER. TODAY 01/22/20, THE "REMOVE KEY" LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I'M WAITING FOR A CALL BACK TODAY FROM THE SAME DEALER TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE DONE. THE "REMOVE KEY" LIGHT PREVENTS YOU FROM LOCKING THE DOORS NORMALLY, WHILE SITTING IN THE CAR, I HAD TO LOCK ALL DOORS BEFORE REMOVING KEY FROM IGNITION. THE "REMOVE KEY" LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN I REMOVE KEY. THEN AFTER I EXIT THE CAR AND CLOSE THE DRIVER DOOR, I HAVE TO USE MY KEY TO LOCK MY DRIVER DOOR. OTHERWISE I CAN'T LOCK ALL OF MY CAR DOORS WITH THE KEY OR KEY FOB AND HAVE TO GET BACK IN THE RESTART CAR AND START CYCLE OVER. I ASKED DEALER TO CHECK ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BECAUSE I HAVE REPLACED THE CAR BATTERY 4 TIMES ON THIS CAR ALREADY WHICH IS RIDICULOUS AND COSTS ME MONEY SINCE IT'S NOT COVERED IN MY CAR WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. I ONLY HAVE LESS THEN 34,000 MILES ON MY CAR. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON REMEDYING THIS ISSUE?? DID I PURCHASE A LEMON?

MY WIFE AND I WENT TO WALKER AUTOMOTIVE, 1616 S. MACARTHUR DR ALEXANDRIA, LA 71301, (318)445-6421 TO FINANCE A LOW OR NO MILEAGE, MPG) EFFICIENT VEHICLE FOR MY WIFE. THE SALESPERSON, STEVE FARRELL ASKED, 'WHAT TYPE OF VEHICLE DID WE WANT?' I TOLD HIM MY FIRST CHOICE WAS A 4 CYL WITH A THIRD-ROW SEATING, WITH AN MPG RATING IN THE MID TO UPPER 20'S AND NOT A BIG BODY THAT MY WIFE WOULD BE DRIVING MOST OF THE TIME. HE SHOWED A GRAY 2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SE (THE VEHICLE WE FINANCED). MY WIFE GOT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND DROVE THE VEHICLE AROUND ON A FEW CITY STREETS SURROUNDING THE DEALERSHIP. I ASKED MR. FARRELL ABOUT THE MILEAGE (34,421) THIS VEHICLE ALREADY HAD. HE STATED, 'THESE WERE HWY MILES.' I INFORMED HIM THAT THE MILEAGE WAS AGREEABLE SINCE I KNEW MY WIFE NEEDED A VEHICLE THAT WAS GOOD FOR HWY DRIVING. AFTER FINANCING THIS VEHICLE, I RETURNED TO WALKER FOR OIL CHANGES, MULTI-POINT INSPECTIONS AND A COUPLE OF MITSUBISHI RECALLS. ONE OF THE RECALLS WAS FOR THE DOOR LOCKS NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHED 5MILES PER HOUR. THE OTHER RECALL WAS FOR A FAILURE IN THE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM THAT WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE EVEN WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. I DISCOVERED THESE RECALLS BY GOING TO THE AUTOZONE WEBSITE. MITSUBISHI DID NOT SEND ME A LETTER. I SCHEDULED AN APPT TO HAVE THE RECALLS CORRECTED. I WAS ASKED TO SPEAK TO 2 DIFFERENT SVC ADVISORS. THE FIRST ADVISOR, MICHAEL MEDINA, WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ORDERED THE PARTS, BUT DIDN'T, SO MY APPT WAS PUSHED BACK ANOTHER MONTH. THE NEXT SERVICE ADVISOR, SAM MORRISON ORDERED THE PARTS AND SET THE APPT FOR ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN. MR. MEDINA COMMITTED SUICIDE AND MR. MORRISON STOPPED WORKING FOR WALKER AFTER REPAIRING THE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. MY CONVERSATIONS WITH BOTH OF THESE ADVISORS WAS TO ASK THEM IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER RECALLS. THEY BOTH REPLIED, 'NOT TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE.' *JS
