AT APPROXIMATELY 18,500 MILES I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS VIBRATION IN BOTH THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL WHEN BRAKING. BASED ON THE MILEAGE I FIGURED IT MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG OUTSIDE OF THE BRAKES - TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AT JEFF D'AMBROSIO AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED FRONT ROTORS, BACK ROTORS AND BACK BRAKE PADS - AND THEY WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO SOMEONE ELSE TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE (KEPT THE PARTS) AND REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS AND WILL HAVE THE BACK DONE THIS WEEKEND - PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BRAKES SHOWED UNEVEN WEAR WITH THE INNER BRAKE PAD WEARING AT AN ANGLE...THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.

I JUST PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED 2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT GT WITH AN ODOMETER OF AROUND 6043 MILES AT TIME OF PURCHASE. IN THE LAST 2 DAYS SINCE PURCHASING, I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHILE THE CAR IS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AT A COMPLETE HALT, WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD, THERE IS A WAITING DELAY OF A SECOND AND THEN THE CAR SURGES FORWARD. THE DELAYED RESPONSE WHERE THE CAR DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS CAN HAPPEN AFTER BEING IN A COMPLETE STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, OR ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE COMPLETE STOPPING DURING TRAFFIC. EVEN WHEN PUSHING HARDER ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE FORWARD, THE CAR STILL HAS A DELAYED RESPONSE AND THEN SURGES FORWARD AND THIS HAPPENS WHEN ENTERING INTO AN INTERSECTION OR CROSSING THAT HAS PUT ME IN CLOSE CALL SITUATIONS. I AM CURRENTLY AROUND 6077 MILES AND HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ANNOUNCED FOR THE OUTLANDER SPORT 2016 REGARDING ISSUES WITH THE CVT AND A DELAYED ACCELERATION. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND MENTIONED THE RECALL AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE BUT THEY SAID ON THE CARFAX THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SPECIFIC CAR.
