2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Complaints

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 WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AT NIGHT, IN THE RAIN, AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I TRIED EVERY SETTING TO NO AVAIL. I TRIED USING THE CLEANING FLUID (WHICH USUALLY TRIGGERS THE WIPERS) AND THE FLUID PUMPED, BUT THE WIPERS DIDN'T WIPE. THE REAR WIPER IS STILL WORKING. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND CHECKED THE FUSES, AND THEY ARE FINE. I TRIED TO MANUALLY MOVE THE WIPERS, AND THEY MOVED FREELY.

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.

ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION GONE AT 55K MIL 2ND TRANSMISSION GONE AT 150K ... I'M GONNA CHANGE 3RD ONE NOW (NO MORE GUARANTEE) I'M NOT SURE NEXT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHEN IS COMING?! I LOST MONEY,TIME ETC. EVERYBODY SAYING YOU PASS 100K MILEAGE... 150K MIL CAR CHANGE 3RD TIME TRANSMISSION!!! PLS STOP SELLING MITSUBISHI CAR IN THE US

THE CVT TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE NEW MEXICO. WE WERE DRIVING, NO PROBLEMS AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT SAID STOP THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER. ENDED UP HAVING THE VEHICLE TRANSPORTED BACK HOME TO TEXAS AND WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY HAD JUST RAN OUT. WE MISSED IT BY 3,000 MILES. ENDED UP SPENDING OVER $6,000.00 ON A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT IS STILL NOT RUNNING RIGHT. I THOUGHT I HAD RESEARCHED THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE BEFORE PURCHASING IT, APPARENTLY NOT. NOW I'M SCARED TO TAKE IT ON ROAD TRIPS. ONLY DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR IS HESITANT AND IT JERKS YOU WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY SWERVED TO THE SHOULDER LANE. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE COLLIDED WITH THE GUARDRAIL, THE VEHICLE SWERVED BACK INTO THE TRAVEL LANE, AND THEN BACK TO THE SHOULDER LANE WHERE THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE COLLIDED WITH THE GUARDRAIL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SEAT BELTS WERE LATCHED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LEFT ARM AS THE WINDOW WAS OPEN AND HER ARM WAS CUT BY THE GUARDRAIL. THE CONTACT ALSO SUSTAINED BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUSTAINED BACK AND HEAD INJURIES AS HIS HEAD STRUCK THE DASHBOARD. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT AND THEN TOWED TO AN AUTO GARAGE BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. WHILE AT THE AUTO GARAGE, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE INSPECTED DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY TO HAVE THE BLOOD CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.
