2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Complaints

ON 12/13/2015 I WAS AT A ONE WAY STOP INTERSECTION AND AS I PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE LOST POWER TO THE DRIVE WHEELS MOMENTARILY AND THEN REENGAGED WITH A JERK. IT FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THEN GRABBED OR REENGAGED. A FEW DAYS BEFORE THIS I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROGRAM REPLACED. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL SERVICE AND ALSO REPORTED THE NEAR MISS DUE TO THE LOSS OF DRIVING POWER. THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AND THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO REPRODUCE THE LOSS OF POWER OR IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. SO FAR THIS FAILURE HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE BUT I WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. LOSS OF POWER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION TO ME IS OF SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE GIVEN HIGH PRIORITY BY ALL. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 3,500 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE LOSS OF POWER AND IS NOW AT 4,000.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS I DID WITH HESITATION AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE ENGINE RPM AT HIGHER SPEEDS - I RECEIVED THIS LETTER ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 4TH - PLEASE TAKE YOUR VEHICLES INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND GET THEM FIXED- YOU WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT - AND IT'S NOT THE INHIBITOR SWITCH.

YES I HAVE A 2015 OUTLANDER AND I AM HAVE TWO ISSUES WITH IT. NUMBER 1. HAVE THE TIME THE CAR DOESNT WANT TO START. I TURN THE KEY AND IT BARELY WANTS TO TURN OVER SO I TURN IT OFF, WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO THEN I WILL TRY AGAIN AND THEN IT WILL START NORMALLY. THE 2ND ISSUE IS THE USUALLY WHEN I START THE VEHICLE, I SMELL GAS FUMES LIKE CRAZY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. THESE ISSUES ARE STILL NOT FIXED AND IT IS GIVING ME A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE TWO DEALERSHIPS NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL AT ALL. I HAVE WITNESSES TWO BOTH OF THESE ISSUES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOTHINGS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE

I FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND NOT SURE HOW LONG THEY STAY ON THIS WEBSITE BUT I NO LONGER HAVE MY VEHICLE IT WAS "REPO" ON 11.11.15 AND WAS GOING TO AUCTION ON 11.26.15 - WHO EVER BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO KNOW IT IS A LEMON. I HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK TO PROVE IT. PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

HEAR STICK POPS OUT OF FEAR WITH SLIGHTEST TOUCH WHILE DRIVING. TRANSMISSION DROPS TO LOWER FEAR WHILE DRIVING. HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART CAR TO GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY. ENGINE HAS 15,693 MILES, MECHANIC SAYS A ROD IS KNOCKING AND SHOULDN'T BE RUNNING THE FAN TO COOL AS MUCH AS IT DOES. ALL THIS HAS MULTIPLE OCCURANCES. MITSUBISHI HAS HAD THE CAR TWICE BUT FOUND NOTHING WRONG.

MY 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT 2.0 HAS 500 MILES ON IT AND IT HESITATES INTERMITTENTLY WHEN STARTING FROM INTERSECTIONS. IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE PUT THE BREAKS ON BUT I THINK IT'S A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I ALMOST GOT HIT TWICE ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS. IT USUALLY DOES THIS WHEN MAKING A TURN.

MY SON HAD SCHEDULE A DRIVING TEST AND WAS FAILED BECAUSE THE INSTRUCTOR STATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING, I DID EXPLAIN TO THIS PERSON THAT THE CAR IS NEW. I TESTED MY SELF AND REALIZE THAT IT DOES NOT STOP THE CAR EVEN WHEN GOING ON 5 MPH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND MAKE THE FORMAL COMPLAINT, THEY SEND THE CAR TO BE CHECK AND CAME TO ME STATEN THAT IT WAS WORKING PERFECT!! I REFUSE THEIR EXPLANATION AND FINALLY THEY SUBGESTED TO TEST OTHER VEHICLE SAME AS MINE TO WHAT I AGREE TO FIND OUT IF WORKS THE SAME OR NOT. TO MY SURPRISE IT DID THE SAME THINK... IT DIDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE AND YES SLOWLY REDUCE THE SPEED...NJ DMV REQUIRE FOR ANY VEHICLE TO BE USE TO TAKE THE TEST, FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY AND TO MY BELIEVE I DO AGREE WITH THEM... WHAT IS THE SENSE OF HAVING A EMERGENCY BRAKE IF IT DOES NOT STOP THE CAR??? PLEASE , EMERGENCY BRAKES ARE A LIFE OR DEAD SITUATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. I DO HAVE THE RECEIVE THE DEALER GAVE ME WHEN CHECK FOR THE PROBLEM. I CAN FAX TO YOU IF NEED IT.

DURING ACCELERATION, AN AT LOW SPEED, A STUMBLE OUR LACK OR ACCELERATION IS EXPERIENCING SOME ISSUES AN IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY.

HEADLIGHTS ONLY SHINE ABOUT 50 FEET AHEAD. DOESN'T GIVE YOU ENOUGH TIME TO REACT TO SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. HAVE ALMOST HIT A NUMBER OF DEER ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. HAVE TAKEN CAR BACK TO DEALER. THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT FOR HEADLIGHTS.

TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING ON MY WIFE'S BRAND NEW 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. CAR HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES ON IT. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ORDERED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION TO INSTALL. VERY STRANGE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GO OUT THIS SOON. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ON THE NEW OUTLANDERS.
