2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Complaints

This problem has been reported to the local dealership whom fixed the recall and they are refusing to correct the other problem that is related to the recall. The emergency brake will not release in lower freezing temperatures and or it will release and while driving seize up and stop the rear driver side tire. This causes an instant swaying of the vehicle and could potentially cause vehicle to roll if this happens at higher speeds. So far it has only happened under 35 mph. The dealership claims it’s the cable for the emergency brake that need to be replaced and there is not faulty parts that had been replaced under the recall. On that same wheel that this problem occurs the caliper has been stuck and worn. Down the pad and now is wearing into the rotor. It’s only on one side and everything that was listed under the recall for 2016 models and newer seems to match the problems with this vehicle as well. All the brakes and rotors were replaced a year ago. A tire was replaced after it had seized up and was dragging, wearing down the tire in one spot. I am asking that my vehicle have another inspection by a different facility that would be willing to look further and assist in reporting reconsideration to include the repairs that are needed on this vehicle.

I went to get my emissions check. I was informed that the rpms were not registering. After getting the car diagnosed I was informed that P1590 Mitsubishi Code - TCM To ECM Communication Error In Torque Reduction Request is the problem.

Rear liftgate lock release handle Mitsubishi part number 5810A089 (100% electrical) failed due to excessive moisture penatration in this area causing abnormal rust to the liftgate in the same location. I now notice other vehicles like mine have the same rust condition in the same area. I wash the vehicle on a regular basis and I keep it in a heated garage when I'm home.

Transmission catastrophically failed while I was driving on the highway. The transmission fluid pressure sensor error code turned on. The transmission seemed to have a delay when accelerating and caused the vehicle to shake, shudder, and jerk in and out of gear. The car cannot get above 10MPH before the issue is present. A trusted and certified transmission specialist inspected the transmission and determined that it was dead and the initial failure led to other components to fail. Since there was a delay with the acceleration, it caused the car to accelerate a moment after I let off the gas pedal to apply brakes to avoid a potential collision with another vehicle. This seems to be so common of a failure it is harder to find another person who owns or drives this model that haven’t experienced the same exact problem. There is even a pending class action lawsuit in California against the manufacturer for allegedly selling their vehicles with the defective parts while knowing well the safety risk associated with the transmission.

The engine shuts off while at idle for stop lights, stop signs, and on occasion brief stops such as reversing and turning. The battery has been replaced, the alternator has been checked, & the catalytic converter was checked no problems there. However the problem persists with no warning/engine/battery light on. This is a big problem when trying to safely operate the vehicle especially if others are expecting me to go and then the car shuts off

Driving nov 6 and I heard a noise, almost thought I hit a pot hole or something, come to a red light and dmy car .akes a whining noise and will not go. I put in a claim to my insurance company which was denied before they even looked at the car, I called back and made an adjuster look at the car because I had already been told that the transmission was going to cost about $7,000. I'm a single mother of two kids and I just finished paying that car off. So then I start reading about recalls after my insurance company denied the claim I've been without a car for about 4 weeks and I find out about the so many recalls that Mitsubishi had with the Outlander just I'm outside of the date of manufacturer so then I find this safety recall SR-17-005 for 2015 Outlander campaign C1606Z. Even when you look at the adjustice quote that I attached he doesn't have any idea what happened to the car He's saying now that it's the whole the whole transaxle that needs to be replaced not just the transmission so he's caught in a job at like $10,000 and I think my car is only worth between four and six why wouldn't he just total my car.
