JERKING FORWARD WHEN CAR MITS OUTLANDER SPORT STARTS. HAVE TRIED USING HAND BRAKE ON PARKING BUT ONCE VEHICLE IS STARTED IT SHOOTS FORWARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED, WHITE PARTICLES EMITTED FROM THE AIR VENTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE POWDER SUBSTANCE COVERED BOTH FRONT SEATS AND DASHBOARD. IN ADDITION, THE PARTICLES BLEW INTO THE DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGER'S EYES, NOSE, AND MOUTH. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES. THE MECHANIC FLUSHED THE AIR CONDITIONER AND REPLACED THE FILTERS. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

AFTER A FULL STOP BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO CAR FLOOR AND CAR MOVE FORWARD EVEN PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR I BILEVE IS THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER I HAVE TAKE THE CAR TO DEALER AND RESPONSE IS WE CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM IN LESS THAN A MONTH HAS HAPPEN 6 TIMES

TURN SIGNALS DO NOT SHUT OFF AFTER TURN. MUST TURN OFF MANUALY. AND SOMETIMES HEAD LIGHTS COME ON WHEN TURN SIGNALS ARE ON.. SAME PROBLEM WHEN CHANGING LANES ON A HIGHWAY..

SEAT BELT COVERS N COVERS THAT COVER BOLTS N NUTS KEEP COMING OFF... ONES AT FEET THAT COVER MECHANICS WON'T STAY ON. MAKES BELTS NOT FIT PROPERLY AND NOT CATCH WHEN NEEDED, NOR DO THEY STAY UNTANGLED NOR IN RIGHT POSITION ON BODIES.

WHEN I PUSH ON GAS, THE CAR NEVER SHIFTS GEARS! I CAN START OUT SLOWLY WITH A LITTLE GAS PEDDLE PRESSURE, BUT WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED AND MERGE WITH TRAFFIC, IT WILL NEVER SHIFT INTO A HIGHER GEAR! IT STAYS AT ABOUT 20MPH AND ENGINE REVS TO RED ZONE UNLESS I LIFT OFF GAS. I DON'T EVEN GET GAS PEDDLE HALF WAY DOWN. TRANSMISSION ROARS, CAR DOESN'T GO, AND I CAN'T GO FORWARD BUT AT A SLOW CRAWL UNLESS I PULL OVER, LET OFF GAS COMPLETELY SO CAR CAN SETTLE, THEN TRY AGAIN. IT WON'T SHIFT IN AWD OR 4WD AND I OLD LADY, I DON'T TROOMP N ROCKET. I JUST WANT TO GET UP TO 55MPH WITHIN 1 MILE WITHOUT SENDING MY ENGINE INTO DRAGONFLIES AND HALF A TANK OF GAS GONE! I ASKED DEALER AND HE BLEW IT OFF AS A SLOW STARTINGVEHICLE, BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE AND TYRANNY NOT SHIFTING RIGHT. HAVE TO FIND A MITSUBISHI SERVICE CENTER.

I HAD A ACCIDENT WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. I WAS DRIVING ON A 6 LANE HIGHWAY & HIT A CAR THAT WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AS IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR NO APPARENT REASON OTHER THAN REACHING FOR SOMETHING IN THE FLOORBOARD. THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE FRONT END OF MY OUTLANDER, NEEDING TO REPLACE THE BUMPER, HOOD, LIGHTS, A/C CONDENSER & MORE. NONE OF THE 7 AIRBAGS IN MY CAR WERE DEPLOYED & NONE OF THE SEATBELTS LOCKED. I WAS TOLD FROM A LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALER THAT IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE, THERE WOULD BE A CODE IN THE COMPUTER, SO THEREFORE THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY OUTLANDER OR THE SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM.

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND TAKING OFF WITH THE SHIFTER ENGAGED IN AUTOMATIC, THE CAR QUICKLY ENGAGES THE FIRST GEAR BUT AS I DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, IT FEELS AND SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO STALL OUT AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS BACK DOWN AS IF HESITATING AND MALFUNCTIONING, THEN IT VERY SLOWLY OVER ABOUT A 20-30 SECOND LULL WILL BEGIN TO PICK UP SPEED AT AN INCREDIBLY SLOW AND DANGEROUS SPEED. I HAVE TRIED MAKING RIGHT TURNS AND LEFT YIELD TURNS ONLY TO FIND THAT I CANNOT MOVE FAST ENOUGH OUT OF ANOTHER VEHICLES PATH IN A SAFE TIME AND THAT IT IS TOO DIFFICULT TO TRY AND PRESUME HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO CROSS A STREET AS THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE IS UNPREDICTABLE EVERY TIME. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY DRIVE WITH THE SHIFTER IN MANUAL TO OVERRIDE THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO DECIPHER THE SAFER MANUAL POSITION IT ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE.

I WAS PARKING MY CAR AND MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. JUST AS I WAS GOING TO SHIFT MY CAR INTO PARK, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR, IN SPITE OF BRAKING. THE CAR JUMPED THE CURB IN THE PARKING LOT AND ENDED UP STOPPING ON TOP OF A LANDSCAPING BOULDER. THIS STOPPED THE CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD AS THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS ON TOP OF THE ROCK, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AS I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. TRANSMISSION PAN AND ENGINE CRADLE DAMAGED BY COLLISION. HAD THE LANDSCAPING BOULDER NOT BEEN THERE, THE CAR WOULD HAVE CONTINUED INTO THE BUILDING IN FRONT OF ME.
