2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Complaints

DRIVER SIDE CALIPER FROZE. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT WAS FROZEN. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY WHICH THEY ADVISED EXPIRED AT 60K. VEHICLE HAD 65K MILES ON IT AT TIME OF INCIDENT. I'M 52 AND FAMILIAR WITH VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND HAVE CHANGED MANY BRAKES, ROTORS, CALIPERS. NEVER HAVE I SEEN A CALIPER GO BAD WITHIN 4 YEARS. DEFINITELY A FLAW ON THIS VEHICLE AND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

I PURCHASE MY 2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER IN DECEMBER OF 2016. I HAD MY VEHICLE COME TO A COMPLETE WHILE ACCELERATING AND IN MOTION. THIS COULD OF KILLED ME AND MY FAMILY. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD CONSISTENT ACCELERATION AND HESITATING ISSUES WHILE ACCELERATING AND IN MOTION. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE. THERE'S A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY AND SAFELY. MY AIR BAG LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE HAS NOT COME ON FOR OVER YEARS. I AM VERY CONCERN THAT MY AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE AND WON'T WORK IF I GET INTO A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. I HAVE TOOK MY VEHICLE TO 2 DIFFERENT MITSUBISHI AUTO DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT AND DIAGNOSED, BUT MITSUBISHI CAN'T DIAGNOSE OR DETERMINE WHAT'S CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. ALSO, WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, WATER WAS PRESENT COMING INTO THE FLOOR BOARDS OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. LOSS OF POWER AND DELAY.. LIGHTS INSIDE ON ON DASH FLICKER AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND DIM IN AND OUT. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PHOTOS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A YEAR.

VEHICLE HESITATES DURING ACCELERATION. I HAVE HARD TIMES TO MANAGE THE PROPER SPEED. IT SHAKES AND JERKS INSTEAD. DOESN'T ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL DILLER TO CHECK FOR SOME RECALLS. THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. AND WARRANTY IS EXPIRED SINCE MY CAR HAVE 106 MILES ON IT. I HAVE TO PAY FOR CHECKING AND FIXING. BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE EXPENSES

WHEN DRIVING YOU FEEL THAT SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STARTS JERKING, AND WHEN GOING ON AN UPHILL THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER, SLOWS DOWN AND MAY EVEN STOP COMPLETELY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SPECIALLY IF YOU DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY; THE CARS BEHIND YOU CAN HIT YOU AT FULL SPEED WHICH IN WORST CASE IT COULD BE FATAL. IT STARTED HAPPENING WHEN MY CAR HAD ABOUT 110K MILES AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY DUE TO THE MILEAGE AND THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF ABOUT $8,000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHILE COMMUTING ON THE HIGHWAY (~60MPH) MY CAR SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED AND WOULD NOT SHIFT BACK TO NORMAL GEARS FOR HIGH SPEEDS (RPM GAUGE WAS SPORADIC, SHUTTERING AND JUMPY). I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP (CVT SPECIALIST) DRIVING 10 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT AND I NEEDED TO REPLACE IT (COST WAS 2,527.98) AFTER THE CVT WAS REPLACED, ROUGHLY ABOUT 45 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING , THE CAR IT STARTED DISPLAYING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I RETURNED THE CAR BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY SAID THE DEALERSHIP NEEDED TO DO SOME UPGRADES TO THE TRANSMISSIONS COMPUTER. AFTER THE UPDATES, DRIVING WAS NORMAL IN TILL ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER THE CVT SERVICE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN AND STARTED SHUTTERING... SO I TRADED IN THE CAR. THIS CARS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND MONEY PIT COSTING ME AND MY FAMILY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. CAR WAS ONLY AT 65K MILES WITH PROPER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND NO RECALLS WERE LISTED FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

ON RANDOM WHEN DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT. BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK, THE LIGHTS BOTH JUST WENT COMPLETELY OUT LEAVING ME IN THE DARK. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHTS ON FOR SAFETY. THE SECOND PROBLEM IN THE ACCELERATION, YOU CAN PUSH THE GAS BUT IT IS HAS NO POWER TO GO AND HESITATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN THE VEHICLE WAS UNEXPECTEDLY HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE CONTACT STATED SHE WAS SEEN IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR A CT SCAN AND SOFT TISSUE INJURY. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THE VEHICLE TOTALED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEM ABOUT 5 TIMES IN 3 YEARS. I EVEN HAD THEM PROFESSIONALLY PUT IN AT THE SHOP, AND NOW LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE MY SON TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH OUT AGAIN.
