2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT Complaints

I'VE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR SINCE DECEMBER 2017. EVERY SINCE I'VE PURCHASED A VEHICLE THE BRAKES ARE ALWAYS SQUEAKING WHEN YOU BACK UP.

VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE ALTHOUGH STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL. VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND SEEMS TO WANT TO TURN OFF. ONCE THE VEHICLES GETS TO ABOUT 25 MPH, IT ACCELERATES WITH NO PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE MANUFACTURER BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO GET RESOLVED. VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN IN FOR A RECALL REGARDING THIS MATTER BUT THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

MY VEHICLE WITH VIN # [XXX] HAS 2 OPEN RECALL OF WHICH COULD BE VERY SERIOUS INVOLVING CALIPER BRAKING, AND A CORROSION OF BALL JOINT WIPER. I HAVE BEEN CALLING PLANET MITSUBISHI AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME FIND A WAY TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING THAT THESE PEOPLE CANT HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AT ONLY 76,000 MILES, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER WHEN GOING ANYWHERE FROM 10 MPH-40 MPH. THIS STARTED WHEN I WAS ON A CITY STREET BUT CONTINUED ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A LAG IN ACCELERATION WHEN GOING FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. MY TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON SO, I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND TEST DRIVING IT, THEY SIMPLY HAD TO RESET THE SENSOR. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT WENT ON AND MY CAR WAS STILL SHUDDERING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. AFTER GETTING A TRANSMISSION SERVICE, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS ADVISED TO DO BY THE MITSUBISHI MECHANICS, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES. AT 76,000 THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY MAJOR TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE ISSUES. I AM NOW UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR IN FEAR THAT I WILL END UP IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

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.

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.
