2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT Complaints

ASC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND SHORTLY AFTER THE ENGINE OVERHEATING WARNING. THIS HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESSWAY (COLD TEMPERATURE: 15-20 DEGREES IN KY)

WHILE DRIVING AND AUTOMATIC THE CAT JUMPS RPMS AND DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT WHEN IN MANUAL IT DRIVES PERFECTLY FINE.

ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING IS GOING OUT. STERLING/MOANING WHEN I ENTER OR LEAVE A PARKING SPACE. A NEW THING HAS BEEN ADDED - THE BRAKES 'CATCH' WHEN I MAKE A HARD BRAKE AND I WONDER IF THE TWO ARE ASSOCIATED WITH EACH OTHER.

VEHICLE WAS AT DEALER SHIP FOR RECALLS. REAR CALIPERS STILL LOCK UP SLIGHTLY FROM EMERGENCY BRAKE ACTUATOR ISSUE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACTUATOR LEVER BUT NEVER REMOVED THE CALIPER TO DISASSEMBLE AND CLEAN OUT CORROSION BEHIND PISTON. STUART SAID THE SPRINGS WERE REPLACED. I LOOKED AND CAN SEE THE ORIGONAL RUSTY SPRINGS. THE BRAKES STILL SLIGHTLY LOCK UP ON THE REARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT BODY SHOP WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT HER LOWER CONTROL WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE; SHE WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR. MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V279000 (STRUCTURE, SUSPENSION) WHICH SHE LINKED TO HER FAILURE. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

THE FRONT DOOR (PASSENGER SIDE) HAS RUSTED ALL ALONG THE BOTTON OF THE DOOR. IN ADDITION THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM THE DOOR WHEN YOU OPEN AND CLOSE IT. SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE INSIDE THE DOOR BETWEEN THE OUTER DOOR AND THE INNER DOOR. THERE IS NO RUST ON THE REST OF THE CAR.

RIGHT REAR CALIPER RUBS AND STICKS FOR A FEW DAYS THEN STOPS AFTER A FEW MILES. IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY DAY OR EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. DOES IT MORE WHEN IT IS BELOW 40. CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE, CANNOT GET PARTS TO FIX IT ANYWHERE INCLUDING MITSUBISHI. CALLED A DEALER 2 WEEKS AGO TO ORDER AND STILL WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN.

MY 2014, MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT, FEELS LIKE IT'S WOBBLING AND I HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE THEN I PRESS ON MY BRAKES, THE NOISE GETS LOUDER WHEN IT SLOWS DOWN. I HAD IT INSPECTED AND THEY CHANGED TWO OF THE ROTORS IN AUGUST, SO I THOUGHT THAT WOULD HELP, BUT IT DIDN'T IT STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I CHECKED MY VIN # ON THE MITSUBISHI WEBSITE AND IT STATES THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR. IT'S BEGINNING TO GET A BIT SCARY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A MESSAGE DISPLAYED, INDICATING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GETTING HOT AND TO SLOW DOWN. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IN HOT WEATHER AT THE TIME OF THE MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION PUMP FAILED. THE MECHANIC CHECKED ALL OVER THE NATION AND COULD NOT FIND A USED TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE RECALL ISSUES. FUCCILLO MITSUBISHI (18822 US-11, WATERTOWN, NY 13601, (800) 244-1745) STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND THE REPAIR WOULD COST MORE THAN $8,000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND RUDELY STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO ISSUE A RECALL JUST FOR THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AND IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,500.

SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE THERE HAVE BEEN TWO PRIOR RECALLS CONCERNING THE WIPER MOTORS. THE LAST REPAIR WAS NOT RIGHT AND I COMPLAINED TO ANY THAT WOULD LISTEN YET NOTHING WAS DONE. NOW MY WIPER BLADE MOTOR IS FAILING IN THE SAME WAY AS THE PRIOR RECALL SPOKE OF. MY BLADES FUNCTION ERRATICALLY AND DO NOT COME BACK TO REST IN THE PARK POSITION. THE ORIGINAL RECALL WORK AND PARTS WHERE SUBPAR AT BEST.
