2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT Complaints

TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALER DUE TO A VIBRATION COMING FROM TRANSMISSION, AND ALSO, MY VEHICLE WOULD BE SLUGGISH WHEN IT WARMED UP. MOST CONCERNING, WAS WHEN SLOWING AT AN INTERSECTION TO TURN, AND THEN PRESSING THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD BE HESITANT. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. BASED ON OTHER REVIEWERS, I FIND THIS TO BE A CONCERN FOR MORE THAN JUST MYSELF. I HAD TO PURCHASE A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION AT $7,100. TOTAL MILES IS 56,000. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY, AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE RPMS WOULD SHOOT UP, BUT THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. I HAD TROUBLE AT TIMES SPEEDING UP ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS COULD HAVE ALSO RESULTED IN A BAD ACCIDENT.

REPORT RECEIPT DATE: NOV 21, 2014 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V744000 MITSUBISHI REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE PASSENGER SEATBELT WHICH HAS BECOME LOOSE AND DOES NOT LATCH ANYMORE. THEY ARE SAYING THIS RECALL DOES NOT AFFECT MY VIN #. MY CAR IS ALSO A 2014, I THINK YOU NEED TO REVISE YOUR RECALL TO INCLUDE MY VIN # AND ALL OTHERS THAT WERE PRODUCED THE SAME DAY, AS THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO MINE AND AVOID LOSS OF LIFE AND THE LIABILITIES THAT CAN COME FROM THAT.
