2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT Complaints

VEHICLE STARTED HAVING ROUGH IDLE AT ABOUT 70,000 MILES WHEN AIR CONDITIONER WOULD BE TURNED ON. RMP'S WOULD FLUCTUATE BETWEEN 500-1000. NOW AT ABOUT 90,000 MILES VEHICLE HAS ROUGH IDLE WHETHER AC IS ON OR NOT. VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHEN CHANGING GEARS, WHILE WAITING AT A STOP OR WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFIC. TODAY 3/24/21 VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ENTERING AN INTERSECTION WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE ALSO HAS A HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHETHER FROM A STOP OR FROM A COASTING SPEED.VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP ON OCTOBER 2019 FOR CVT8-ECM REFLASH AS PER RECALL BUT IT ONLY SOLVED THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AS THESE PROBLEMS CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY/ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP, CAUSING THE STOPPING DISTANCE TO BECOME EXTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER ABELOFF KIA LOCATED AT 1169 N 9TH ST, STROUDSBURG, PA 18360 WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPER WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT YET NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM TO REFLECT THAT THE FOLLOWING RECALLS HAVE BEEN FIXED. ' 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT / RVR - REPLACE (2) ELECTRICAL POWER CONTRO (NHTSA #17V609) ' REAR PARKING BRAKE - 4A MODELS (NHTSA #18V070) ' FRONT WIPER LINK REPLACEMENT (NHTSA #18V103) THE WORK WAS COMPLETED AT THE FOLLOWING DEALERSHIP CHARLIE'S MITSUBISHI 495 WESTERN AVENUE AUGUSTA, ME 04330 SERVICE: (207) 213-2702

RECEIVED RECALL DOCUMENTATION IN AUGUST 2020, CALLED TO GET INFORMATION (SPOKE TO AMBER). TOLD TO CALL AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. CALLED AND GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR SEPTEMBER 26, 2020 AT 8AM AT 165 LINCOLN HIGHWAY, FAIRLESS HILLS PA 19030. ON SEPTEMBER 25, I RECEIVE A CALL THAT THEY RAN OUT OF THE RECALL PARTS AND HAVE TO CANCEL MY APPOINTMENT, THEY WILL CALL WHEN THEY'RE BACK IN STOCK. I CALLED IN NOVEMBER, DECEMBER AND JUST LAST WEEK TO FIND OUT THEY STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY OF THE FRONT CROSS MEMBERS TO REPLACE THEM (AND SHE SAID THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE STILL WAITING). IN MY RECALL LETTER IT STATES " A DETACHED FRONT CONTROL ARM CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH"

WHEN DRIVING THE MITSUBISHI IT ACCELERATES ON IT'S OWN AN JERKS THEN SLOWS DOWN VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE PASS 20 MILES PER HOUR AT FIRST THEN IT SPEEDS REVVING UP I DON'T WANT TO GET HIT FROM BEHIND AN I DON'T WANT TO REAR END ANYONE VICE VERSA. THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOOSE AN LIGHT WEIGHT. I HAVE ENCLOSED A YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS WHAT THE VEHICLE IS DOING NOTE THAT IS NOT ME SPEAKING IN THE YOUTUBE VIDEO BUT THOSE ARE THE EXACT ISSUES THAT THE GUY IN THE VIDEO POSTED

TRANSMISSION ISSUES/ FAILURE AT 116,000 MILES WITH KNOWN ISSUES FROM OTHERS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE/FAILURE AND REPLACEMENT FOR 'SPECIALTY' CVT TRANSMISSION UNREASONABLY PRICES TO REPLACE. THESE TRANSMISSION ISSUES ARE NOT DISCUSSED AT POINT OF SALE (WHICH IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SALESMAN) BUT ALSO NO DISCLOSURE FROM MITSUBISHI. THESE TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD NOT FAIL SO SOON. WHEN DRIVING ISSUES WHEN SHIFTING NOT AS NORMAL AND THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT THAT ENGAGES UNTIL RIGHT BEFORE YOUR TRANSMISSION FAILS. IT IS NOT SAFE!*DT CONSUMER STATED HER VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL.*JB

ROTARS PREMATURELY SEVERELY RUSTED. MAY BE RELATED TO THE FACT THAT NO PROTECTION WAS USED FOR THE CAR AGAINST ROCK SALT AS INDICATED IN LATEST SAFETY RECALL, WHICH ONLY MENTIONED THE FRONT CROSS MEMBERS. IF PROTECTION WAS NOT IN PLACE THIS WOULD AFFECT ANY AREA OF THE CAR THAT COULD CARRODE OR RUST WHERE EXPOSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE CHANGING GEARS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PRESTIGE KIA (3525 WI-93 TRUNK, EAU CLAIRE, WI 54701) WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SERVICED UNLESS A WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT LINKED HER FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V563000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I WENT TO MY DEALER WITH THE RECALL LETTER. THEY SPRAYED IT NOT REPLACE IT. NOT LIKE THE LETTER SAID TO DO.I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY.

MY CAR STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A SURGE CONDITION WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND A TRANSMISSION SERVICE REQUIRED IS SHOWN AT THE DASHBOARD ALONG WITH A CODE P084A THAT WAS SCANNED AT THE DEALER. NOW THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I ASKED HOW COME MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL THAT MITSUBISHI DID FOR 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT BACK IN APRIL OF 2020, SINCE THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS PER THE TSB-20-23-001 AND THEY TOLD ME THAT, IT GOES ONLY BY THE VIN #, AND MY CAR IS NOT LISTED. NOW THEY OFFERED MY A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR ALMOST $7K OR A USED ONE FOR $3.5 K I JUST CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY, MY CAR BARELY PASSED 100K (117K TO BE EXACT)
