2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT Complaints

THE VEHICLE LAGS DURING GEAR SHIFTS AND HAS A BIG LAG WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, WHICH I HAD DONE. BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DO THIS AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETE, RED DEER MITSUBISHI IN RED DEER ALBERTA REFUSED TO LOOK ANY FURTHER, OR CONTACT HEAD OFFICE. PLEASE NOTE: 1. TIMING OF EVENTS WAS AROUND THE ORIGINAL RECALL. 2. I LIVE IN CANADA SO I HAD TO USE ALASKA AS THE STATE, AND I HADTO MAKE UP A ZIP CODE. MY REAL ADDRESS IS ABOVE THAT. 3. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? I AM GUESSING THE DATE. *CC *TR

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, SLOW EMISSIONS LEAK. IT WAS AT THE GAS CAP. RUST AROUND FILLER TUBE. NEEDED TO REMOVE RUST SO GAS CAP MAKES GOOD DEAL. SLOW ACCELERATE WITH TRANSMISSION AND NOISE FROM LOWER CONTROL ARM

ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO MY VEHICLE STARTED ACTING UP ON AND OFF. WHEN EVER MY A/C IS ON AND I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP LIKE A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGNS MY TRUCK GETS TO JERKING, IDLING UP AND MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT SHUTS OFF. IT WILL STARTED BACK UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES BUT I WILL HAVE TO TURN EVERYTHING OFF LIKE HEAD LIGHTS, EMERGENCY FLASHES. ALSO IF I AM SITTING IN THE SITTING IN MY TRUCK WITH THE AIR RUNNING IT JERKS AND TRIES TO CUT OFF, UNLESS I TURN OF THE AC COMPRESSOR, JUST LIKE IF I COME TO A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, AS LONG AS I TURN OFF THE AC COMPRESSOR MY TRUCK WANT CUT OFF. NOW, IT WAS A COUPLE OF TIMES I WAS MAKING A TURN AND COMING OFF A GAS STATION LOT AND IT JUST OFF.

MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE CALIPER FROZE LAST YEAR AND CURRENTLY MY REAR HTTPS://HOODSITE.COM/PASSENGER BRAKE CALIPER IS FROZEN. THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING AND I NOTICED A CONSTANT SCRAPING SOUND, I WAS ABLE TO JACK UP THE CAR AND SPIN THE TIRE AND CONFIRM THAT THE BRAKE IS MAKING CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR. *TR

AT 56K MILES THE TACHOMETER WOULD REV UP TO 5 WHILE MAINTAINING AN EVEN SPEED, THEN WHEN GOING UP HILLS THERE WAS NO POWER. VERY SUDDEN ISSUE NO WARNING, THEN WARNING LIGHT SERVICE TRANSMISSION REQUIRED CAME ON. VERY FRUSTRATED - MY FIRST MITSUBISHI AND I WANT IT GONE. I'VE SEEN RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR BUT MY VIN SAYS THERE ARE NONE. *TR

MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I AM BEING TOLD IT HAS NO CURRENT OPEN RECALLS AND SINCE I AM THE SECOND OWNER I DO NOT HAVE A WARRANTY. I'M CURRENTLY HAVING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH ONLY 43,000 MILES FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES LISTED IN THE RECALL.*DT*JB

2015 MITSUBISHI STARTED SPUTTERRING WHILE WAITING FOR RED LIGHT AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. CHECK ENGINE CAME ON. LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, BUT WHEN I LOOKED UP THE RECALL MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CEASED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER NOR WAS A DEALER NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATELY FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHILE DRIVING ALONE, THE 'AIRBAG SYSTEM REPAIR REQUIRED' MESSAGE AND LIGHT APPEARS ON MY DASHBOARD. THIS OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH. THE ICON SHOWN WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT, HOWEVER THE SEAT WAS EMPTY. *TR

THIS 2015 OUTLANDER SPORT WAS BOUGHT FROM A DEALER AT 42,000 MILES, NOW IT HAS 69,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR WOULD DO JUMPS OR JERKS DURING LOW SPEED OR GETTING UP TO SPEED ABOUT 30-45MPH. THE RPM JUMPS UP AND DOWN WHILE GOING 50-70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE MITSUBISHI RECALL SR-16-006 STATED BACK IN 2016 FOR 2015-2016 OUTLANDER SPORT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A MITSUBISHI DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS AN INTERNAL FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION, CODE 084A, FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR PERFORMANCE. THE DEALER WANTS $7,700 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. SADLY, A SECOND OWNER'S POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. THE CAR HAD THE CVT-ECU SOFTWARE UPDATED BACK IN 2016 THROUGH THE MITSUBISHI RECALL SR-16-006 WHEN IT WAS OWNED BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER DID NOT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AS THEY SHOULD HAVE ACCORDING TO THE RECALL. THUS HERE WE ARE, THE OWNERS WITH CARS THAT HAVE THE OLD TRANSMISSIONS WITH THE PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED! MITSUBISHI NEEDS TO MAKE ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE TRAFFIC TO SUDDENLY LOSE POWER TO ACCELERATE OR WHEN THE CAR WANTS TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE BY ITSELF CONSTANTLY! THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER SAFETY DEFECT, THE CAR BARELY HAS 69,000 MILES! WE ARE A MITSUBISHI FAMILY. WE HAVE A 2002 LANCER THAT IS CURRENTLY AT 200,000+ MILES WITHOUT ANY MAJOR REPAIR! WE ALSO HAVE A 2014 OUTLANDER SPORT THAT IS STILL RUNNING WELL AT 60,500+ MILES, AND WE'RE HOPING FOR THE BEST. IT IS VERY SAD TO BE IN THIS POSITION. THIS VIDEO SHOWS THE PROBLEM THE CAR IS HAVING: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/ABD9PHF5CEA?T=107 LOOK AT THE RECENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND THINK ABOUT HOW MANY OF THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE NHTSA INFORMATION: HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/VEHICLE/2015/MITSUBISHI/OUTLANDER%252520SPORT/SUV/FWD. *TR
