ON A CONSTANT BASIS WHEN I'M DRIVING MY VEHICLE I HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY RELEASE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL FOR IT TO ATTEMPT TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR OTHERWISE IT CONTINUES TO REV UP THE RPMS HIGHER AND HIGHER ON IT'S OWN AND IT'S AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN DRIVING UP HILL ON THE HIGHWAY I LITERALLY HAVE TO PUNCH THE GAS PEDAL OR HAVE IT FULLY DEPRESSED DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE VEHICLE TO HAVE ANY ACCELERATION TO MAKE IT UP THE HILL AND IT STILL LOOSES ANY POWER MOMENTUM YOU GIVE IT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TWICE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A.C. ISSUES FIRST THE SYSTEM BECAME CLOGGED AND STARTED TO LEAK INSIDE MY VEHICLE. NOW IT'S BLOWING HOT AIR ON THE MAX COLD SETTING. I HAVE REPETITIVELY TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN AFTER NOW 4 RECALLS FOR TOTALLY DIFFERENT ISSUES AND HAVE TOLD THEM OF MY ISSUES AND KEEP GETTING DISMISSED AND TOLD THAT IT'S NOTHING. I REACH OUT TO MITSUBISHI AND GET TOLD SOMEONE WILL CONTACT ME AND GET NO RESPONSE. I HONESTLY HAVE EXPERIENCED MORE BUT CAN'T THINK OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD OTHER THAN I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE MY WINDSHIELD WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING IT FROM A SMALL CHIP. I HONESTLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY VEHICLE ESPECIALLY BEING AN EMPLOYEE WORKING AT A LEVEL 1 TRAUMA HOSPITAL AND HAVE TO RESPOND EFFICIENTLY AT TIMES BUT DO T FEEL THAT I CAN WITHOUT FEELING LIKE I AM PUTTING BOTH MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME AT RISK WHEN MY CAR SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE IT WON'T DO WHAT IT SHOULD. BEING I BOUGHT THIS CAR OFF THE DEALERSHIP LOT BRAND NEW FOR NEARLY $30K, I DON'T FEEL MITSUBISHI HAS OWNED UP MAKING THIS CAR READY FOR THE ROAD.

RECENTLY REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PADS ON ALL FOUR WHEELS OF MY OUTLANDER. ALL BUT THE REAR PASSENGER ARE WORKING FINE, WHILE THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE IS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. WE'VE REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS 3 TIMES, REPLACED THE ROTOR ONCE, AND EVEN REPLACED THE WHOLE CALIPER; IT'S STILL MAKING A GRINDING SOUND. THERE'S A RECALL POSTED FOR SOME 2016 OUTLANDERS FOR THE PARKING BRAKE NOT ENGAGING/DISENGAGING PROPERLY AND WE MIGHT THINK THIS IS THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THIS RECALL IS NOT APPLIED TO OUR 2016 OUTLANDER. I THINK WE ARE HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT IS LISTED ON THIS RECALL.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN TURNING ONTO A HIGHWAY, I ACCELERATED AND MY CAR WAS MOVED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND MY CAR TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON JUST A SECOND OR SO LATER AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. I AM NOT CERTAIN WHAT HAPPENED AS THERE WERE NO CODES THROWN AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO OPERATE AFTER TURNING ITSELF BACK ON. I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING THAT IS FAULTY. WHEN I GOT HOME, I CHECKED ALL THE CONNECTIONS AND DID NOT SEE ANY OBVIOUS FAULTS. I ALSO CHECKED ALL FLUID LEVELS AND CAPS JUST TO BE CERTAIN IT WASN'T SOMETHING RELATED TO ANY OF THAT SOMEHOW. IT IS SCARY THOUGH BECAUSE THERE WERE VEHICLES COMING TOWARD ME FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS.

THIS IS NOW MY SECOND COMPLAINT TO YOU. AGAIN ON THE HEADLIGHTS THIS TIME THEY WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.THANK GOD I HAD HIGH BEANS EVEN THOUGH I'M SURE THE PEOPLE I PASSED DIDN'T APPRECIATE IT. SINCE OWNING THIS SUV I HAVE HAD THE BULBS REPLACED 5 TIMES ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND 7 TIMES ON THE LEFT.WAS TOLD BY AUTOZONE THAT THEY BELIEVE THE SEAL AROUND THE LIGHT IS CAUSING THE MOISTURE TO ENTER AND CARRODE .NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE REAL PROBLEM!. THE PRICE OF THESE REPLACEMENT BULBS ARE NOT CHEAP.I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS ON ANY OF MY VEHICLES DURING MY LIFETIME.... I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS BY SEARCHING THE NET..I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY MITSUBISHI.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND SUDDENLY MY CAR BEGAN TO JERK, AS IF IT WAS HICCUPING, AND REFUSED TO ACCELERATE FOR A NUMBER SECONDS. IT LABORED TO MAKE IT HOME. IT WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WOULD ACCELERATE AND THEN JERK CAUSING TRAFFICS TO ABRUPTLY HALT WITHOUT WARNING, BY THE TIME I GOT HOME IT WAS STUCK ON 1ST GEAR, AND NOW WON'T EVEN REVERSE. MY CAR IS NOT DRIVE ABLE . SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION IT THRU A TRANSMISSION CODE. I THINK IT MIGHT BE A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. I BELIEVE THE CONSTANT VELOCITY TRANSMISSIONS ARE RECALLED, MY VEHICLE HAS A CVT.

I HAVE A 2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER WITH A 2.4L ENGINE AND THE JATCO CVT TRANSMISSION AND ONLY 75,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING ERRATICALLY AND SHUDDERING WHEN GOING CERTAIN MPH RANGES TYPICALLY BETWEEN 45 AND 60 MPH. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO GO WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. FROM A STOP, IT TAKES 5 SECONDS FOR THE VEHICLE TO GO ONCE IT IS PUT IN DRIVE. I HAVE A TROUBLE CODE ON MY OBD OF P084A. THIS HAS BEEN DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS A CAR ON THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY. MY WIFE ALSO GOT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ITERSECTION BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HESITATED FOR AROUND 5 SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATING. MITSUBISHI HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS VEHICLE, NUMBER TSB-17-23-002 THAT COVERS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY VEHICLE AND EVEN HAS AN ECU REPROGRAM THAT WILL PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. THE PROBLEM IS A SERVICE BULLETIN DOES NOT COVER THE COSTS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND COMMON DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE AND TRANSMISSION AND MITSUBISHI IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED.

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN FOLLOW UP TO PREVIOUS COMPLAINT 11353585 REGARDING FROZEN CALIPER. AS PREVIOUS STATED THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE. THE REASON FOR THIS FOLLOW UP IS TO REPORT AN ASSOCIATED ISSUE. SPECIFICALLY, THAT I FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE A REPLACEMENT BRAKE CALIPER. THE CALIPER WAS ONLY AVAILABLE THRU THE DEALER, NOT INCLUDING LABOR, THE DEALER CHARGED $570.88 FOR ONE CALIPER. I HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS CALIPERS OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE NEVER SPENT OVER $150 FOR A CALIPER. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS PRICE FOR A CALIPER AND APPEARS TO BE MONOPOLIZED PRICE GOUGING BY MITSUBISHI.

WHEN DRIVING YOU FEEL THAT SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STARTS JERKING, AND WHEN GOING ON AN UPHILL THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER, SLOWS DOWN AND MAY EVEN STOP COMPLETELY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SPECIALLY IF YOU DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY; THE CARS BEHIND YOU CAN HIT YOU AT FULL SPEED WHICH IN WORST CASE IT COULD BE FATAL. IT STARTED HAPPENING WHEN MY CAR HAD ABOUT 110K MILES AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY DUE TO THE MILEAGE AND THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF ABOUT $8,000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHILE COMMUTING ON THE HIGHWAY (~60MPH) MY CAR SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED AND WOULD NOT SHIFT BACK TO NORMAL GEARS FOR HIGH SPEEDS (RPM GAUGE WAS SPORADIC, SHUTTERING AND JUMPY). I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP (CVT SPECIALIST) DRIVING 10 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT AND I NEEDED TO REPLACE IT (COST WAS 2,527.98) AFTER THE CVT WAS REPLACED, ROUGHLY ABOUT 45 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING , THE CAR IT STARTED DISPLAYING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I RETURNED THE CAR BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY SAID THE DEALERSHIP NEEDED TO DO SOME UPGRADES TO THE TRANSMISSIONS COMPUTER. AFTER THE UPDATES, DRIVING WAS NORMAL IN TILL ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER THE CVT SERVICE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN AND STARTED SHUTTERING... SO I TRADED IN THE CAR. THIS CARS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND MONEY PIT COSTING ME AND MY FAMILY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. CAR WAS ONLY AT 65K MILES WITH PROPER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND NO RECALLS WERE LISTED FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE USING JATCO CVT TRANSMISSIONS WHICH IS DESIGNED WITH A METAL BELT ROLLING ACROSS 2 OPPOSING SIZE PULLEYS IN THE TRANSMISSION TO MAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING SMOOTHER AND FASTER. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY IS THAT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, THE BELT AND THE PULLEY START TO GRIND AGAINST EACH OTHER AND REDUCE THE SIZE OF EACH AND CAUSE SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION. METAL SHAVINGS BEGIN TO APPEAR IN THE TRANSMISSION PAN SHOWING THE WEAR. THE DESIGN ALSO MANDATES THAT THE VEHICLE OWNER CHANGE THE FLUID AND FILTER EVERY 30,000 MILES AT THE COST OF $200 TO $300 OUT OF THE OWNERS POCKET. WHEN THIS TRANSMISSION STARTS PRODUCING METAL SHAVINGS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSMISSION PAN, SUCH AS IT HAS IN MY VEHICLE, WHICH ONLY HAS 103,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD, REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION IS THE ONLY OPTION. THE DEALERSHIP COSTS $9,400 AND A COUPLE OF TRANSMISSION SHOPS HAVE QUOTED $7,400. THIS TECHNOLOGY COSTS THE CONSUMER MORE TO NOT ONLY OPERATE BUT ALSO DEVALUES THE PRICE OF THEIR VEHICLE IN A SHORT SPAN OF TIME. MOST TRANSMISSION EXPERTS ESTIMATE AND HAVE EXPERIENCED TROUBLE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION TO LAST NO MORE THAN 3 TO 5 YEARS BEFORE IT MUST BE REPLACED. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP AND TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR A 2ND OPINION ABOUT THE SLIPPING. THE TRANSMISSION ONLY SLIPS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST ENGAGED INTO GEAR. AFTER A 2 SECOND HESITATION, THE VEHICLE DRIVES WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BBB, THE LOUISIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL, MITSUBISHI'S US HEADQUARTERS, SEVERAL ATTORNEYS, WHO WON'T REPRESENT ME BECAUSE NOBODY HAS GOTTEN INJURED, AND I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TRANSMISSION (JATCO USA, INC}. MITSUBISHI AND THE DEALERSHIP WON'T RESEARCH WHY THIS TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AT THE LOW MILEAGE.

THE FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE /BATTERY AREA AFTER I HAD TRIED TO GIVE A JUMP START A DAY BEFORE BUT THE CAR DID NOT START. FIRE WAS MOSTLY CONTAINED UNDER THE HOOD. SINCE 2016, THE CAR WAS MOSTLY GARAGED AND SPARINGLY DRIVEN AND HAD VERY VERY LOW MILES NOT ENOUGH TO GET FIRST SERVICE IF I RECALL CORRECTLY. THE INTERIOR STILL SMELLS FRESH CAR. I HAD REGISTERED THE CAR WITH DMV AS NON OPERATIVE STATUS AND DID NOT RENEW MY INSURANCE AS I WAS NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. EVEN WHEN I DROVE COUPLE OF TIME, MITSUBISHI SMELLED LIKE ROTTEN EGGS ESPECIALLY WHEN I WOULD START OR PARK AFTER A SHORT DRIVE. I ASKED THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS NOT TOLD TO IGNORE IT. I HAVE FEW DOCUMENTS FROM DMV, INSURANCE AND PHOTOS THAT I WILL ATTACH. I NEED TO BE TOTALLY REIMBURSED FOR THE PRICE OF THE CAR. I DO HAVE FEW LOAN PAYMENT RECEIPTS , IF NEEDED TO PROVE. AFTER THE FIRE, NEITHER HOME NOR AUTO INSURANCE WILL COVER THE DAMAGE OF THE CAR. THE BURNT CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. PLEASE HELP ASAP.

I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE AND STARTED IT BACK AND THE RPMS WERE JUMPING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THE CAR WAS JERKING I COULDN'T GET IT ABOVE 45. MADE IT TO MY DAUGHTERS APT ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY AND PARKED IT. I DID SO MUCH RESEARCH ON THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE CRASH RATINGS BUT TOTALLY MISSED THE TRANSMISSION RECALL. I CALLED HYMAN BROTHERS MITSUBISHI IN MIDLOTHIAN AND WAS TOLD IT WASN'T COVERED. THIS TRANSMISSION RECALL IS MUCH LARGER THAN WHAT'S OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. I CHECKED THE VIN AND MY CAR DIDN'T HIT. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 45 DAYS AND NOW I'M HAVING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON A CAR THAT'S 4 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 84K MILES ON IT. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON 64 WHICH IS A 6 LANE INTERSTATE.

I WAS DRIVING TONIGHT AND MY LIGHTS WENT OUT, ( FOR THE 3RD TIME) I HAVE REPLACED THESE LIGHTS TWICE ALREADY THE LAST TIME BEING A FEW MONTHS AGO...NOW THEY BOTH GO OUT WHILE DRIVING! I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL MITSUBISHI CARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST ONE I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THE LIGHTS! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT...OR WORSE KILLED!

SINCE WE'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THE LIGHTS. AT NIGHT, YOU CAN HARDLY SEE. WHEN I ADDRESSED WITH SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND TO RESOLVE, I WOULD NEED TO BUY THE NEWER MODEL. THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY MY HUSBAND ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES! THIS MORNING WHEN I LEFT FOR WORK, THEY ARE OUT YET AGAIN. THIS IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE! ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, I WAS COMING HOME ON ROUTE 95 IN 8 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY WENT OUT AGAIN. AT THIS POINT, WE'RE DONE! AS WE SPEAK I'M WORKING WITH A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO GET OUT OF THIS DEATH TRAP AND I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ESCALATE THIS ISSUE TO ENSURE OTHERS ARE NOT IMPACTED.

DRIVE 2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT. OCT 2018 STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SENDER BEHAVING ERRATICALLY. FILL WITH GAS AND MAY SHOW FULL TANK OR 3/4 TANK, WITHIN LESS THAN MILE THE MILES UNTLL NEXT FILL WILL JUMP UP. WHILE DRIVING IT WILL JUMP ALL OVER THE PLACE - IN LESS THAN BLOCK IT WENT FROM 390 TO 440. HAS BEEN AS HIGH AS 460. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN I WENT OVER 300 MILES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWING 3/4 FULL. HAS A 16 GALLON TANK SO ON 4 GALLONS I WOULD HAVE AVERAGED ABOUT 75 MILES TO THE GALLON. HAVE INCLUDED CHART OF ONE FILL UP SHOWING THE MILEAGE AND WHAT THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS FOR MILES TO NEXT FILL. HAVE ALSO INCLUDED SOME PICTURES TO SHOW DIFFERENCES. SOME INSTANCES I PARK THE CAR AND IT WILL SHOW THE MILES TO FILL AND WHEN I START IT AGAIN THAT WILL HAVE RISEN BY 10'S OR DROPPED BY 10'S. DRIVE 7 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK AND IT HAS GIVEN AS MANY ARE 6 DIFFERENT READINGS DURING THE DRIVE. HAS BEEN ONE YEAR AND STILL NO FIX AND AM AFRAID OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT TIMES - DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, CITY STREETS, TURNING, STRAIGHT. NO CONSISTENCY, JUST HAPPENS. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES - THEY KEPT IT TWICE FOR A WEEK EACH TIME - AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. ALSO CALLED MITSUBISHI AND THEY SAY DEALER CONTACTED THEM AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. AT WITS END ON WHAT TO DO WITH IT. ANY HELP??? VEHICLE HAD JUST OVER 20,000 MILES WHEN BEGAN - CURRENTLY HAVE JUST OVER 24,000. THANK YOU
