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

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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 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.

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

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON MAY 1, 2020 I DROVE ABOUT 15 MILES FROM MY HOME TO MEDFORD, OREGON. I MADE ONE STOP AND UPON GETTING BACK INTO THE VEHICLE, I COULD NOT START OR TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT OF THE VEHICLE. THE MAINFRAME KEPT SHOWING "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED" I COULD NOT LOCK THE VEHICLE FOR SAFETY. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT IS ITS MAIN PURPOSE. I COULD NOT TURN OFF THE UNIT WHICH MOST LIKELY RAN THE BATTERY DOWN AND IS MOST LIKELY DEAD. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHICH CANNOT ACCESS RECALL INFORMATION. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $150 TO DIAGNOSE, AND CANNOT PERFORM ANY RECALL WORK. I PURCHASED THIS CAR TO AVOID GETTING FIRED FROM A JOB THAT I HAD TO TRAVEL AN HOUR EACH WAY. THREE MONTHS LATER THEY LAID ME OFF. NOW THE CAR I PURCHASED IS NOT WORKING. I HAD CONTACTED THE PLACE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AFTER I PURCHASED BEFORE THIS HAPPENED TO GET HELP WITH THE RECALL WHICH THEY ASSURED ME THERE WAS A PLACE LOCALLY. WHICH THERE IS NOT. THE CLOSEST PLACE IS CALIFORNIA OR PORTLAND. NOW THAT THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE, I CANNOT GET IT TO THE RIGHT DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. I DON'T HAVE EXTRA FINANCES TO MANAGE THIS. I AM A SINGLE PARENT ON UNEMPLOYMENT AND I NEED A VEHICLE TO BE ABLE TO WORK. THIS SITUATION IS CRITICAL AND I AM VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF HELP AND SUPPORT I HAVE RECEIVED TO HAVE A WORKING SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLE. SITUATION: I DROVE TO TOWN. PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD NOT START. BRAKES ARE LOCKED. STEARING WHEEL LOCKED. SHIFTER LOCKED. RADIO ON. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF DRAINING THE BATTERY. WINDOWS CAN ROLL DOWN, BUT CANNOT USE POWER LOCKS TO LOCK THE VEHICLE.
